ORIGINAL: AquaticSub If he wants me to make twice-baked chedder potatoes for his office potluck, I'd like some notice. Not like that one time when I was miserably sick and whiping them up at the last minute, scooping the insides out of the halves out at about 11 PM. Or if he wants me to make bread, I need some notice as the recipe he likes takes a long time to raise and bake. You make a great point. This morning the Man told me he wants chicken cacciatore this weekend. He asked, "Have you made this before?" I said nope, and he said "Well now you have some time to figure it out." Had he just said "Make me some chicken cacciatore" out of the blue, right when he wanted it, he'd have had to wait until I figured it out and went to the store to get everything we need. And, his daughter is with him this weekend and she's vegan, so this means I'm planning a separate pot of pasta with marinara for her. Turns out, it's an easy meal and I pretty much keep everything it requires in the kitchen anyway. So he wouldn't have had to wait very long after all, lol.
