Tonight we are having Taco Soup! It makes life better having a wife that can cook!

She’s heavy handed on the salt, tho.

She' s half Italian and grew up with a mom that was a great cook. She also went to culinary school and is a trained pastry chef. Between the two of us cooking, we eat pretty well.

Mine is damn good on most dishes & has served us well.in the 30+ years we've been together.
Since I retired, studied & practiced I've challenged her on a few things. It's been touch & go whether she agrees or not, but I fix some things & she is sill the master at others.
She recently told somebody that I'd eat just about anything she put in front of me. That's true due to the fact that anything she puts in front of me is usually very good. And... don't mess with the cook unless you're prepared to take their place.

She’s heavy handed on the salt, tho. At least she isn't a "multi-tasker" when she cooks. The boys and I just came to consider charcoal good for the digestion. But when she pays attention, YES, SHE CAN! My mother was an outstanding cook- nothing too fancy. good sound every day food that was delicious. She had 10 kids to feed. My Dad said she almost killed him the first year they were married, but she was a quick study.

She’s an outstanding cook. Tries lots of different things. She has 100s of cook books and reads them a lot looking for interesting things to cook.

Good deal OP. I’ve only heard of taco soup because a coworker brought it into work once, It’s the bomb! And a long list of ingredients from what I recall.

Mine can. We also have a taco soup that’s good.
She is more creative cooking than I am, but we take turns.
I do all the grilling though!!

My little city mouse couldn’t cook a lick when we got married in ‘09. Worked full time until #2 came along in 2015. Been home with the kids ever since. Started rattling pans in 2016 and could dang near chef at a restaurant at this point. She’s got about 30 meals in the rotation that are dynamite. Bakes a couple loaves of bread a week and this past Christmas added Christollen to her repertoire. Only bad thing is she loves her some Le Creuset to cook in so it’s been a little pricey at times setting her up.
I laugh when the outlaws come to town and wife puts on a feast and the m-in-law pipes up about how much of the wife’s skills come from her and her side. She can barely boil water and her last contribution (2015 or 16) gave everybody food poisoning. I tell her to zip it before someone drops a house on her too. 🧙♀️
