Wife Challenges Her Husband To Give Her Cookie-Baking Tradition A Try, He Ends Up Upstaging Her, Family Drama Ensues

Thanks for saying that...! I know it is childish but I'm really proud of the fact that I can do some things "better" than my partner 🙈 we're both into cooking, but baking was depended on "my expertise" for many years. But now he's developed his skills and is getting really good at baking. He lets me do my stuff and praises it and is eager to learn some of my tricks (at least he pretends to do so 😅). Sometimes it isn't about efficiency and cost, it's more about recreateing a beloved memory (doing it, like mum or nanna did it, the ingredients, the setting, the smells... ). Or simply the feeling to be important and to matter... It's an emotional thing which needs to be dealt on an emotional level

Growing up for…improving a recipe? Tf?

I KNEW the author had to be an engineer! He has to give the cookie making back to his wife, she has a fragile ego and can't accept any suggestions from him in regard to her cookie domain. Hubby has to take his brains and enthusiasm and the great group of friends and find another cooking activity. I would suggest BBQ. People could chip in for the cost of the ingredients and hubby could take copious notes about how the meal turned out, for future reference. I think hubby's cooking interest could lead to involvement in community activities, maybe working on a cookbook, we might even see hubby and his friends on a cooking show. Hubby has brains and organizational skills, he and his friends have terrific good energy. But hubby should stay away from cookies. If wife isn't available, maybe she could make the dough, freeze it and let hub just bake and frost cookies, but only in an emergency situation. I luved reading hubby's article.
