6 grilled New York Strips, 5 Baked potato's

UGGHHH!!! My family has ticked me off!

All I heard since breakfast is can we grill steaks for supper? So, I get them, marinate them all day, start grilling them, baked potato's, fixed everyones salad just as they like it......Half way before the steaks are done, the kids leave and go to granny's, Hubby yells at me, it's too hot to eat...WTF!

So, here I sit with 6 marinated and perfectly grilled New York Strips, 5 baked potatos and 5 toss salads......I sit here alone watching a re-run of Murder she wrote and eating my dinner....


I am so ill! I wish some of you could come over and dine with me

Okay, sorry, just wanted to vent.

Wow! My sig says my kids are 12.5, 9 & 4.5... that's how long it's been since I've posted here. My kids are now 15.5, 12, and 7.5. Guess it's time to change my sig.

It would be a really really LONG time before I would cook for that bunch again!! How thoughtless of them. If I grilled steaks for my husband and boys, they'd come running! If I were you, I'd wrap up the steaks and baked potatoes and set them aside and YOU eat every one of them this week. (While they're eating whatever they can find for themselves)!!!

To me, that is total disrespect to you. And I'd be having quite the talk with DH too.

ITA. I say no cooking for at least a week. If you want, eat steak for the next 5 nights. How about fajitas for one one night, beef stroganoff for one, one night, Nice steak sandwich one night, etc. etc. When you get tired of steak, go out for dinner or have take-in FOR ONE....until the week has passed. Be sure you remind the family just why this short-order cook kitchen is shut down for a week. Kids, depending on their ages, might have a bit of an excuse, but Hubby definitely does not!!!

My own thoughts and words! If you think it was hot outside while you're under the shade tree, how the heck you think I felt standing in the sun over a hot charcoal grill!!!!!! UGGHHH!!!!

And I wish you were too. That would be awesome and would've made me feel better!

It's Sunday, and I am still fuming!!!!!

I think I would be fuming for days........I hope you were at least able to enjoy your steak! It certainly would be no cooking for me for the week, and if they get hungry I would direct them to the kitchen and tell them to help themselves, Mom's busy

If my dh yelled at me "It's too hot to eat. " The next day I would cook dinner & eat mine ....place his plate in the freezer & wait.....When he ask whens dinner? I would go get his dinner & hand it to him. When he ask whats this ?..... It's your dinner....It's was too hot so I wanted to cool it down for you!!!

As far as the kiddies I would ask... Are you staying for dinner? If they are not there ....place their food in the fridge ..Make their favorite dish the next day and tell them .......their dinner is the fridge they need to go heat it up!

that is frustrating! I was feeling a bit of it tonight as well-we just did burgers on the grill, pasta salad, and watermelon, but it was a lot of prep for our family sitting together at the table for ten mins. I guess I should be glad that they ate, but still....

psss.....I did buy the fixins' for S'mores today, I could bring dessert!!!

Thumbs down Update

Sorry that it took me so long to get back to the post...I been busy eating steak! Just kiddin, well not really

Okay, late Saturday night, my husband comes in and says, "I am hungry" I shot him a look that should've dropped him to the floor ! I didn't respond with a word! Nor did he get anything to eat!

I stayed up that night watching movies and enjoying myself. Well, Sunday morning rolls around and everyone is searching for breakfast. After I decide that I am hungry, I walk right through the kitchen in the middle of everyone and get out the steak. I fix me a big ole plate, warm it up and back to the couch with the remote control in my other hand! (Now, this is something that I never do, eat in the living room, nor get control of the remote) You would have thought they were gonna ship me off to the looney bin! Hubby kept saying what are you doing? have you lost your mind completely? I didn't say a word, I just took a bite of MY steak and grinned. He got ill and went to town and get his own breakfast .

The day goes on and I start to not feel well, pms I guess. Anyway, I took some aleve and laid on the couch watching TV trying to get the cramps to subside. What does my husband do??? Comes in and tells me that I have did nothing but lay my a$$ on the couch for two days! WTF??? The only thing I was able to say at this moment was, that's not true, yesterday, I spent the day cooking for a family that wouldn't eat because they had other plans! I then roll over on the couch and continue watching my movie.

So, today is another new day and I am madder than ever! I mean mad doesn't describe how I feel today! What is wrong wif this man!

AND by the way, I had steak for breakfast, lunch, and supper. I am so glad he is at work today, because I don't think I could eat another steak and since he's not here, he will not be the wiser, lol.
