That's about what we do. But there's so few things either of us
dislike it's not really an issue. I don't like squash so she'll make
it for herself but not often. She doesn't like liver. She's out of
town so for lunch today I made mashed spuds with liver and onions.
She won't even have to smell it. Works for us.

Respect for each others taste is always a good thing. :-)

I cook for dad as his cooking skills suck, and he knows it.
I can cook something he likes that I don't care for far better than he
can...

I'd wager it's because you are a sweetie and not just because he's

There are not many things that my wife loves and I hate, or vice versa.
We like a lot of the same things and have some things that we eat less
often. However, she likes liver and I just can't get into that. She
hates beets and I don't mind them. Sometimes when we go out for a meal
she will have liver and I have a bowl of Borscht.

I've never been with anyone who liked liver so since I've left the
nest I've only had it in restaurants. Yesterday was the first time
I've ever made it. We spoke in the phone last night and I mentioned
how much I enjoyed it. She said she could deal with the smell and I
should make it for myself more often. But IMO there's too many things
we enjoy together for me to make 2 main dishes. Her making squash as
a side is a different story. I often cook on a large griddle that
covers two burners. I could pull off two different dishes on it but
then you've got the leftover issue. There's a few things I'll cook
with the intention of having leftovers but for the most part I try to
avoid them.

The problem with liver is the smell. Well, the taste, too, but if you're
not going to eat it, that's no problem. I really don't want to be
around that. You always knew when it was liver and onions day
in the cafeteria at work, it would hit you before you even walked
into the building. Nothing else on the menu travelled that far through
the exhaust fans.

So I think it's very sweet that you make it when she's not around.
She has a lovely name but it's not coming to me right now. (laugh)

I can't picture making liver for anyone as I can't stand it. How would
I know when it was good. Fuggedaboutit.

But making squash for someone, it's harmless enough, I can't picture
anyone would object to that even if they don't eat it.

It is pretty pungent.

>So I think it's very sweet that you make it when she's not around.

She said she could deal with the smell but I see no need to make her
do it. When she does her hair the smell makes me want to gag so she
usually does it when I'm not home. Common courtesy goes a long way in
a relationship.

>She has a lovely name but it's not coming to me right now. (laugh)

I don't object. It's just never been an issue. I'd have to google or
ask here to even know how to prepare it. Louise loves pumpkin too and
I don't care for it. Every fall she gets a few and I'll help clean
them but there's no way I'll eat pumpkin pie. But she has been making
pumpkin rolls the last few years that are pretty good with ice cream.
That's about as close as I'll come to that stuff.

Liver: The girls loves it and, well, it's not for me. I'll cook it
because I do a great job. SWMBO's made adjustments for me and my three
foods (avocados, walnuts, and liver) to her diet and recipes so this
is a no-brainer concession on my part.

I know: I'm a saint for such.

i might think you're a nut sometimes, but when i get to dodderin', it would
be nice to have someone like you to cook for me.

and you don't bitch about it, either, which speaks in your favor.

well, since you don't like squash to begin with i guess it doesn't matter,
but leftover grilled squash isn't bad at all at room temp. has your wife
tried that?

Gods I love grilled squash... It's a recent thing with me and I'm doing
that more than steaming it now. It's easier to control the level of
done-ness that way without cooking it to mush.

This weekends steamed pattypan came out ok tho'.
It was a real treat as I cannot purchase it around here! I got it from
a co-worker.

I might even offer to pay him for more. <g>

My husband does not care for liver, beets, carrots or potatoes, unless
they are french fries. I will eat anything, but my least favorite foods
are asparagus <okay, stop gasping>, beets and green lima beans.

About 90 percent of what I cook is what the Maternal Unit likes to eat,
rather than what I would eat on my own. She even gets asparagus and
Brussels sprouts cooked for her, both of which are disgusting to me
Every once in a while she does get something new tried on her, such as
potstickers and char siu bao, both of which she now likes. Small steps
LOL.

I dunno what she's tried. It's really a non-issue. When shopping I
would never buy squash and she would never buy liver.

But now you! and others, and this thread have me thinking. Maybe it
has something to do with the preparation. Maybe I'm selfish...I
dunno. I won't eat turkey lunch-meat but when I shop I always get
some for her. I prefer sliced cheddar, mozzarella or provolone, but I
always get American for her. I don't drink more than a glass of milk
a week and only because it's here. But I buy it because she loves it
and drinks a lot. It does come in handy for cooking. When I lived
alone I'd buy some for cooking and have to toss whatever was left in a
few days. I like bagels even though I've never had the real NY deal.
But If I was alone I don't think I'd buy them. But there's always
some in the fridge.

What I forgot about in my other post was Hawaiian pizza. I take a
bite and enjoy it but then I'm done. I don't bother with the bite
anymore. But I do make it. Louise has tried but she ask's me to do
the pizza so I do.

The list of what I get in return would dwarf "my" words.

For a twist - When we met, tinned sardines, oysters, blue cheese etc.
were my thing and I got them. Now Louise makes sure we have plenty on
hand because she now loves and requests them. Especially blue cheese.
When we're in the store and she finds a blue deal I have to hold her
hands because she touches herself. A weird thing but she got grossed
out as a kid but she was curious and loves that stuff now. So far
I've not been able to do that with squash.

But I'm keeping my mind open.

Oh! Cathy. Thanks for the survey. It made me think and that's why I
read here. Sorry to bury my thanks at the bottom of a post but I'm
hiding from shemp. I've been dreaming about his mama and I need to
detach from him.

Couldn't get her to try the Thai green curry paste the other night
though :P
She didn't like the deep-fried tofu (aburage) either. Gradually coming
around to very mild north Indian-type curries...

Hated them both as a kid but had to eat them anyway Both vegs were
family favourites in season, so appeared on the table frequently.

I'm not much of a curry fan any more. Funny, I had developed a taste for
"hot" foods for awhile, but lost it recently. I no longer care for the
burning sensation on my tongue.

I dunno about sweet, but it's impossible to not treat her the best I
can. And that includes cooking for her. Maybe I'll try making squash
for her sometime. (or not) I've been posting more the last few days
because she's in Florida. I can't wait to pick her up tomorrow from
the airport.

There are zillions of curries that don't burn at all. That's why I get
her to try North Indian ones; chile isn't the major ingredient by any
means.

I have an ancient can of "Farmers Brothers" curry that is umteeumpt
years old left over from mom's spice collection. It is well sealed in
the metal canister with a metal lid.

I use a bit of it from time to time and the flavor is pleasant, not hot.

Curry is a relative term. I realize that.
It's a spice mix, not a single spice per se', but I used to have a
lovely little plant in my herb garden called "curry", and it did indeed
smell and taste a bit like the herb mix. ;-)

I hope to find another one someday. I need to totally re-vamp my herb
garden.

Used to get a wider variety of curry powders and pastes from several
countries in London but most of them aren't sold locally. Often just
make my own anyway. The Thai curry pastes are available so those get
bought; too much work to grind up all that stuff LOL.

Curry leaves: Murraya koenigii. Can often be bought frozen if there is
an Asian shop near you. Haven't used them in years though.

Good luck. Don't think we've seen plants sold here.

It was probably a lucky find and I wish I could have kept it alive.
We have a couple of good nurserys in the area that carry a variety of
herbs, but it varies from spring to spring.
