I've been watching cooking shows, and they are all saying it would be wonderful to fix a home cook meal for the one you love. Here is my problem, I cook 2 meals everyday for my loved one and I'm sure he would like a break from my cooking and I sure as heck would like a night out and let some one else do the cooking. Anyone else feel the same?

ME! I want to go out to eat, for my birthday,Anniversary and Valentines day..nothing fancy..heck a coney island would work..i just don't want to cook on those days too!

LOL, i said to dh, my neices invited me to a card party on Valentines Day, what do you think> He said 'fine with me, I'm going to a Nascar Party. So much for being worried about hurting his feelings LOL

I will use any excuse not to cook. I like cooking, just don't like thinking of what to make! Going out on Valentines day is out of the question with my hubby. He won't wait for a table for more than 2 minutes! At least he's not picky about what I cook.

Eating in or out isn't important to me. I just want to be eating with someone I love and they love me.

Boy am I ever. The only problem, dear hubby won't set foot in a restaurant anymore. He's gotten sooooo fussy in his old age. Even the foods he used to like are now echhh! I think I'm limited to chicken, chicken, steak, chicken maybe the occasional piece of fish or pork... Salads only with head lettuce no romaine or spinach. You get my drift.

I'm glad my quilting sisters still like to eat out once and a while :thumbup: :thumbup:

I agree Justok. Let someone else do the cooking and clean-up!

I always cook on Valentine's Day. Everyone in the family gets an individual sized heart shaped pizza. It's a tradition from when the kids were little and they won't let me quit.

My husband and I don't really worry about V-day. We have two anniversaries in March (the day we met and our wedding day). Besides we don't need a "card" holiday to know we care for one another.

I feel the same, but we cannot afford it. Hot dogs and beans anyone??

I told dh not only do I want to eat out (OR he can cook ) but that also includes dishes NOT piling up all day waiting to be done by me on Monday........

It doesn't count to have the day "off" if nobody else does anything and it just piles up all day and then there's twice as much to do the next day.

Stepping down off my soapbox now........

We did last night. Last year we ate out maybe twice, both lunchs. We were hungry were recommended a GREAT reasonable restaurant. I took one look as they walked us to the table and my heart sank. This is not a REASONABLE restaurant. At all. The food was so pricy I wanted to go home right then. My husband went with it said its fine. I couldnt relax, so for me.. I would rather have eaten at home. The salad? 8 a plate greens and croutons I let him order one and refused one for me.. hell no. I chose soup not feeling ok ordering anything else. $9 a bowl. My husband had raviollis for $18. I looked at his 7 raviollis and thought.. OMG I know how to make money. The complaining about money aside it was a lovely place, lovely service and the soup was very good. I used to never ever think twice about prices out but we just cant afford splurges like that often. So I had a suprise valentines dinner out that he loved and if I could have gotten into the grove of it would have been a five star experience. And I would NEVER eat out on the set holiday anywhere. Service is horrible those poor guys are running like chickens with their heads cut off and they rush you. Always go before or after but never on. Same as for mothers day.

Why not ask the husbands to cook for the wives?
