[quote=Anonymous]Okay, in an effort to help the OP, let me just say that I am married to a midwestern meat and potatoes kind of man who never learned how to cook.  I LOVE to cook, so I cook our meals.  He does other stuff.  Now, due to his midwestern-ness he isn't much of a talker.  He wouldn't be able to tell you what he wanted to eat, either, and might describe what we'd call "home cooking" as a "home cooked meal."  And he would probably do it after having eaten 20 meals without commenting on them, positive or negative, so I'd have no idea where it was coming from.

So...if there is a remote possibility that this DH is suffering from the same sort of malady my husband suffers from, if OP is so inclined she might ask her husband if certain meals sound good to him: Does meatloaf sound like what you are hankering for?  Roast chicken?  That thing your mom made?

And then, when OP has the time and inclination, make it!  No, she is not some kitchen slave, but when you SAH meals are generally your responsibility, and it seems unfair that the person who SAH has total menu control with no input from the eaters, right?  Like a benevolent dictator, she could consider requests...[/quote]
