Isn't he in the military? Perhaps this behavior comes from eating in

in the military, it took him a long time to get used to having to wait
for meals in a family environment. Like college kids who are used to
eating in the cafeteria, same thing... You're hungry, you go, choose
your food and eat, no waiting.
 
Does anyone ever follow their menus ? I mean if I bought all the things
to make meal like they cook I be filing for bankruptcy . + all the clean
up etc. & time.
Seems like cheaper & lot easier eat out. When I am hyngry I am hungry,
not 5 hours later , I want to eat now.

Yep. And for some odd reason he expects me to run this house like the
military. Ain't gonna happen!

I like making simple food. For example, yesterday I fried up a couple
of pork tenderloins. All I did was rub them with coarse sea salt,
fresh cracked pepper, and paprika. Into a hot pan(with a couple of
Tbsp. of vegOil). I made some broad egg noodles to go with them.
Pork tenderloins out of the pan, cooked noodles into the pan (pan
drippings yum). That was it.

I watch the cooking shows that teach and use common grocery store items. I
do not watch the fancy plating cooking shows. I watch: Good Eats, Americas
Test Kitchen and Joanne Wiers's Cooking Class. But I am a new at cooking
for myself in my old retired age.

She never "discounted" his service. She said he works behind the scenes

No, I don't usually make more than one new recipe at a meal. If the main
dish is something I haven't made before, the sides are likely to be
something I'm really familiar with, and vice versa.


That's a whole other issue. If you know you're cooking something new,
and dinner is at 7, and it will take hours to cook, you don't wait until
6:30 when you're hungry for dinner; you start working on it earlier in
the day, or the day before, if the recipe allows.

There's a PBS cooking program "A Taste of History" hosted by executive
chef Walter Stalb of the City Tavern, Philadelphia
http://www.citytavern.com/ It's a famous place but I've never been. They
intersperse his cooking with American history tidbits. The most
interesting part of the program is he cooks everything in kettles in a
large walk in fireplace, like it must've been done in the past. An
impressive display. And he's so "matter of factly" about his techniques,
meanwhile his attention to detail is impeccable. And thanks to PBS, it's
commercial free!

Go to the store and stock up on a bunch of those 1 dollar tv dinners.
When he starts bitching go to the deep freeze, rip the box off a the
container, tear back the corner over the apple goo, and stick it in the
microwave. Then tell him, "dinner will be ready in 4 1/2 minutes and you
need to let it sit for 1 minute before you eat it".

.... then continue to make a nice dinner (just enough for the polite
family members), and serve "them" when it's done...

In that case, I would recommend that you not try their recipe.

Iron Chef isn't on the plate (it's just boring). Those people are top
dogs in their field, very well paid and have a crew to help them in
the kitchen. Top Chef and Chopped are the shows that make me cringe.
They are taking advantage of desperate wannabes who need the money.

Currently, Food Network is advertising a "challenge" where their own
TV chefs compete against each other. I like that idea. That concept
will be good for a one time view and I'll either watch it when it's on
or record it for later. At this point, I don't even know when it will
be shown. Maybe the ad said and I wasn't paying attention, but the
end result is that I don't know (and I'm not interested enough to do
any "research").
