Quote: asked how his tuna sandwich was that I had made him for lunch. H said “okay, it was kind of mushy and the bread was soggy. I made it the night before. Dinner the night before wasn’t very good either, hamburgers weren’t cooked all the way through and H ended up tossing his in the garbage. Okay I am not a cook, nor do I play one on TV.
Okay, girlfriend, time for a little Kitchen 101!
First of all - you never make tuna or other soggy sandwiches the night before! (Actually, it's usually best not to make any sandwiches the night before - but, if your schedules require that - try getting some of that inexpensive "disposable" tupperware stuff and putting the tuna in that, then the bread in a baggie - he can then assemble his lunch and it won't be soggy. Also works if you put the tomato in a baggie to be added to a meat sandwich later.)
And, if you're not sure if a burger or chicken breast is cooked through - it's okay to cut into one with a knife and look!
Seems like cooking is something you have a predetermined belief about (" I can't do it") - and maybe you could make it a goal to learn? I can cook okay but got really lazy about it when my kids were little and in their fishsticks and spaghettios stages - now I realize how much it means to my H to come home from a hard day at work to a really nice meal. Get some friends to teach you!
