@mik there are SO many dishes that I'd like to try that I avoid. Saucy things, spicy things, etc.

But, they're never going to happen in my house.

Food's gotta be "brown, hot and plentiful."

I share your frustration. The Princess and I are culinary adventurers. Not so much MFR.

[George K]

@mik yeah, but even MFR won't eat turkey tetrazzini...

(she doesn't like "saucy" things)

Come down for a week and we will whip up a spicy food coma.

I make 95% of our meals. But spouse somehow uses 90% of the freezer space.

[jon-nyc]

I make close to 100%. What’s with all these lazy winminz?

There are a couple of foods that only I like, or a subset of the family dislikes so much that they won't eat it.

I think rather than always ending up with the lowest common denominator it is better to offer food alternatives. For instance, my kids hate mushrooms, but I love them. No problem, they'll get peas then.

Unfortunately, between having a 2 year old and our own schedules, I wind up making most of our dinners. Our current favorite is a dish called ToGo…

[Mik]

We like that too. Another fave is DoorDash.

We're so far in the sticks, doordash for us is getting from the store (16 miles way) to home and the freezer before the ice cream melts.
