Woot!
And, lo, Persephone (er, well, her brother then) arose from the darkness to walk in the light, and greatly the people did rejoice throughout the land... welcome back!
(You aren't alone! Every summer I have no-cook or grumble-fine-but-i-dontwanna-cook months, when it's just too damn hot... my approach is usually "greens in a bowl/ nuts on top/ that's dinner and everyone had just better like it!!!"...glad Amy had your back, in your hour of need.) ;)

Am I such a weirdo that I actually love to cook? I whip up an elaborate dinner every night. Do you think the wife appreciates it? She does nothing to show it.
How do you get on the "Wife Swap" show?
I wish I could cook for some of you whiners just to get a nod.
I don't think you're a weirdo. I cook my husband's lunch, dinner, and sometimes breakfast. I always make sure to pack his lunch for work as well. I love cooking, its my passion in life. I agree though, my husband RARELY shows any appriciation for how long I spend basically babying him when it comes to food, but I still do it. I'm sorry but I know if I didn't he'd eat nothing but ramen noodles, boxed mac n cheese, frozen burritos, and bologna & cheese sandwiches. And no guys, I'm not kidding. sadly.... :-\

I used to have that problem till DH retired. Now I am tutoring from home, and since he can't read or watch DVDs as much as he'd like due to his eyes, he does a bit of the cooking and cleaning and etc. Funny how he has greater appreciation for how hard housework actually is, now! "Gee--my calves are really sore from bending over cleaning the corners in the bathroom." Yeah--tell me about it. "Wow, it's so hard to get the shower stall frame clean!" Oh, yeah, big news! When he cooks up something and I like it, I always tell him how good it is, and sometimes I ask him what's in it. And if he tries something and it bombs, I never criticise it...I just say, "Well, honey, that's how you learn. We all have those days." He has always been an uberpicky eater, and now that he's cooking and realising how much creativity and sweat goes into a good dish, he is way more open to new things.

Hub is typically verbally enthused about everything, to ridiculous degree: if he doesn't have to cook it, it's wonderful! the only way I actually know if it was 'good' or just 'delightfully other-prepared' is to count helpings. ;D
