Informally separated from WAW, but DBing my best

[AlwaysTrying]

I'm trying to do a 180 on cooking. My wife always made dinner and I know she thinks that I can't or won't do it. Well, I can and I will, but I stink pretty badly at it.

It's not just making dinner, but making dinner while I try to keep S6 and D3 from killing each other or trashing the house without resorting to TV babysitter.

S6 asked for mac & cheese this morning, but I'm not enthused about that since it was one of my go-to foods all this time I have not known how to cook. Maybe I can find a way to make the mac&cheese, but make it a side.

Maybe I can do something with chicken, broccoli, tomatoes... I want to try stir fry again, but that seems like an odd fit with mac&cheese. I should just go with stir-fry. Kids are not going to be unhappy with that on the table.

And I'll get some respect from the wife. I know the 180s are supposed to be for me, but I'm going to do the things she notices.

One of my GAL activities actually has little appeal to my wife and is not very lifey, so I've been having doubts about it. I have been spending a lot of time working on a facebook game, which means time spent alone on the computer working away. Having the time and energy to do it is a 180. I've toyed with making a game most of my life with lots of starts and halfway done projects. I'm doing this.

When I have something online for other people to play, my W will respect that, but for the time being, producing it is actually isolating me.
