Just wondered?

My husband works away during the week and I find it so depressing to come home and have to make dinner for one!!!!! :(

It depends really. Although I love cooking, my enthusiasm wanes when it's just for me.
I try to have something on the evenings he's off so it suits me to eat at lunchtime in work anyway those days.

No I just couldn't be bothered, mind you if H2B is away I normally catch up on beauty appts and meet the girls etc. But if I was home alone I wouldn't cook.




God may have created man before woman, but there is always a rough draft before the masterpiece

No I never cook a dinner for myself if he's not there. just take the lazy way out and get a take-away so thankfully its not very often hes not there or I would be living of take-aways

Always cook a dinner. We only have dinner maybe twice a week together cause of his job and his hours. Often though if i do lasagne or whatever I always make loads extra and freeze it and then i have a portion for dinner whenever i want!!! Wouldn't go hungry me!!! :D

I'd normally just make some pasta or something equally easy. otherwise, I'd use it as an excuse to go to the chipper or the pub with the girls!!!

h2b works at night so i always cook dinner for myself and make some for him too and then if he doesnt eat it i can have it the next day. :D
i love cooking but years of working in hospital has fostered an obsession with doing things from scratch so i'll often be left there making a red wine jus at 11 o'clock when he comes in, and'll have got nothing else done all night!

I wouldn't cook a big meal for myself. We only get to eat together properly at the weekends, during the week, I watch what I eat, but hubby likes substantial meals, so I will cook his dinner, and I will have something lighter (wrap/sandwich or toast) later (8.00-8.30). If he's working late, I will have something ready for him when he comes home (as his canteen isn't the May West :shock: ). He appreciates this, and we really enjoy sitting down at the dining table on weekends, eating something delicious together :D

No, I wouldn't really go all out. Although I would sometimes pick up a ready meal from the local supermarket on the way home.

The thing is that my h2b normally cooks for me during the week so if he's not around to cook for me, by the time I get home it would be quite late in the evening for me to eat. Bowl of cereal I always say!
