and people wonder why i don’t wish to get married again.
I’m jesting. Marriage is great.
I have things I don’t argue about, but just do it Mr aj’s way. OTOH I have decided to ignore him on the subject of what we need in the kitchen. Right now he thinks we need a new set of pots and pans. But we use our cast iron skillets for almost everything. I spent a few hours researching and none of the sets really meet our needs. Then I asked myself why I am researching when he is the one who thinks we need something different. So I stopped.

Could it be that the reason that the cast iron skillet is used for “almost everything” is that the current set of pots/pans are deficient in some manner?
For example, I’m reluctant to use our aging “non-stick” cookware because the coating is deteriorating.
My best friend’s gonna be a grampa in the fall!!!

I’ve had this same exact thought about a former employer. I know while one person was there, I definitely wouldn’t have been rehired [which is OK, I wouldn’t work under that person again in any circumstance and would tell any employer thinking of hiring that manager the same thing].
It’s why when someone in their HR department tried to get me to apply for an open actuarial position there shortly after I left, I thought about seeing how far I got through the process before that person shut it down.
Wow the quote worked!
We have 3 cast iron skillets of different sizes and almost everything we cook on the stove can be cooked in them. Obviously if we want to cook pasta or steam veggies or melt chocolate we need something different. I have a big pot from an old set that is good for pasta. I have a stainless double boiler set that also has a steamer basket that works for everything else. And we have a few other assorted cooking pans.
Pretty much every set I’ve looked at has 2-3 skillets and I don’t need those.
He wants a matching set. For the odd time, I guess, when he cooks green beans on the stove while making boxed mac & cheese. Oh wait, he does make an awesome chicken pot pie, and he cooks the filling on the stove before adding it to the pie crust and baking. I bought him a beautiful deep dish pie plate for Christmas and he hasn’t made his pie since. That is how often he cooks anything except breakfast. Or maybe he is just rejecting the idea of a pie plate as a Christmas gift.

Heh, hubby used to complain that he didn’t like any of our bowls for having soup. So one Christmas I gave him some soup bowls. He uses them, but doesn’t seem to think much of my calling it a “gift”.

Our bowls are kind of flat on the bottom and not ideal for soup or cereal, which my wife points out often. She is getting some Fiesta soup bowls for her birthday.

Most of the things I say to my dog are questions I already know the answer to.
Or for the grammar snobs, to which I already know the answer.
