We have 5 students plus 5 of us at the moment. I am working until 7pm so it is DHs job to do dinner tonight as he finishes at 3. Girls need to eat at 6 to be out for 6:45. Just for background :)
Tonight's dinner is baked camembert. Dh would not make it last night because "i don't know what i am doing with it". I have told him about 11 times that all he needs to do is put it in the oven for 45 minutes, take it out and put it on a plate with baguette, salad and charcuterie (which we already have) We have eaten it many times before. On leaving this morning he said "can you send me a detailed recipe for this camembert thing"
I repeated what i have already repeated multiple times and why was he finding this incredibly simple dinner such a challengr to which i got the response "well where do i get the bread and fir example am i meant to take the plastic off"
At which point i got annoyed. Aibu to think that a 37 year old man who is a reasonably good cook, is used to making dinner for 11-12, manages a very challenging job in the police should be able to put some bloody camembert in the oven without copious instruction
AIBU?
To think that DH is being faintly ridiculous re dinner tonight

still sat in lidl car park so I could post that I've just picked up 3 because of this post
my 9 year old SON and I are having it for dinner with a rustic pain we picked up and yes, some arrangement of charcuterie. and olives.
puts shoes on and grabs car keys
well, guess what I'm having for dinner tonight
How is it an expensive dinner, when the OP has budgeted it in at less than £2 per head, and got the Camembert on special offer? 
Looks so good op!
And yes, DH did boil the potatoes dry because he was "concentrating on the salmon" 
Sometimes words fail me!
He's being pathetic. He needs a kick up the arse and/or a good laughing at.
Give it a rest, for Pete's sake, everyone sniping about how it isn't a main course/it's too expensive/why do you have five students.
Passme I'm in Scotland and I nearly made that mistake too...but it's the cornish one that's full price, wrapped in paper, the French one in the wee tub is on offer 
trufflehunterthebadger I'm just down the road a bit in a neighbouring seaside town with lots of students and a partially burnt out pier!
(No students here though, house far too messy!)
Camenbert yummmm. What time did you say it was being served again? 
Camenbert and red wine, even better.
We're celebrating DP getting a new job tonight, think i'll suggest a trip to Lid!
