I LOVE THIS and can totally relate to it! Thanks for the great laughs and inspiration!
you are killing me with this.
Hahah! This is hysterical and you guys are funny!! Looks like all in all youโre both doing a pretty good job =)
Um, I need a copy of this, and ASAP!!!
Love you guys!!
That is as good as the โLunch Contractโ. Which is really saying something because I thought the โLunch Contractโ would NEVER be matched in the blogosphere!
Too funny. Really what a great idea!
Thank you for the morning laugh, this is hysterical.
OH you guys SLAY ME! I agree, I didnโt think โthe lunch contractโ could be topped but this gives it a good run for its money! Hilarious.
Props!
can you post a link to a blank one? I would love to do this for my husband!
Best 5 minutes of procrastination Iโve spent all day.
Fun to read โ but the cupboards being left open park kills me. My husband does the same thing and EVERY TIME I get the same creepy Sixth Sense flashback!
mek: You have no idea how glad i am that you wrote that. I had โSixth Senseโ reference in my first draft but then thought no one would remember that scene. It is SIXTH SENSE ALL THE TIME in the kitchen when he is cooking. Scary, right?
And for the record: I have never ordered a Death-By-Chocolate-Tini. Totally fabricated!
Thanks for notes everyone. Glad you like.
Iโm new to DALS thanks to your new column in Bon Appetit โ really been enjoying your stuff and have quickly come to respect your opinion in all family-dinner matters. (You mostly give me hope for the future, as Iโm now in the weeds with a 4-year old and a 15-month old.)
The โdemonstrates resolve โฆ when faux-weepy child asks for hot dog instead of steakโ entry made me crave more info. Can yaโll do a post on your strategies for dealing with picky eaters and the desire to resist short order cookery? I think Iโve heard โem all: the โthank youโ bite, your โrule of threeโ โ but Iโm not sure what to do AFTER the food has been rejected and my mom instincts for feeding/providing are in high relief.
Hi โ I just stumbled upon your site and I love it. Although I do not have children, but what you write about in regards to the family meal is something I feel very pasionatly about. I just wanted to drop you a line and tell you how inspirational your blog is and that you have a new follower! X
You guys are hilarious!! I think the hubs and I may need to start thisโฆ ๐
ok, this is HILARIOUS. i love that you can keep it real โฆ ๐
LOVE this!! And so appreciate getting the โmomโ vs โdadโ perspectivesโ can totally relate.
THIS is why I love your site!
This was hysterical, but OMG Jenny when you wrote that Andy leaves every cabinet door open i almost fell off my chair โ my hubby is an amazing cook, but I fear I will lose an eye on one of the open cabinets at eye level! How hard is it to close a cabinet or pantry door??
I love this โ and am encouraged to know another family applies Manhattans so successfully. You give me lots of hope for the day we go down the children route.
I lied: one more comment tonight. Both your reports card made me laugh out loud. Ahhhhโฆfamily life.
