• Pat Flood (@rebarcock) passed away 9/21/25. Pat played a huge role in encouraging the devolopmemt of this site and donated the very first dollar to get it started. Check the thread at the top of the board for the obituary and please feel free to pay your respects there. I am going to get all the content from that thread over to his family so they can see how many people really cared for Pat outside of what they ever knew. Pat loved to tell stories and always wanted everyone else to tell stories. I think a great way we can honor Pat is to tell a story in his thread (also pinned at the top of the board).

Lettuce discuss men that 'enjoy' preparing food

Because my husband is a man who can cook. I'm blessed and, frankly, it's sexy.

I'm a good cook (no humble brag. I am) He's on another level.
I cook to maintain a budget. Feeding a family of six gets expensive if you don’t have a plan and just eat out/order food all the time.
Truth.

And my husband loves and prides himself on his culinary skills. I'm "lucky" if he lets me assist. And the man can flat out cook.

No, he doesn't do the everyday dinner. But Sunday dinner is all him. And our son is now joining in and learning.
 
This too. I usually just eat out twice on weekends.

Grocery bill weekly is usually $30-60 and that's plenty for all the weekday meals

Eating on $30-60 per week, minus 2 meals out, is actually quite impressive...or disgusting if you just eat raman noodles and canned beans for every meal, or something.

Plan accordingly. It's really not that hard.

For example... make a pot roast (brisket, whatever) that you pay upfront but can stretch into 3 meals with simple changes throughout the week. It breaks down.
