To DESPAIR of DH?

[Fishfingershamwich]

DH tells me he's making fish finger sandwiches for tea. Great, one of our easy faves. I suggest he get some of the nice brioche burger buns in Sainsbury's. He heads to the shop to buy ingredients, gets home, makes tea. And he brings me out literally a loaf of brioche - a whole loaf - which he has sliced horizontally and stuffed with crappy old fish fingers from the bottom of the freezer because he doesn't understand freezer burn.

My DH is easily the cleverest person I know. IQ through the roof, complex job requiring serious intellectual ability. SO HOW COULD HE BE SO STUPID AS TO THINK THAT I WAS SUGGESTING HE CUT A LOAF OF BRIOCHE HORIZONTALLY AND STUFF IT WITH FISH FINGERS??? What was his thought process as he brought me through a sandwich which was literally a foot long and 6 inches tall?

JUST HOW?

So that you'd sort it from now on till the retirement home

Hahahaha that really is hilarious

That is brilliant! I hope you took a photo!

Thats brilliant!

Picture definately needed!

should have taken a pic! But sent back the brioche and ate the (miserable!) contents instead 😭

what happened next op, you have to tell us, did you eat it or chuck it in the bin ?

Ate the filling, not the (several thousand calories worth of) brioche!

I sent dh shopping for ingredients to make salmon fish cakes.
Water cress was on the list.
He bought salad cress.

Christ!!!

ready I will be honest, I did not realise there were many types of cress

I’m actually shaking with laughter. I wish their was a picture 😂😂😂

Hilarious! I do wish you'd taken a photo of the towering brioche butty though.

*there was a picture.. 😳

I had a similar moment when I heard Professor Hawkings declare he had never understood women. Really? After several women sacrificed their own lives to look after his needs for years.
I was so livid I literally could not speak.
I absolutely despaired that a physicist with a brain the size of a planet could say anything so unutterably stupid and predictable.

Ready - I'm with your dh, tbf. I didn't know there was cress other than that you grow in eggshells when at school

OP, tbf, you were overcomplicating the beauty of a couple of slices of thick white bread wrapped around some fish fingers. I have sympathy with your dh.

I'd have eaten it.

I once asked DH to make the ham sandwiches. I gave him the pack of naice ham and asked him to cut it to fit the bread.

He measured the bread, cut a slice of bread shaped rectangle out of the ham and put the ham off cuts back in the fridge.

I never asked again.
