DH ate extra lasagne and didn’t tell me

[Lolabear38]

I’m currently at home with 2 poorly DCs. We are all getting cabin fever so I may be over reacting a little here.

Yesterday I made a big lasagne for our tea. We had it with salad, corn on the cob and garlic bread so it was a substantial meal. There was enough leftover for us to have tonight (planned). I said as much to DH and he said ok fine, he said liked it a lot so was happy to have it again tonight.

I went to bed before DH last night and, unbeknown to me, he had another portion of the lasagne and didn’t say anything to me. Normally not an issue but as I said I was planning on us having it tonight too.

Today has been a hard day with the kids but I thought ‘oh at least dinner is sorted’ except when I went to get the lasagne I was bloody annoyed to see we were one portion down! I hadn’t looked at it all day today as when I put it in the fridge last night there was plenty.

DH was working later tonight so DC and I ate before he got home. I considered giving everyone a smaller portion but then I thought, f$&@ it, we’re having a normal portion and DH can have whatever is left, which is a lot less than he usually would have. He’s now home and very annoyed and thinks I’m selfish and somehow food shaming him for eating the extra last night. He said I should have left him enough, but as far as I’m concerned I did last night!

There is plenty of bread/ baked beans etc. for him to make himself something else but AIBU to be annoyed and not to have left him enough tonight?

I've figured out what you did wrong - you should have cooked half each night a la tunamayo - bob's your uncle and fanny's your aunt!! DH probably wouldn't have eaten it uncooked!!!

😂

@tunamayo81 stop calling people lazy because they reheat food, you've got food issues, stop normalising them and in doing that calling normal people lazy.

Deal with your issues without insulting others.

Bloody Hell. Who'd have thought a post about a husband finding a lasagne irresistible would generate 775 comments.

I think it's a compliment, @Lolabear38. My ex husband would not have wanted a first helping of my cooking, never mind a second. He would have had a point.

OP's story makes perfect sense to me. People wanting to be amateur Sherlocks are being ridiculous. When either DH and I are a bit hangry we're unreasonable! We're perfectly sensible after.

It's not second hand scraps!

You must waste so much food and energy

Reheating leftover lasagne is akin to feeding your children scraps? 😂

If it’s better I often eat the left overs cold and straight from the dish.

I dunno. You give stray rodent vibes tbh.

Wow! that was an intelligent response! what a clever girl 🙄

Shall I blow @tunamayo81’s mind and describe the sheer deliciousness of cold roast chicken, with bubble and squeak made with left over roast potatoes and parsnips, stuffing and sprouts?

Or shall I just luxuriate in the knowledge of the electricity saved by running the oven once (to roast the chicken, potatoes and parsnips), then just having to fry up the bubble and squeak the next day?

What if I make a cottage pie in the morning, let it cool and refrigerate it, then heat it up for dinner? How - in a rational world - is that worse than making the same cottage pie at tea time and bunging it straight in the oven?

@tunamayo81 "these type of people" you're so rude!

Don't think because you waste food and don't reheat food, it makes you a nice wholesome person it doesn't.

Although I must say I always enjoyed spending time with my children, rather than chained to the oven. Some people would rather escape either to work or cooking from scratch every single night. We're all different I suppose.

She is stuck at home with children with chickebn pos.

He can pick up something on the way home

Oh dear god you will send her right over the edge

I might have text him and said ‘there’s not enough lasagne left so you’ll have to do something for yourself when you get in.’

of course you’re not being unreasonable.

Ah, fret not. I was thinking more guinea pig than naked mole rat.

You think the things that have been said to me are justified because i don’t like reheated food? and i’m rude? haha ok!

WTF is wrong with you?

Talk about drama!

He ate TOAST?

Did you realise that's reheated bread? Reheating any kind of food is disCUSting!

@tunamayo81
What do you have for Christmas Dinner?

Pure filth

Definitely not a capybara though. They're so pleasant and chilled.

@tunamayo81 you are very rude and IMO have your priorities all wrong.

Feeding children leftovers is appalling, you said and that was one of your opening lines.

At ours we have raw turnip carved into the shape of baby Jesus in the manger. Anything else just isn't festive.
Pom bears on the side.

Maybe he’s just hungry after working , we all have extra hungry days

Lasagna ..... obviously 🙄 🤣
