10 Tips for When Your Partner Messes Up Dinner
Cooking isn’t always easy, and mistakes happen. Here are 10 simple ways to handle things when your partner’s meal doesn’t go as planned.
1. The Art of Distraction
Start an engaging conversation right before dinner. Talk about aliens, the plot holes in your favorite TV show, or why your pet might secretly be a spy. By the time the food arrives, they’ll be too deep into conspiracy theories to notice the taste.
2. Suddenly Develop a “Spice Allergy”
Claim that you’ve developed an allergy to all spices. Salt? Pepper? Garlic? Nope, can’t do it. It’s a medical mystery. This way, you can blandly and safely navigate through the meal without raising suspicion.
3. Become a Sauce Connoisseur
Invest in an array of sauces. Hot sauce, BBQ sauce, even chocolate sauce – who’s judging? A good sauce can cover a multitude of sins, and you might even start a new food trend.
4. Master the Chew-and-Swallow
Perfect the art of chewing just enough to make it look like you’re savoring the flavor, followed by a quick swallow. It’s all about timing. Too fast and you risk a cardboard overload, too slow and you actually have to taste it.

5. Embrace the World of Vegetarianism
Start a health kick and become a temporary vegetarian. Most cardboard-esque foods are meat-based, right? Now you have the perfect excuse to stick to salads and avoid the mystery meatloaf.
6. Fake a Cooking Show Audition
Convince your partner that you’re both auditioning for a cooking show where you have to cook together. You’ll “need” to take the lead to “boost your chances.” It’s for fame and glory, after all.

7. The “Surprise” Dinner Out
Start a tradition of surprise dinner dates. The catch? You always pick the place. This way, you can ensure that your meals are edible and maybe even enjoyable.
8. The Strategic Pet
If you have a pet, train it to be your ally. A well-timed distraction and a bit of under-the-table teamwork can make that cardboard casserole disappear in seconds.

9. The Sudden Snack Habit
Develop a sudden, unexplained penchant for snacking just before dinner. Oh no, you’re just too full for a big meal now. How unfortunate, but at least you saved room for dessert.
10. The Ultimate Sacrifice: Cooking Classes
As a last resort, sign up for couple’s cooking classes. It’s a fun activity, and it might just transform your partner’s cooking from cardboard to gourmet. Or at least to edible. Let’s not aim too high.
