DUDE, where are you getting all these awesome dishes from? Does it just pop in your head and you cook it or what? 
 
You are throwing down some "Good Eats" daily and I wanna know where the inspiration comes from.

I just cook what the Mrs. craves! If she wants Manicotti, I whip up some manicotti! I just wrapped up a whole tray of manicotti for lunhes for the next few days.

It also helps to have a fantastic leftover base sauce from Sunday, when I made...Sunday gravy

When my wife was pregnant she could not tolerate the smell/taste of:  garlic, chiles, cabbage, any kind of bbq and/or fish of any kind.  It got bad enough late term that I'd cook dinner at our friends houses (much to their delight) and then bring home some kind of bland whole foods type hot bar dishes for her.
 
That your wife is gung ho for all this stuff is an awesome thing.  Prepare yourself for late night cravings.  :)

Thanks for the advice brother! My wife is Vietnamese, so she loves/craves the durian, fermented, and fishy stuff. My fridge has midnight snacks for days. She hits them up all of the time at night. That's why I have to cook daily.

The day after I fried that pampano the other day, my wife and I got home, and I could instantly tell that the house smelled hella fishy, but my wife was like "it smells so good in here!".
