Dagmar, to me it is strange that your husband would plate your food, I'm sure he's trying to be considerate, but no one has plated my food since I was about 3
The only things I cook for my husband are fresh vegetables. I'll batch steam things like green beans, broccoli, etc and keep them in the fridge. He's free to eat them or not, although I remind him often. Our diets are very different. His is very bread and cheese heavy, while mine has a lot more vegetables and huge salads. We both like unhealthy snacks, but after my bout with upper GI pain, we don't have cookies and chocolate candy in the snack box. Also, he eats on the traditional three meal a day schedule, while I eat several small meals at very odd times.
I'm reading that your weather is still very cold, Dagmar and Bill. Spring should be there soon!
despite DH's giving me large portions of dinner all week. I dare not criticize his cooking - I want him to do the alternate weeks - but I really want to plate my own food and have repeatedly said so. I guess I'll just have to eat as much as I think is a portion and then leave the rest. He will not like that either - he wants an excuse to stop cooking now that he's seen what it takes to do so for entire weeks at a time. I will prevail.
