Little do they know that my boyfriend is so tired once he gets home that the last thing he wants to do is cook himself dinner. So I started doing it. It was a little intimidating at first but he gets so excited at the idea of someone else cooking for him that I feel pretty comfortable busting out a meal in from of him ;)Serena Hendrixhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15468964113584651028noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3648374498406854611.post-76294011033685787462009-05-24T21:07:23.771-05:002009-05-24T21:07:23.771-05:00Seriously, this was the best!

He rarely cooks for me at home, and it's not even plausible that my chef could cook for me every night. He isn't even home until 10-12pm and even if I did stay up that late for my chef cooked meal..he's too tired after cooking for 200-300 people. <br /><br />2. I can't cook. I manage to feed myself but it's nothing suited for a queen.<br /><br />3. I'm vegetarian. This kills people when they know that I have a chef husband. <br /><br />When I do cook and my chef is around...he's always pained by my lack of knife skills and my famed ability to scorch, burn and char every stainless steel pan we own! <br /><br />What I love most though about people's perception of living with a chef...when I've tried to explain what life is really like with a chef it seems like they don't really want to know the truth (ie..we eat frozen burritos and canned tomato sauce on pasta). I guess the fantasy of eating like a queen with my chef is more important! <br /><br />thanks for the blog!<br /><br />kristenAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3648374498406854611.post-43690327953030521702009-05-22T23:55:25.134-05:002009-05-22T23:55:25.134-05:00SO TRUE!

I can blame it on having kids, but nah, it's a testament to the fact that a.) husband is a DARN good chef, and b.) he's gone 6 nights a week and I usually am too lazy to cook for myself!)<br /><br />And also, I can so relate with the commenters. I actually really enjoy cooking, but I get forced out of the kitchen when my chef has a night off... or I leave of my own volition, because it gets a little exasperating trying to chop veggies with someone peering over your shoulder and offering feedback on my knife skills... or making pained faces. :)<br /><br />Keep up the good work, Hilary!nikhttp://proseandconverse.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3648374498406854611.post-2701515502081838302009-05-22T00:00:00.056-05:002009-05-22T00:00:00.056-05:00LOVE IT!
