I let my wife pick dinner again. I offered her oven fries but she opted for instant mashed potatoes with instant chicken gravy. She regrets that decision. But it was tasty.

Beef was free. Cost per person: $1.30 Cost if you have to buy the beef: $3.55

Bonus pic. Worst miss en place ever is in the comments.

I need to stop asking what they want. Roast me in the comments.

    Oh, I get this.

    My wife quite likes pasta with just some basil pesto stirred through it. Pasta from a packet and pesto from a jar. I once hand-made some pasta and made pesto from scratch. Her reaction: “It’s ok, but I prefer the normal version.” She generally prefers meals from her childhood to be the simple nostalgia version rather than my “zhuzhed up” version. Which makes sense, I suppose.
