<g> You're right about eating what I want. And cooking what I want. My
attitude is that if you don't like what I'm cooking, you're welcome to
cook your own meals.
I rarely cook something different for Rob; i.e., two different meals for
the same sitting. I mostly don't believe in it. I'll cook a couple
things "for him" that I don't especially like (meatloaf comes to mind)
and he can usually find enough to fill his belly based on what's served
-- or more graham crackers after supper. :-) But as a rule, I don't
*think* I "cook something different" for him very often at all. Where
we do eat entirely differently is at lunch. I don't prepare his lunch.
I married him for better or worse but not for lunch. I can "make a
meal" out of lots of stuff that wouldn't do for him. If I croak before
he does he's going to rely on the charity of others for "real" meals.
It's an interesting topic, I think.

I'm much of the same mind when it comes to David. For breakfast we're each
on our own as our workdays dictate very different hours, and the same for
lunch during the week. Weekends, we usually eat breafast out and often
don't eat lunch, but we rarely share the same foods for lunch if we eat at
home. Dinner is anothe matter. I almost never cook different meats for
us, but sides are almost always different. David will only eat peas,
carrots, corn, and potatoes, and actually prefers that the peas and carrots
are canned. He also doesn't eat salads. Needless to say, I would probably
curl up and die if I were restricted to those choices. Since his choices
are easily heated or cooked, I will do that at the same time as preparing
the variety of things I like. He wouldn't complain about having to prepare
his own, but since I'm already in the kitchen and his choices are low
effort, I don't really mind.
