Why does my husband call me to ask what's for supper?

[Shell Beau]

It is just past noon, I don't have a clue what I'm eating for supper!!!

[kick-ass-bob]

1. I dunno, but

you better damn well have it on the table when he gets there!!!!!





:hide:

[Shell Beau]

3. Haha!!

Damn straight! Yeah right!

[Texasgal]

2. Men, Men, Men

*shakes head*

If they don't have a schedule, they wouldn't know what to do!! :P

[Shell Beau]

4. It's all about food!

[kick-ass-bob]

6. No it's not. (edited)

There is something else....

:evilgrin:

And you better damn well let him have that whenever he wants too!!!

[Shell Beau]

And food comes second!

[Shell Beau]

10. He gets it when I say so! That is how it works in my household!

:o

[kick-ass-bob]

5. What am I supposed to be doing now?

[jobycom]

7. I don't know, but my wife used to do that to me all the time.

I told her I'd figure out what it was when I made it!

[Shell Beau]

8. So you cook the supper? I wish my husband did too!

He's in charge of the grill!

[jobycom]

21. Had to. For the safety of all involved.

Didn't want her preparing food OR playing with the stove. She makes a heck of a lot more money than me, so it seemed fair.

Since we've separated, she's eaten out almost every night, except when she opens cans of soup or eats dry cereal (according to my oldest daughter, who has gained considerable weight). The couple of times I've viewed her pantry since I moved out, it has had the basic selections of a vending machine.

She can make money, but she can't cook!

[Rowdyboy]

9. Its something to look forward to.....

Like I'm already anticipating firing up the grill tonight as I sit here eating a slice of ham and asparagus quiche. Good as it is, it can't compete with tequila-lime chicken, grilled acorn squash and pineapple.

What can I say? Men are men..... :shrug:

[Shell Beau]

11. Well I don't cook on Friday's! We either go out to eat, or he

will grill something, so maybe I should call him back and ask HIM what's for supper! :P

[WolverineDG]

48. call him back

and tell him you're making reservations. ;)

dg

[azmouse]

13. That sounds delicious!

What time is dinner? LOL

[Rowdyboy]

29. 8ish......

Come early and we'll do it right. We'll even get the guest room ready!

I've never grilled acorn squash before but how can you screw up with a grill, olive oil, and rosemary.

[Patiod]

12. Maybe he doesn't want to have the same thing for lunch

My SO is unemployed right now, so he's been handling dinner duties. He'll call and ask what I want, and I'll say "anything but X (whatever i had for lunch)."

[Shell Beau]

14. That sounds nice!! Maybe I'll tell my husband to start calling

me and asking what I want for supper!! :P

[XNASA]

15. Maybe it's some kind of code?

:shrug:

[Shell Beau]

17. My brain hurts already; I don't want to interperet a code!

:silly:

[azmouse]

16. I tell hubby the dinner menu before he leaves for work.

But he still calls me around noon just to talk for a few minutes. In fact, I'm waiting for the phone
to ring any minute now!

[SOteric]

18. Probably because

he feels a need to connect and isn't creative enough to come up with anything else to say.

[DS1]

19. No, it's to decide whether he needs to go out to the local Hooters

and get a real meal for a change



:hide:

[Shell Beau]

24. I'll have you know that I am a DAMN good cook!

:P

[DS1]

26. Yes, but do you wear hot pants and a short white shirt while

delivering the dinner?

It's all about delivery.

[Shell Beau]

32. The delivery is right on!!

Similar to that and might I add, I look like that in them too! :rofl:

[DS1]

33. Make it a surprise

change in the kitchen :D

[SOteric]

27. Don't let it bother you, DS1

is a damned big perv. .

(Which is pretty much just how I like him.)

[Shell Beau]

31. The pervy-er the better!

:7

[SOteric]

35. Yes,

I'm a lucky woman. :7

[Shell Beau]

36. As am I!!

:P

We're lucky!

[DS1]

53. heh

wait till you open that message in your Inbox




:D

20. Two reasons:

A) He's used to having _you_ do the menu planning and cooking; or
B) He can't decide what _he's_ cooking for supper. (A list, taped to the front of the regrigerator, of all "ingredients" available in the household has been helpful for Call Me Wesley. It also serves as a reminder that I'm not the only member of the household with 1) a full-time career; 2) the ability to plan a meal.)

[uppityperson]

22. It's a way of checking in to say"hi, I'm looking forward to dinner with u"

Better than heading off mad and not wanting to come home. I live with a chronically depressed passive agressive person who is pissed at not being able to control the world. At times. Oh well. Have a good dinner together.

[Shell Beau]

25. Aw thanks!! And he is a sweetie, maybe he just wanted to hear my voice!

:)

[MsAnthropy]

23. He misses you! That is sooo sweet.

[newportdadde]

28. I'm guilty of asking that just past noon.

Here is the deal, your husband knows that from this point in his day to when he falls asleep at night, dinner is about the most fun he has too look forward to.

[Shell Beau]

30. Hey now!! That isn't the best part he has to look forward to I tell ya!

:evilgrin:

[newportdadde]

41. Depends on how good the dinner is...

;)

[RandomKoolzip]

34. Sexism?

:shrug:

[MissMillie]

37. Maybe he's giving you the chance to ask him

what he'd like to have for dinner....

or maybe he's thinking of taking you out, but he wants to make sure you're not planning something nice at home.

[MrScorpio]

38. Just say food

As if he's going to be eating something else.





Unless... Uh wait..., no I don't think that I will

[ScreamingMeemie]

39. Because he LOVES you and misses the sound of your voice and

can't think of anything else to say??? At least that's what I tell myself when MrG does that. :hi:

[Shell Beau]

40. Hehehe!! I think that's it too!!

:7 :hi:

[GOPisEvil]

42. Why does he tell you what HE is cooking for supper!

Hmmmmmmm?! :D

[LSK]

43. 42 posts and you still havnt told us whats for dinner

I think you are avoiding the question! :P

[Shell Beau]

45. I did mention that I don't cook on Friday's!!

:) So either he is grilling or we are going out for dinner!! :9

[hedgehog]

44. 'cause Joey asked him if he wants to eat at his house tonight

and Joey's mom is making fish sticks and he wants to know what's cooking at home in case it's better.

[hedgehog]

46. Seriously, some people just like to know.

One of my kids is always asking me, and I can't answer because the stuff I cook doesn't have a name. I tell her we're having chicken glorp, or that glorp with biscuits. Then she wants to know what we're having with the glorp! I really make it up as I go along depending on what I feel like.

[xchrom]

47. thinking about a better offer?

[Metta]

49. The call is a metaphor

for connecting with you around feeding the relationship. Everything between couples is that in some way or the other, more or less, as a rule, usually. Or so it seems. :hi:

[gollygee]

50. The same reason I always call to ask what my husband wants for dinner

?

I call every day and ask either what he wants for dinner or if what I have planned sounds OK. He always tells me he doesn't care so long as he has something to eat. Still, I call every day. I'm not sure why. I think it's just an excuse to call.

[Taverner]

51. You're eating curds and whey

Tell him that. Say it with a very serious inflection on the word "whey"

[Crazy Dave]

52. Say: "Whatever you bring home with you"

Chinese, Fast-food, Pizza
