Saturday I made fried flounder and roasted vegetables for dinner in the air fryer.
For lunch on Sunday I put some ham and cheese on the leftover rolls and heated them up in the air fryer.
Last night my wife made taco cups with rice and black beans.
My wife's cooking leaves a lot to desired. Her version of low sodium is following a recipe but leaving out all traces of salt. Even I found it bland. It was amazing how much a little lime juice and a sprinkle of potassium chloride did for rice and beans and a shot of hot sauce on the tacos made them really good.
The trick is figuring out how to explain this to my wife without insulting her or making her feel like I'm complaining about her cooking. I used the excuse that I took too long to get to the table and my food had gone cold so I could take my plate too the kitchen and fix it before popping it in the microwave for show.
I try to humor her because she feels like she isn't a proper wife if she doesn't do some cooking (thanks Kentucky upbringing), but sometimes I just want to to walk in, push her aside, and take over.
In this instance she was following a recipe and leaving out the salt. I could have walked in and made it without a recipe and made the low sodium adjustments.
And I'm not being unfair. She chose to throw out the leftovers rather than pack them for lunches.
