Ok, here is what may seem like a pointless post but I'm really struggling. As some of you may know I'm a French woman of sicilian/Spanish-cuban/ Tunisian descent and who spent part of my childhood in a cajun Foster family in louisiana, living in Russia with a typical Russian guy. And obviously I spend a lot of time (several hours daily) in the kitchen preparing spices and food from scratch. And sure he loves it but still finds a way to complain about it, either because I spend too much time cooking or spend 'too much money on ingredients' (about 4000 to 6000₽ a week). If I go back to France even for a couple of weeks, he only eats butterbrods. I'm really starting to wonder what I can do to make him happy in terms of food without spending hours in the kitchen and without letting him eat butterbrod. Maybe I'm just too picky about prepacked dinners, but to me it's never been like spending a couple of hours (or more depending on what I'm cooking) on making dinner every night is a bad thing.
