DH suddenly an incompetent cook

[DinnersReady]

I don't know what has gotten into the man but all of a sudden he is in need of explicit instructions when it comes to food

What are we eating? Where are the tins? What do you put into this dish? Where is the spaluta?

He seems to have lost any ability he had to think independently or use Google. He was fine last year. What on earth is this sudden helplessness?

I, of course, am doing the mature thing and hiding upstairs in the bedroom while he stomps around and slams kitchen cupboards.

I don't think people are "stalking you across the site".

If you've been so aggressive across a number of threads today that people now recognise your user name I think you need to accept that your posts aren't coming across well.

Hmm
What are we eating? Where are the tins? What do you put into this dish?

Going to take a wild guess that you were scheduled to make dinner originally? And he’s stepping into the breach last minute?
Because to be fair, google wouldn’t be able to answer any of those questions. I don’t understand how asking those questions = incompetence.

@Creweneck care to elaborate as I don't understand why he/she asked the question and I don't think the OP was rude at all?

I have no idea how possibly being pregnant has anything to do with her DH suddenly losing the ability to cook. Happy to be enlightened.

There is no aggression coming from me. Please re-read the thread. Others are directing aggression towards me, not the other way round.

Creweneck

Totally.

Mantarays, are you pregnant?

@mantarays I get you too, and I also think op was the rude one in her reply.

GoodDogBellaBoo

Thank you, I appreciate that.

Not as far as I know!

Just for my own amusement.

I asked google “what are we eating?” And the first hit was a YouTube video titled “what are we eating? horrible processed foods”

When I asked “where are the tins”? Google said, Berlin Tins sells bulk and wholesale tins.

When I asked “what do you put in this dish?” Google was convinced I needed to know the 11 steps to remove soap from a dishwasher.

Mantarays, are you pregnant?

Oh give it a rest. It's obvious why they question was asked. A few weeks on relationships puts the question in your head.

I don't think it applies here, some men and woman just try it on when they don't want to make the tea on their own.

@mantarays
Pointing out your dramatic derailing behaviour is aggressive and rude?
Right...

Not sure this is the site for you tbh

Apologies - it seems neither me nor the OP were aware of your delicate sensitivities or need to control our questions or censor our posts.

Clearly that's entirely my fault - you carry on derailing and name-calling

Veterinari

No, what is aggressive and rude is asking “are you still here?” and similar, when clearly I am still here. The only person derailing this thread is you.

OP. I would hide in the wardrobe until dinner was ready.

So sorry your thread had been hacked by some attention seeker.

Honestly if you're trying to be a GF you need a bit more practice.

Or perhaps find something good to watch on telly?

Life must be very dull for you if you're investing time in this as a rewarding social interaction

Oh my god what is happening

I'm not pregnant.

It's always his turn to cook on weekdays because he gets home an hour earlier than me. I do all the meals at the weekend. So we're even.

He went to the gym at 6am so could be grumpy from being tired I suppose. He's cheered up now that we've had a Thai Green Curry.

I might smuggle some biscuits and tea as well.

Did you get your tea OP or did he do a rude word with the sausages?

OP or @mnhq can you set up a new thread? This one should just be wiped with the pointless attention seeking.

PlanDeRaccordement

Hahaha thanks for that!

And there you are again, being unnecessarily rude.

No need for a new thread at all. I have no particular need to post anything else, and provided @Veterinari and whoever else can control themselves and stop being insulting I can’t see why that would change.

Anytime! Just trying to make it lighthearted!
My DH is the same when he’s last minute cooking up a dinner that I was originally scheduled to do. He just doesn’t remember how I cook the dishes I usually make so I do find myself answering similar questions.
When it’s his usual dishes and he’s on the schedule to cook, I have no questions from him- he’s like a chef then.

Could you just ask him if he's hit his head recently and suffering a bout of amnesia? If he says no just ask then why have you forgotten where everything is and lost all culinary skills? Unless you're in an abusive relationship where this line of questioning would cause you hell.

The derailing is very boring. Stop trying to point score it really doesn't matter.

At least you know your husband is smarter than google. Thai green curry is much better than horrible processed foods in a Berlin tin with a dash of dishwasher soap from the dishwasher.
