Husbands hate shopping.
It's proven scientifically, people!
The roll of the eyes, when you say "we are out of ketchup and coffee." Because they know what's coming. They know that ketchup is only the tip of the iceberg. They know that you will stop in the clearance section and browse the clothing department. Don't even mention the kitchenware!
Ohh, the kitchenware.. Have you seen Wilton's new baking gadgets line? I love the yellow handles! ( swoon )
Aaaaanyways, MY Husband hates shopping. Browsing the aisles, searching for a new kind of the product - that does not have any appeal.
Women looooove shopping. I love shopping!
Sure I have a list with me. I always shop with my kids, so I need the list like my right arm. Otherwise, we would be eating scrambled eggs for breakfast, lunch and dinner.
But I love to browse. I tend to drift off from our route into a bakeware section. Or cheese section. Or fruit stands!
The clearance sign - it's all it's fault I say. You are thinking: it's on sale! It's a great deal! I am getting it!
I have been there, ladies. Because, when you buy on sale - it's like you are saving making money! Right?
I would bet a plate full of brownies, that our husbands don't agree.
But they figured out a way to deal with it! They make up a strategy and grab the bull by it's horns!
"Let me do the shopping today. You just relax." - he says.
" I can do it in ten!" - he thinks.
"I am staying home with the kids... You think I can relax?" - I think.
Walk in, get what you need, pay and get out! That's how they do it.
Yep. I witnessed it.
I was speechless.
I even admired it!
Just like my Hubby admired my homemade marshmallows, sitting comfortably on a plate in front of him.
Perfection was the word he used. Better than store bought might have been exclaimed.

I love to go grocery shopping and shop for kitchen gadgets.
Your marshmallows look perfect.
Crunchy Creamy Sweet says
Thank you, Christine!
Jenn Kendall says

Thank you, Jenn 🙂
Catalina says
I have never made, and I have never had homemade marshmallows, but they look so much better than the store bought ones!!
Crunchy Creamy Sweet says
I hope you will try to make them or I will have to send you some of mine 🙂 Thank you, Catalina!

Tina Bk says
I find the best shopping is done by myself! Husbands are in a hurry and sometimes friends cannot make a decision on purchases. I do not get to shop that often since I live 2 hours from nowhere so I do make it worthwhile!
Marshmallows are on my to do list and yours look amazing. They beat store bought hands down. Great post. Happy Friday!
Crunchy Creamy Sweet says
Thank you so much, Tina! Shopping by myself - that sounds nice... 🙂
Susie says
Wow, these look gorgeous! Haven't been brave enough to try homemade marshmallows yet, but will do at some point! My husband hates shopping - does it grudgingly. He's very much a 'necessity' shopper, and if I send him to the supermarket he comes back with only what's on the list in as quick as time as possible. And if there is one word guaranteed to break him out in a cold sweat, it's 'IKEA'. Me? Entirely different story. Especially if kitchenware is involved. 😉
Crunchy Creamy Sweet says
I knew that kitchenware tempts not only me 🙂 Thank you, Susie!
Kit says
These are indeed perfect marshmallows! Looks delicious & my boys love them & can eat these the whole day! Well, I must say that my hubby love shopping & we always ended up more than what I've written in my shopping list. So I tried to do all my shopping when he's at work! LOL
Crunchy Creamy Sweet says
lol Good tactic, Kit 🙂 Thank you!
kitchen flavours says
Sounds familiar! Nowadays I do the shopping myself, gave him the option of coming with me, and keeping an eye on the kids while out shopping, or keeping an eye on them at home, he chose the later! hahaha! I could shop for hours at the supermarket or even in the bookstore! Your marshmallows looks great, I'm feeling guilty each time I see a blog post on marshmallows! My daughter has been asking me to make some for ages!
:o)
Crunchy Creamy Sweet says
This sounds familiar 🙂 I hope you will make them - she will love it! Thank you 🙂
Curry and Comfort says
My husband only like shopping by himself.. for himself. Otherwise... I do all the shopping for everything else. I'm actually pretty good.. I don't shop for hours. My sister on the other hand... she can be MIA for the whole day. LOL! Lovely sweet fluffy marshmallows. I know your family loved them.:)
PS... congrats again on TOP 9!! ~ Ramona 🙂
Crunchy Creamy Sweet says
Thank you so much, Ramona! 🙂
Baking Addict says
I'm not a fan of marshmallows but these look great - definite perfection! I'd like to try making my own one day. I love food and/or cooking/baking shopping and can easily spend ages browsing. Normal shopping - sometimes I love it, sometimes I hate it and just go in and get what I want and leave.
Crunchy Creamy Sweet says
Not a fan of marshmallows?? I bet a plat of brownies, these can change your mind! 🙂 Thank you!
Slow Cooking Kitchen says
This looks like a fun recipe to make - sticky, but fun! lol ... can't wait to try =)) xxoo
Crunchy Creamy Sweet says
Thank you, Tess!
Pranjali says

SerenaB says
You beat me to it! Oh my goodness homemade marshmallows have been on the to post list for some time! Deliciousness!
Crunchy Creamy Sweet says
So sorry... I hope you will post them anyway! xo
Pam says
Great story! Men can always walk in, grab what they need and out the door. I don't get it! I will be checking out Wilton's now! Your marshmallows look delicious! I've never made them and have always wanted to try it though. It's a must try after seeing this!
Crunchy Creamy Sweet says
Thank you so much, Pam!
Anita at Hungry Couple says
Surprisingly we both like shopping for kitchen gadgets and do-dads. Left to his own devices he does the run/grab/get out thing in grocery stores. But I can get him to browse through the Costco as long as there are not too many people and lots of tasting samples. 🙂
Crunchy Creamy Sweet says
Oh yes, the tasting samples 🙂 Thank you, Anita!
