If you puree kale, bean sprouts and tofu, it makes a great dip for doritos.*
Compromise. It's all about compromise.
*I've never actually tried it, but it probably looks a little like guacamole, or spinach dip.0 -
did you just steal my NO?NO
edit: crap that's not the right one
Ju.. just? Bark? Bark up! Just bark up! Yes.

No really, all the foodz are in there.
And while you're there, make me a sammich!0 -
I think for desert you should make your lucky man some nice dinner rolls topped with icing.0

^yes! And if you sprinkle nutritional yeast on top it adds a nice cheesy flavour:)0 -

Probably those nasty cauliflower and zucchini cupcakes with avocado icing. I'd be running for the hills too lol0 -
Just save the leftovers for lunch the next day. Freeze it if you need to wait a bit longer.
It's not a big deal... You should be happy for him that he knows when he's had too much and should reign himself in. Otherwise, isn't he going to gain weight and be unhappy? Isn't that exactly what you're trying to do?
When it comes to weight loss/maintenance, both partners need to be supportive. I don't really think he was rude. He said "sorry" and let you know ahead of time so you could adjust the portions you make.0 -
... I would've indulged during lunch too if I had to come home to kale/tofu. LOL0

This is how I deal with my man when he might not want to eat what I'm cooking
Cleans his plate every time...0 -

OH YES! I buy it in bulk!
Who needs cheese when you have nutritional yeast?0 -
Uh. He's not being inconsiderate. He's actually being considerate.
I see this marriage over before it even begins. Hon, let him be who he is. If he doesn't want tofu, don't ask him to eat it.0 -
Learn to pick your battles.0

:noway: :huh: Does not compute
Can you not eat dinner without him? How does this affect your dinner eating in any way?0 -
I am divorcing my disrespectful dead weight! It sure the hell wasn't over his love of ribs, and Doritos! or lack of consumption of kale (which he loved. the only healthy thing he loved)
I was b/c the verbal attacks where unacceptable, and he had no desire to work on them.
Let me give you some advice......... PICK AND CHOOSE YOUR BATTLES WISELY!! this is not one of them.
He doesn't eat what you cook.........then he cooks his own food, or he doesn't eat!0 -
honey, I really have doubts over the marriage working if you are getting this worked up over him missing dinner one night..yikes..
eat your kale and tofu..and be happy...0 -
I think you should call it off
Yup. Get out now while you still can.0 -
Bump that noise. It's time to start screaming.0
-
bourbon
Rum, vodka or wine would also be acceptable answers.0 -
Withhold sex.0

yes, because treating your husband like your three year old child makes for long happy relationships..0 -
TOFU AND SPROUTS SOUNDS DELISH said no straight man ever0
-
What a miserable creep. Can't appreciate you slaving over a hot stove making delicious yummy kale and tofu.
Be gone with that fool!0 -
If you want your relationship to last the distance, pick your battles. This isn't one! He let you know in advance he wouldn't be hungry so actually, I think that's considerate. Eat it and save the leftovers for tomorrow. No biggie. Not worth getting upset about! Life is too short for that nonsense.
Plus, you can't force your healthy habits on him.0 -
I wonder if on a parallel board there is another thread with the same title with a guy complaining about his girlfriend feeding him saute Kale and how inconsiderate she is not letting him eat Doritos and ribs0

Tofu and bean sprouts? Are you trying to kill him?
It is very kind that you took the time to make a nice dinner. And that you were excited about seeing him after work. Did he know it was tofu and bean sprouts ahead of time? Because on behalf of men everywhere, I'm guessing that would have gone differently if steak was involved.
But seriously... you'll work that stuff out it's just communication. You either be sure to tell him "I'm making a special dinner tonight, please don't pig out at lunch" or he'll figure to check in if he's deciding to pig out at lunch to make sure he isn't stepping on your plans. Or you will learn he hates tofu and will keep coming up with excuses to avoid it. lol0 -
I would. But I would NEVER Expect my husband to. Nope. Not happening lolMy husband does this all the time and it doesn't bother me. Sometimes he doesn't get lunch until 3 so then of course he's not hungry. I usually just make him a plate and stick it in the fridge for him to eat whenever. Usually becomes his midnight snack.
Oh, and no way in hell would he ever eat kal saute and some tofu with bean sprouts! Neither would I for that matter!:laugh:0 -

^ I love this!!! I think a nice cabernet sauvignon would go very well with this. :drinker:0 -
This. Sorry but last night my wife wife made me beef sausage, macaroni & cheese, and cucumber/tomato salad. It was very nice. Kale, tofu, and bean spouts are *not* nice.He wouldn't eat KALE TOFU AND SPROUTS?? Oh the horror. Divorce him immediately. He is obviously a poor excuse for a human.
Or wait....try real food.
Seriously...Ugh that sounds nasty. Do people really eat that?0 -
Withhold sex.
That's perfect
