You're kidding me, right?

IMO, there is nothing sexier than a man who knows his way around the kitchen, especially since I hate to cook. It's wonderful to lounge with a glass of wine watching a man do his thing. It makes a gal feel pampered. Edited by bionerd April 11, 2005, 09:20:28 AM EDT You're kidding me, right?

My fiancee gets to stay home and take care of everyone (me plus her (well, our) two kids.) Part of that is cooking, even if it's just ANOTHER job for her to do. So I give her Sundays off from the cooking dutiees, and it gets me a chance to cook for the whole family. It's good to teach the kids (two boys) that Men Can Cook, Too. -YendorMike "They that can give up essential liberty to obtain a little temporary safety deserve neither liberty nor safety." - Benjamin Franklin, 1759 Historical Review of Pennsylvania

Women love to bitch about men not sharing the cooking, and may even have convinced themselves of that, but it's rarely true. Most women consider the kitchen their power base and their cooking a major leverage over their men and are uncomfortable yielding that leverage. Wise men stay away and restrict their cooking to throwing slabs of raw cow over hot coals and "improving" it by brushing on some potion that ruins it - after which they beat their chests and boast of their grilling prowess. Regardless of what they say, this is what most women want. [link\|http://www.aaxnet.com\|AAx]

Since I'm far far more competent than she is in the kitchen (she can burn water) it's just been better that way. --\n-------------------------------------------------------------------\n* Jack Troughton jake at consultron.ca \n [link\|http://consultron.ca\|http://consultron.ca] [link\|irc://irc.ecomstation.ca\|irc://irc.ecomstation.ca] \n Kingston Ontario Canada [link\|news://news.consultron.ca\|news://news.consultron.ca] *\n-------------------------------------------------------------------

Post #202,885 by hnick 4/11/05 2:32:59 PM Reply	Nah. Some do, some don't My wife and I are both rather good cooks. She's more traditional, as in the way her mother used to do it. I tend to experiment more. Depending on what we are making, we sometimes even cooperate, but not very often. I do a lot of the prep work for her if I'm around. We have friends who are like Andrew described. Other friends just regard food as fuel and don't really care if it was nicely prepared or dumped from a can. It's hard to generalize.
