Tex-Mex, East Anglian style

At least three days a week, my good wife (who is retired) "forgets" to take anything out of the freezer for dinner. 

 

Results can be .... varied. Yesterday's effort was a "vegetarian chili". This sounds good, but like many things she produces, it was bulked up with coarsely-cut carrot and tinned sweetcorn. 

 

I quite like carrots.... but not like this. She also tends to add far too much liquid, so that many dishes appear swimming in a weak liquor and must be carried with care. 

 

It was hot, and because she left the rice on too long, that at least had some texture. Otherwise it was disgusting. 

 

I've never been able to dissuade her from this sort of thing.

It might be a radical suggestion, but had you thought of taking the hint and cooking the dinner on the three days that she "forgets"?

Best wishes

That's not quite the issue. I do cook sometimes, but neither of us can cook without ingredients.... and I still work full time, after all. 

 

No, we've just had our fortieth anniversary but there are still times when I have no idea what's going on in her head...
