Baked 23 cookies, dh ate 8 of them

[27Bumblebees]

I baked some cookies after dinner, like I do most weekends so the kids had some slightly less unhealthy snacks to go in their lunch boxes and to just have in the house. At the end of the night I went to put them in a container from the cooling rack and only 14 remained. I had one, so dh took 8 of them in the two hours since I cooked them! What kind of shitty self control is that.

I feel more pissed off that I took a little bit of time to do something nice (mainly for the kids, we're adults, we don't need bloody biscuits), and he's just gone for it with no respect for anyone else. Only apologised when I called him out for it. Ugh.

we're adults, we don't need bloody biscuits

Good grief, you are utterly joyless.

Yawn.

Wow 14 pages of this. If you have a penis and do some selfish shit it's because you're laid back and need nice food etc. If a woman ate loads of biscuits someone had baked for the family she'd be a greedy pig. I've never seen a thread on greedy partners go any other way. The Menz Need Fud LOL.

Someone as uptight as you would not have had 2 baking trays and left an infuriating gap.

Fess up: There were 24 and you ate one yourself.

In case anyone would like my oat biscuits recipe…

75 each, oats, SR flour, caster sugar, butter
I tbsp each milk and golden syrup
Zest of one lemon. (My little zester gadget makes it v easy, used to hate doing it with a box grater.)

Put the oven on, 180/160 fan, line a tin with baking paper.
In a saucepan melt the butter with milk and G syrup.

Meanwhile mix the oats, flour, sugar, lemon zest, add melted butter etc. when cool enough, mix well.
Form into 12 flattish balls with wet hands, space well apart on baking tray, bake for around 10 mins until golden brown and still soft-ish. They harden up a bit while cooling but are still chewy.
Cool on a wire tray and if your dh is anything like mine, keep him away!

Yanbu OP. Ugh, I have the massive ick already on your behalf.

Yes, quite a bit, thanks for asking

A month ago I had some jumbo rolled oats that weren’t that nice as porridge and some maple syrup that a friend brought over to England from Canada and made flapjacks but they weren’t soft ones more harder ones. People loved them.

I can’t beat DM though. A local school had a school fair and she said she’d bake cornflake cakes but used Lindt very high cocoa chocolate and Special K as it was healthier.

I made 12 muffins last night. I never ever bake so this was a big effort on my part. There are 6 left this morning. My son had one for breakfast which means DH ate the other 5. He knew I was making a batch as a breakfast change for toddler.
Far from being angry, I’m glad he liked them
enough to stuff his face with them. There’s still plenty left. And let’s face it, this stuff is so bloody easy to make, if you want more then make more.

Can you believe i used two baking trays? Actually one was a roasting pan as the second tray was waiting to be washed and I cba doing that. I think it was 10 on the roasting pan, 13 on the tray. Never been called up tight in my life, I take it as a compliment, given my adhd and otherwise disorganised approach to life. Have I bored you to sleep yet?

I'm about to top up the lunchbox options with a batch of banana blueberry muffins. Might make 11 just to infuriate those so inclined..

I got a lecture last night for getting carried away eating chocolate chip cookies. I honestly just took one and they were so good I got carried away. I wouldn’t have taken as many if I hadn’t worked out that people would still get done and technically I was doing them a favour (they get junk in school, more lately because of good weather ergo I was helping keep them healthy). Sorry op but it’s just a lapse in self control as you say. (Sorry- the guilt now but they were good😭)

Check you, with your good baking.

I can’t fault a person who appreciates good cooking 🤷🏽‍♀️.

We don't need biscuits!? What fresh hell is this?

I'm an adult woman. If I want to eat 8 bite sized cookies I'll eat them. If I want to eat 3/4 of a packet of chocolate digestives I'll eat them. I'm the adult in the house now and I don't need permission from anyone!! My mother occasionally bakes goodies and drops them in to me. I make sure to get more than my fair share before my children descend!

I don't think anyone has ever called me greedy pig. Not to my face anyway.😂

It's the only interpretation of the events, after you're finished with 101 just tell he owes you!

And for future reference your charging schedule is first 2 cookies = free
3rd cookie = £5
4th cookie = £10
5th cookie = £20
6th cookie = £40
7th cookie =£80
8th cookie = £160

ooh, homemade biscuits, freshly baked, who could resist? And as for "adults don't need biscuits" nobody needs biscuits, but imagine a life without them...

My dad once helped himself to the jam tarts my mum had left cooling beside the oven.

He didn't realise she'd only just taken them out.
Nor did he realise that jam just removed from the oven is hot!

He never, ever did it again

Yes - greedy! He should make another batch.

Seriously op, let him enjoy his life. There isn’t a problem with what he did.

Who wants self control 24/7. He gobbled a load of cookies and enjoyed them. He sounds fun. I’d have sat and gobbled with him. There were still 15 left. There’s no problem.

Haha OP! Just means you need to bake more often if they're seen as that much of a rare treat, or he needs to! As long as he is not obese and guzzling cookies every day where's the harm in going cookie crazy one in a while! As long as you have the means to have ingredients for more that is? I suppose if your super broke and can only afford ingredients for one batch of baking occasionally then the sentiment of saving them for the kids mostly is understood

Why would he when you’ve made loads? And presumably you share food?

Adults don't need biscuits....

What fresh hell is this??

Your poor DH!

Nasty direction thread has taken. If the DH wants to scoff 8 biscuits he can cook them himself.

Though freshly baked cookies are only good for a day or 2. I can only imagine they are stale by the end of the week?

Why?

Does Op stop him shopping to get his own?
