A View thru Cheft's Window #4
Posted 05-19-2009 at 08:18 PM by ibcheft
My latest try was Cuban sandwiches. After seeing the article on them, I remembered how good they were, I had one in Florida when we were at Disney World. So with recipe in hand, I started gathering ingredients. Went to our local store to the deli, picked out my ham, got the baby Swiss cheese, then started looking for some roast pork, well they did not have any, nor was there any even in the process quick package meats, guess I will make my own, but made another stop, still no pork at this deli, wonder why ? Does your deli have roast pork; well they had a gourmet food counter that sold prepared products. I asked them do you make a Cuban and what do you put on yours, well she said yes would you like to make you one, I answer no, but what ingredients do you use, roast pork, ham, I stopped her right there where do you get your roast pork, well ours came in yesterday for central, then I ask well do you sell it? She said for you I will, nice of her. So why do Deli's not have it?
Now the next step, making the sandwiches, and guess what I found out my wife does not like mixed meats on her sandwiches, bluntly told me so, she said I like ham and cheese, but do not put any roast pork on it, I will not eat it. Her son goes have you ever tried it ? she said in no less terms I DO NOT LIKE IT!! AND NO I NEVER TRIED IT, I sat in the back ground going under my breath, son just drop it. I tell you after cooking all these years, and now all of a sudden all these rules start coming out, of course I would always ask her what she wanted well after getting the same old stuff, I decided it was time for a change, well, for her change did not work. Even after trying to fix stuff she said looked good on TV, she would not eat, take like Bobbi's goulash from Paula Dean, we were watching it, and so I fixed it. She said it was okay. I also found out now she says she does not like tomatos and macaroni. I just looked at her and shook my head, whispered what is your spaghetti??
When I started fixing new dishes it was because she complained she was tired of the same ole stuff, Some times I wonder if I am becoming same ole stuff, but that is another story. So now it has gotten to the point, where I am back to asking, and if I get a reply, we are doing well but generally it is I will eat later, that mean twice I have to clean the kitchen. Then some days I just fixed the meal if she eats, good, if not that’s alright and I know that sounds mean, self centered and just alright unsocial, but what’s a chef to do?

Hey, I know this is an old post, but I'm just reading it now. I'm sorry your wife is so picky about food! Must drive you crazy. What would happen if you told her to fix her own food? What would she make?Posted 06-08-2009 at 10:16 AM by oriolefan

She would eat a ton of junk food, and for her health it will kill her. So in a round about way, I am trying to get her to eat healthy. We both need to lose weight, but you still need some spice in your life. Healthy can be real bland if you let it, or it can be real spicy if you cook that way. OH well will keep working at it and writing the story.Posted 06-15-2009 at 08:35 AM by ibcheft
