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
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. threedatenights later, she told me we needed another cast iron pan.
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

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.

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.

I sometimes wonder how many children Kenji has been indirectly responsible for creating. Must be in the thousands by now.
