Anyone would be wise to pick up cooking as a talent because it broadens our understanding of global flavors and cultures. You'll quickly realize that healthy alternatives to most fast food options can be just as quick and easy to find.

Understanding the components of meals will help you pay closer attention to what you eat, leading to wiser, more delectable, and healthier decisions. Compared to eating at restaurants, fast food establishments, and school cafeterias, cooking is less expensive.

Not to mention that buying pre-packaged meals adds up for young adults or families on a tight budget. Every meal is completely up to you, and you get to choose exactly what you want to eat. 

The OP's wife has terrible cooking skills, so she rarely even attempts to cook. They have a housemaid who cooks except for Sundays, so they rely on takeout every Sunday.

OP's birthday came up, and it happened to fall on a Sunday. His wife decided to make dinner for him, which turned out to be a disaster as one dish looked half burned, and the other was more like tasteless water than what his wife was calling a soup.

The OP thanked her and told her not to bother cooking because she knew about her poor cooking skills very well. This got his wife upset, and you can read the full details below.

Here's the headline and it gets more interesting than this

This Redditor who hates cooking and baking has a little story to share

How is she now supposed to learn how to cook?

The OP's wife did it all because she loves him so much

It was unrealistic of the OP's wife to expect him to try all the dishes

This is not a kids art project but the OP's birthday

Why would the OP's wife think that his birthday is the best time to experiment?

This Redditor is definitely not eating a bad food on their birthday

That was the foreseeable consequence and the OP's wife had it coming

Sometimes, people's intentions really need to be weighed more. The OP's wife wasn’t trying to ruin his birthday or make a bad meal, but she was trying to do something nice for her husband.

Yes, it failed, and he made her feel bad for it. Still, a verdict has to be passed, and the OP was declared the AH.
