I Like Spicy Food

It's difficult in my household. I do the cooking because I am a much better cook than my wife. She likes bland things and only likes certain vegetables. There are other vegetables that seem to cause her gut problems. I, on the other hand, love every kind of vegetable, love the cuisine from all nations, and really enjoy spicy food. So, it's tough for me to cook the kind of dishes I really enjoy. My wife says, "Go ahead and make it for yourself," but then why should I make it if I'm the only one eating it; I don't enjoy cooking for myself, but for others. If my wife is out of town, I don't cook anything special, I just grab whatever is quick and easy even though, in principle, I could make whatever I want. Why? Because if I want something special and I'm all alone, I'll go to a restaurant and buy something I didn't have to make. Cooking is a chore. I love to do it for others, but I will not do it for just me.
