I don't cook in the summer, PERIOD. I will microwave and I will make sandwiches, but I go no where near the stove.
In the fall and winter, I cook a lot. On a Sunday, I will usually make a soup, bread and a pie. I like to freeze the soup for those days I don't feel like making anything. I LOVE to cook, just not in the summer.
So, the weather here has started getting cooler, and I dusted off the pots and pans.
The other day I made stuffed chicken breasts and acorn squash. It was nothing special, honest.
Well, you would have thought that Matt was starving for 3 months and I just handed him a cracker!!!
After I served it, I went back into the kitchen to get something and when I came back, HE WAS TAKING A PICTURE OF HIS PLATE WITH THE DIGITAL CAMERA!!!!!
Here's how the conversation went;
Me: "What are you doing?"
Matt: "I'm taking a picture of my dinner."
Me: "Why?"
Matt: "Because it is the best thing I ever ate and I want to remember, just in case you stop cooking again."
Me: "Give me the camera."
Matt: "Why?"
Me: "Because I'm going to stick it down my shirt and take a picture, that's something you are going to have to try to remember if you don't stop dogging me about not cooking!"
Matt (with mouth full): "mff....um"
Me: "What?"
Matt: "That's ok, just keep cooking."
Me: "Smartass!"
It is nice to be appreciated, but it won't last long. Maybe I'll give up other things for a while, how about bathing or shaving my legs? I bet I will be greatly appreciated when I go back to one of those after a hiatus. (Probably from my husband as well as a bunch of other people.)

Acorn squash...mmmmm I read your post aloud to my hubby and he was all like "that sounds good" so do share the recipe :)
I have very fortunate that I can't cook and my hubby loves to cook and he is awesome...so I don't cook unles its kraft mac and cheese or hot dogs in the microwave LOL
Stuffed Chicken breasts and acorn squash could not be easier.
prepare pepperidge farm stuffing (it's just what I prefer) and add a can of mushrooms. Cut a slit into side of chicken breasts and stuff. Salt and pepper and add some pads of butter to the top and bake 375 for 45-60 min.
Acorn squash:
Cut squash in half and hollow out. Put on baking sheet upside down and bake at 375 until soft (about 35-45 min) let cool a little and remove out skin. Smash in a baking dish with butter and brown sugar. You can put it back in the oven to heat up if needed.
I also make a gravy by making a can of cream of mushroom soup and add the dripping from the chicken.
Voila!!! (I know it's a lot of butter, but I'm a midwest girl! I'm sure you can cut it but I never understood that concept.)
Enjoy!!
Yum yum sounds good! Seeing as I take food tech for GCSE, I'm forced into cooking (and urgh-writing about it) all year round.
It meas we get to eat yummy food though!
LOL too funny! I don't cook, never have--thankfully, I found someone who enjoys cooking--and cleaning.
Do not send the hit squad out for me. He does have faults!
