UGH I am so fed up with him! He is the pickiest eater on the face of the planet and I am a new cook, so I am constantly trying to come up with new things I can make that he will like. He "hates" vegetables, especially onions. Except he only thinks he hates onions because I've secretly put them in certain dishes and he never knew it. Anyway, I'm making this awesome stew in the slow cooker today and I stopped home at lunch to make sure there was enough broth in the pot. It smelled SO good in the house and I was really excited that my stew was going well. I said to DH, "Doesnt' this smell good?" and he said, "Actually it makes me want to vomit." I was like WHAT?? He said it smells too oniony (which there is onion soup mix in there, but DH mixes that with sour cream for chip dip and loves it so I didn't think it would be a problem). There are potatoes in the stew and he thought they were large chunks of onion! GRRR now he's going to make a big show of galantly trying it anyway and he's going to "hate it" so there's another recipe down the drain. It makes me so mad!!!! Ok sorry this was so long, I'm pretty peeved about it.
Re: DH is SUCH a butthead
That is really frustrating! Tell dh to suck it up and eat it!
I hate onions too, but cooking with them really adds flavor, so I try to mince them as small as possible and if they are bigger, then I just pick them out. And btw, using the onion soup mix with the stew is the best way to do it! Tell him even if he thinks it smells like onion, it really won't taste like it.
Sorry he's being such a butthead!
