My wife and I have been married 13 years. I can count on one hand how many times she has “cooked”. I do all the cooking that gets done in my house.

Her problem is being impatient. Her theory is everything cooks faster on high. She thinks chili takes 10 min and I should be able to grill chicken breast in 3 min.

She has the table ready and the kids sitting down and they have started eating before everything is done, so I end up putting stuff on their plate as it cooks. After they get done, I get to set down to eat and she’s ready to get the table cleared and she’s already put everything up before I’m done.

All these years, it hasn’t changed and I don’t guess it ever will.
