Women; explain please

[Mich the Tester]

If I go to the shops, I take care to buy the best quality meat and veg on offer, often visiting the butcher and the greengrocers to get the best produce that’s in season. Afterwards I’ll stop off at the Wine Merchant to have a chat, taste one or two of his offerings and buy a case or two of something really good. Then I go to the supermarket and buy the cheapest washing powder, washing up liquid and toothpaste on offer. No problems, I’m well fed, clean and don’t have halitosis or brown teeth.

When Mrs Tester visits the shops, she buys the most expensive washing powder, washing up liquid and toothpaste, and then buys cheapo veg and meat from the supermarket with no regard to the seasons or the taste; you know, watery greenhouse tomatoes in March, tasteless imported strawberries in January, and that awful bright red low grade beef they sell. Don’t even start me on some of the plonk she brings home.

No it doesn’t. I do the shopping and cooking once on weekdays and at the weekends. That means we have good food 3 times a week. Add one good restaurant visit and we eat well 4 times a week. That still leaves 3 days a week of trying to digest the woman’s attempts at making Knorr’s prepacked boxes of ingredients.

One good thing about being benched next week; the food will improve.

Bugger that. Listen, I like my tuck and I care about what I eat.

So don't let her cook.

Well, you're married to the women - EDUCATE her. Twice if needs be.

Maggi and Knorr? Sounds like a couple of german hookers.

So what’s the point of expensive brand-name washing powder when it costs twice as much as the cheapo stuff on the bottom shelf? It’s just powdered soap.
