Yorkies

Yesterday I cooked a big roast dinner with all the trimmings for the family. My husband at the time said it was great and thanked me, as did the rest of the family.
I forgot to make any Yorkshire puddings but had lots of other things and thought it wouldn’t matter too much.
My husband has just messaged with the note: “we forgot we forgot the Yorkshire puddings”
I might be being petty, but I think if it had been me and he’d cooked that meal, I wouldn’t mention it as I’d think, the rest of it took a lot of prep.
I just wonder what everyone else’s thoughts are.
Normally, he’d say something was “very nice”, not particularly much enthusiasm there, so I guess, at least, he was more enthusiastic over this meal.

My thoughts are that the world is edging towards a huge and massively dangerous brink, and there are more pressing matters to be worried about than whether you did yorkshire puddings. Sorry OP, its just not important,

There are two posts before me and I hate them both. First, who actually relies on another person to feel ok this much? Who actually gives a fuck about some egg and flour. And no, the world isnt about to end, mores the pity. And even if it was, its totally irrelevant.

So what ? Nobody cares.

Divorce him.

Oh, lighten up - perhaps the OP needs to concentrate on the trivial to escape such thoughts of doom. And if it were true, I think I’d rather carry on avoiding the massive worry albeit it won’t be demands for bloody accompaniments as I hold the hard line of no Yorkshires unless beef, no apple sauce unless pork, no mint sauce without lamb, etc. That stops such moaning.

Was it roast beef?

Excellent question

He wasn’t complaining or moaning at you though, he was just saying ‘we’ forgot them. That’s literally normal conversation between adults.

Just reply 'so?' or 'fascinating.' to his boring text.

I clicked on this thread wondering if it was about the dog breed, or the chocolate bar, so I'm disappointed.

Isn’t it him just commenting? There doesn’t seem to be any criticism.

And Yorkshire puddings go with EVERYTHING!

Title 'Yorkies' in 'Relationships' - I thought you were going to ask for suggestions for a date in York: I recommend York Minster Refectory, havent had their yorkshire puddings but the food we had was excellent , so I'm sure their yp's would be too :)
