Mh. 🤔 I noticed a curious thing after looking at Howard and Harold's personal profiles on Wikia Fandom and Exchange of Heart: According to Harold's profile, he was the cook in the family, in charge of preparing food for his loved ones. But in this episode Howard always cooks, he was in fact seen cooking three times in the following two days. So no turns for Harold in the kitchen. My guess is that we all probably misunderstood their roles in Attention Deficit. In that episode, we saw Howard serving organic chicken with homemade marinade sauce. But maybe he was only in charge of preparing the table and serving food, not cooking ...... since later it seemed that Harold was cooking, after serving frozen food, but forgetting to put it back because of tiredness extreme. But after seeing Exchange of Heart, maybe things didn't really go that way. In Attention Deficit, Howard was the real cook and not Harold .... but at the end of the episode, he was too emotionally exhausted to cook, so Harold goes to replace him in the kitchen but, unlike her husband, it's not much able to cook and so he got stuck with frozen food. If you think about it, frozen food usually indicates two different but fundamental things: 1) The inability to cook and prepare real food or 2) simply not being able to find time to cook. For the second option, we had thought of this for Harold at the beginning of the show in Deficit Attention. But in reality it is not so. Howard was perhaps also the one who prepared Swiss chard omelette for Clyde, as mentioned in "Roughin it". And Harold probably helped Howard in the kitchen from time to time, but only on special occasions.

Now that we know how things really are, maybe we will have to update their profiles, now. 🙄
