I was going to say the exact same thing to you. I can even possibly explain your H's jerky behavior for you. He was angry with himself because he's put up with you not cooking all these years because he's a wimp and now you were showing him that it was something that you always could have done to care for him but chose not to bother until now.

BTW- I have a real life friend who reminds me of you very much. She once asked me for help designing her garden since she didn't have much experience and I was, as you indicated, cheerful and encouraging....LOL.
