My hubby would approve. I like skinny pasta just about always. He always prefers thick and often tubular pasta like penne and rigatoni.

I didn't grow up with eating much pasta, but DH loves Rig and now that I found thick Spaghetti, he's requesting that more so.
I like the WW Penne with broccoli rabe, chicken, onions and tons of garlic and Olive Oil, oh and cheese, gotta have the cheese... hmmm, let's add that to the menu.

You are such a nice husband, how romantic!

I second this!

My husband is perfect in almost any way, but like a typical Dutch man romance isn't his strongest point.

I once dated an American for about three years, and they're quite different when it comes to charm and romance :love:. Yet the Dutch might lack romance, but are very reliable. In the end, I prefer stability.

Of course, this doesn't go for everyone. But some cultural stereotypes aren't entirely wrong.
 
The trouble when you pick 7kg+ of mushrooms is you have to process them all pretty quickly.

Last night I made a huge dish of chicken stroganoff.
I dried a dehydrator worth. Lots of small one whole and larger ones sliced.

Below: Huge batch x 3 dry fried, set aside, then garlic & butter added to pan, mushrooms added back in, then port, then red wine, beef stock & cream with salt, pepper & nutmeg.

I also did a smaller batch dry fried, then butter & garlic, shaoxing wine, miso & a splash of water.

Both lots cooked down until I could make a spoon line in the bottom of the pan then cooled, ziplocked and put into the freezer.

Thank you, both. I try, I try… :wink:

Traditional romance stereotypes here are as follows:

Men should send their partners flowers, should bring them chocolates, should make reservations at romantic restaurants, and should plan surprise romantic B&B weekends away to Vermont/Napa Valley for antiquing/wine tasting.

Women should smell nice, look pretty, wear sexy undies, always be up for a bit of the ol’ hoo-ha, and make a romantic meal at home.

We both fall somewhere in the middle:

She plans trips away and buys chocolates for us both, I make romantic meals and don’t wear any undies, sexy or otherwise. :laugh:
