Dh does all the cooking and sometimes I help by sitting in the kitchen to support him, so he's not by himself and chat!! We unload and load the dishwasher together. I always do the 'leaky roof' Which is the cutlery, called this, because where we used to live in Suffolk, the kitchen was an extension and we'd had the flat roof replaced. I'd taken the cutlery basket and put it on the table to put the cutlery in the drawer.
When we had sorted out everything after our meal. We noticed there was water droplets on the table. We were both puzzled and stared up at the ceiling, looking for a leak! Dreading that there might be one.. then the penny dropped and we realised the water was from the cutlery basket and laughed and laughed.. So ever since then the cutlery basket has been known as the leaky roof!
Altho' Dh is a good cook, he can be messy, so yesterday I gave the kitchen a really good clean, including the cooker top, which was very messy. But once I don my 'marigolds' I can do anything!
I did not check in there after we'd had dinner, altho' I was tempted as we'd had stir fry, which can slop over the wok! It was a very tasty meal, chicken thighs with stir fry peppers, onions, mushrooms, tomatoes, garlic and a sauce of honey and balsamic vinegar, I love it!
We'll keep it clean now for days.. perhaps!

Must have been a great relief to know that the roof was not really leaking. Love knowing about your puppy in the plastic bag. I do the cooking and I keep the pots washed in the husband keeps the dishes washed.
ReplyDeleteSounds very tasty. My husband is a very good cook, but messy, and likes to use all the herbs and spices in the cupboard, or so it seems, and never puts them away,. So, in our house, it's a choice between adequate meals from me and no mess, or superb meals from him and endless clearing up.
ReplyDeletep.s. Love the 'leaky roof'
ReplyDeleteYou have a great division of labour going. It works well bit the sound of it.
ReplyDeleteYour leaky roof story made me smile.
ReplyDeleteLove your leaky roof story! It's good to work and laugh together.
ReplyDeleteI read your title and thought oh no! But it's not the roof after all. Funny story.
ReplyDeleteFunny Story. Stir fries are yummy! How nice that your husband does all the cooking. Though I do most of the cooking, my husband does cook sometimes and sometimes we cook together.
ReplyDeleteA good way to divide the work. I do most of the kitchen duties, but DH helps with clean up. Love the leaky roof story. Those bits and pieces of family lore are lovely.
ReplyDeleteI can imagine your relief that the roof was not leaking!
ReplyDeleteGood division of labor. My guy cooks breakfast often but never dinner.
Thank you for sharing the cutlery story, Chris. It made me giggle. I'm glad the roof wasn't leaking though.
