Thanks Everyone!
He doesn't really like salmon that much. He thinks it's too greasy tasting. I will go buy some cod this weekend and give the poor guy a break.
The three of us totally overwhelm him with asian food. It's a good thing he still likes it, but I want to make him happy too
Thanks Again!

Deb:
I don't cook in my house hold so I can't help you there. But I can sympathize with you. My husband is also caucasian and grew up with less flavorful food than we cooked in my Vietnamese house. He thought that the only way to spice up food was with salt and pepper! His mother is a more bland chef. Most of the foods she cooked wer boiled in water (that's how they ate just about every cut of meat). When we got married it really threw him having other flavors and options.
it took him a while to get use to the asian flavors so, i tend to alternate countries each night. I will use an 'american' classic but asian it up, so to speak.(t's a great game for DD too!) So this week we are eating:
Sunday-Korean-thin steak marinated in a Korean marinade, served with asian rice and a side of cauliflower
Monday-italian-chicken parm
Tuesday-American-pot roast in the slow cooker with cream soups with green beans
Wed-Hungry (beef stew with hungarian paprika)
Thurs-Vietnamese-pho
Friday-American-DD and DH eat pizza and i eat left overs
Sat-Germany-sauerbrauten with spatzele and sour red cabbage
I would prefer to make asian food every night but DH is not use to all the flavors so i alternate. many of the other "ethnic' foods i make are just variations on what DH thinks of as American classics but i try to make them as authentic as possible.
Sorry this is a little OT.
