This is basically what I say to my wife when I get an idea like this and the result of said idea will only benefit her. Her response is almost always something to the effect of “well ok hang on”. Lady, I know you well enough to know the things you like. Let me help you

And guess who loves the pizza I make for her in the pizza oven, the fresh baked sourdough bread I bake for her, the tomatoes from the garden I dug, the beer I brew, the pasta I make, and the deer meat I shoot? What a terrible life she has

    My wife has learned by now that I follow through.

    She won a gift certificate to a kitchen store and I asked for, and reluctantly got, a cast iron pan.

    Dozens of delicious pizzas (and other stuff) later she just buys me kitchen stuff she thinks I can use.

    I feel you. We have fantastic cookware. We almost never use it. Why? I don't know how many years ago, I told my wife i wanted to buy a cast iron pan so sorry i know the budget's tight but i'm spending some date money. three date nights later, she told me we needed another cast iron pan.

    We now have two cast iron skillets and a cast iron bread pan, which was used on the last loaf I posted. (It has a top so you get the full extra crust)

    I love cooking for her.

    we've got the 14 and the 12 skillets, a 6 quart dutch oven and a large ramekin (we call it the artichoke dish dip because that is the only thing i make in it)

    food is my love language, so cooking with my wife is one of my favorite things
