Yeah when we got together she came from a family that wasnāt very adventurous with cooking so she didnāt much at first, but when she realized I love eating so many different things she jumped right in and tried to make everything! Over a decade later she has many things down pat. I only cook a few staples really well: spaghetti, lasagna, chili, enchiladas, and Mac and cheese
Edit: I love seeing all the different things people make on here, so many everyday staples other places are unheard of here.

Congratulations!
Me too on both counts, and I hope thatās how it will be for you too, my friend! I hope your marriage is somehow even better than mine is, although I canāt imagine how that would be possible.
Mrs. mota and I have been together since 1996, married since I think maybe 2000. I donāt do well with my personal history. I think we had a wedding anniversary recently. Mrs. mota had a goal - to be married to me longer than my 3 formers (6, 6 and 9 years) were. Done.

I worked as a line cook in high school at a nice place, then some more cooking jobsā¦ as well as cooking at college for the 24 hour cafeteria. 
I have been cooking for my family since I was young. Now, I cook for the whole family. I have multiple posts of different stuff because everyone is always wanting something different. Everyone eats different. My wife has Hella allergies, so she doesnāt eat anything I like. Besides some rather mild foods like pizza and mashed potatoes, spaghetti etc. I love so many different things, and tend to cook them, rather than go out for them. I canāt afford going out to eat. I do have the time to cook the food, which ends up being a ton better imo. Food is pawsome.

Thank you @mota, and congrats on you and yoursā happiness!
@Pawsfodocaws Dang, allergies, that sucks. To be polite my girl ate only chicken salads everywhere we went at first, I was the one eating the good stuff, so I had to shake her free of that lol. I get a little overzealous with the seasonings in my food to often so I end up making all my food taste similar, so I let her take the reigns.

Nice, no problem. Itās just her taste I guess. Itās all good. Usually means I get to eat the whole pot of food or dish. we do give out food to family membersā¦ Iām stoned as hell now, I want some eggs Benedictā¦and some shark fin soup for dinner. Maybe some squid, with a couple tuna rolls too.

Sheesh that sounds like a spread! The only thing I donāt eat too much of is seafood like clams, oysters, squid, octopus, or basically anything with a strong fishy taste. Never had any seafood growing up so I donāt have a taste for it. I love shrimp and crab though. She grew up with her dad owning a shrimping boat in Maryland so her favorite things to eat are salmon and scallops. She can have em lol.
I did eat shark steaks one time though and they rocked

Shark is great. Thatās neat she grew up with that. We have always fished, and crabbed. Crawdad trapping all of it. I love seafood. Mahi Mahi fish was one of my top fish I have had.

Oh man, donāt even get me started lol. We go to buffets and I will get a bunch of fried things that I eat in 2 minutes, she get a spread of shelled shrimp and crawdads and spends a half hour a plate deshelling them while I watch haha. I have had mahi, but I canāt get over the texture since it is almost always barely seared on both sides and raw in the middle. I like some sushi but not that much haha

Weād always make ceviche for people on charters. They loved catching something, watching it get gutted and filleted, watching ceviche be made, and then eating it right there on the boat. I didnāt eat it though. Haha

In some ways, my mom was kind of an unusual woman for her time. She gave the same advice regarding marriage to me as she gave to my sisters, and that advice was never marry until you have lived with that person for a minimum of three years. Minimum.
Iāve been married four times. I donāt see any of the prior three as bad or āfailures.ā I learned stuff from each woman and loved them at one time. No lawyers involved in any divorce of mine. I give the same advice to my kids and grandkids.
