Perusing the exact details of the new lockdown my wife noted that elite sport will still be permitted. I commented that her Pilates classes should therefore run as normal.

...I used the new Carbon steel frying pan with frozen chicken. "And it will damage the pan because frozen chicken has water in it"

These were individually wrapped/sealed chicken breasts (its America - gotta make as much waste as possible).

No amount of logic could persuade her that sealed chicken breasts don't magically fill up with water in the freezer.

She wasn't more concerned you're cooking chicken from frozen?

She caught me cleaning the fancy Pampered Chef stoneware with washing up liquid (as I have done for the last ten years). She now thinks they are unuseable. How do I explain that away.......??

Most recent one - we both started slimming world 3 weeks ago

She's been stricter than me re. drink etc - I've had regular nights with mates in the pub after work, a lads trip for a golf society (resulting in alcohol induced bulimia) and numerous "cheat" days....

I've still consistently lost 2.5x the amount that she has each week.... she is not happy and now rather annoyed at me....

Most chicken breasts bought from a supermarket are pumped with some water to make them look plumper. You only need to see how much comes out of them when you start cooking them to confirm this.

It's true. If a man wants something, they usually just say so. A woman will expect you to know what she wants and then gets huffy when you don't get/do it.
Women are telepathic, men aren't. Unfortunately it is so natural to women they just won't accept that we can't read their minds like they read ours.

A completely unscientific opinion based on observation, they do seem to quickly release more water after being frozen. Possibly damage to cells caused by freezing. Of course it might be twaddle but it's an honest impression.

My wife is annoyed at me because i didnt say good morning to her when i got up. I got up an hour or so later than her and the first words out of her mouth before I had a chance to say anything was telling me how lazy i was!

Obviously i have to say it first!

I put a 1960s melamine bowl, that used to belong to her nan in the microwave. I think it was some leftover apple crumble and custard. She immediately decides that I've ruined it and the chemical structure of the plastic will likely kill us. She made me bin it.

Later I took it out, of the bin, and hid it. Then i took it round to her sisters when her sister was out and with my BiLs help. Hid it at the back of the crockery cupboad at the bottom of a pile of bowls.
6 months later when we were around having Tea, I offered to wash up and whilst putting it away "found" it.
"Oh, you've got one of your nan's bowls too?"
"No that will be yours. You probably brought round a slice of Apple pie, and I forgot the return it"
Wife happy to have a melamine bowl of her nan's in the cupboard.

I'm not sure with water would spoil a cooking utensil? Is it very scratchy?

Don't be stupid - you're a husband; so by definition the chances of you being right are rather remote.

May I suggest a change of thread title to,

"My Wife is annoyed at me."

After all, it's a gibbon (a given) that's she's annoyed and it's
also a gibbon that the reason makes no man sense at all.

I loaded the dishwasher before heading out earlier, decided to chuck all the wire racks from the oven and the cast bits from the top of the hob in too with a good squirt of fairy liquid for good measure...

Wife’s Facetimes me looking furious with a kitchen floor covered in bubbles that the cats ran all over the house laugh
