What is one thing you never did before meeting DH?
Me - roast a Chicken.
I was thinking about this as I was putting together the bird that we are going to have for dinner tonight. Before meeting DH I had never cooked a whole chicken (game hen, or turkey), but I remember trying to cook one AFTER I met him, and it wasn't the greatest thing I have ever cooked. I learned a lot from DH, about how to roast a chicken.

Eat Indian food. It took him 8 years to wear me down, but I'm finally addicted to it.
Close second - go to Bumbershoot

Used dish towels as napkins. I used to be a stictly paper napkin girl. Now we have drawers full of dish towel "napkins."
It's terribly green of us!

LOVE Indian food, and never had a chance to eat it until I moved here 5 years ago. We have the best little indian restaurant just down the road from us.
Just wait until you are pg, the baby will love it too! Josephine sure did.
I sure hope so. I love me some chicken tikka, basmati rice and naan. Mmm...carb loaded...

went Jeeping or to the gun range.
Food related: I never used salt or real butter.
This thread isn't what I expected from the subject. I thought I'd read things like "be in a threesome" or something.
My answer: Eat Thai food. It's DH's favorite! I think it's just ok.

I'd never made a pie crust from scratch. ?Pie is his favorite dessert, so I really had to learn.
I'd also never taken a an extended road trip on my motorcycle. ?DH and I got engaged on our first bike trip, and I got PG with Evie on our second trip.
I had never been to New York before meeting DH.
Have any desire what so ever to travel to Wisconsin. DH is from there and still has relatives there.
So many things!
LOVE SUSHI now, say Bless You when someone sneezes, have a kinder heart towards life in general, be more open to food (he is a certified chef) and lastly... anal.
KNemo - you know they make cloth napkins right??? you don't need to use dish towels!
OK.. let's see. Well I had never gotten married.
Or gone anywhere with the blue blue water - we went to Tahiti for our honeymoon. Or gone to Australia (also honeymoon).
But more DH related, I had never snowmobiled, and I did it when we were dating once, and will never do that again. Way too scary.
Oh and I had never been to Vegas before. And I thought I'd hate it but it's so fun!
I've never roasted a chicken - why bother when they're $5 at Costco?
But I have made turkeys.
LOL!
Hmmm... mine would be - rode on a jetski, parasailed, really knew anything about cooking, bought a house & a restaurant, and got married & pregnant. ?:)?

Well, whole Chickens on sale run around $3.00, and always less then $5.00. The last one I got from Costco was really salty for my taste, so I will stick to roasting them myself.
They do??
It's a family thing. I thought it was the weirdest thing I ever saw, the first time I had dinner at my future IL's house. Now it's also our quirky habit!

Go to a bar.
But sometimes that's where the best music is, and now that there's no smoking, I can rock out (well at least before the kiddo came along...but I shall rock again, oh yes, I shall rock again).

I rub it all over with Olive Oil, salt it with Johnny's and then roast it at 325 for 30 minutes breast up, then 30 minutes breast down. I let it rest for another 10 minutes.
I stock up on whole chickens when they are on sale, Safeway had them for .40 cents a pound a little while ago.
Learning how to cut up a whole chicken is a very useful, even when you aren't roasting it.
Betty Crocker has all the time tables. But usually I molest the turkey with Olive Oil and Gralic Cloves, the salt and pepper. Roast at 350 degrees until you can pull a leg off (that is the way DH taught me). Usually it takes 2 hours, or more depending on the size of the chicken. Sometimes I baste (sp?) with wine, Apple wine is especially yummy!
It usually takes me 10 minutes of prep and then I just let it cook until done.
2 hours for a chicken???? I do turkeys in 2-3 hours by roasting them in oen of those roasting bags. I'm back to Costco for my chicken.
And KNemo - we've always used cloth napkins, and Dh always used paper towels or paper napkins. It's taken me a while to get him to come around, but now he's in the habit too.
