The home-cooked meal has long been romanticized, from 50s-era sitcoms to the work of star food writer Michael Pollan, who once wrote, far from oppressing them, the work of cooking approached in the proper spirit offered a kind of fulfillment and deserved an intelligent womans attention. In recent years, the home-cooked meal has increasingly been offered up as the solution to our country's burgeoning nutrition-related health problems of heart disease and diabetes. But while home-cooked meals are typically healthier than restaurant food, sociologists Sarah Bowen, Sinikka Elliott, and Joslyn Brenton from North Carolina State University argue that the stress that cooking puts on people, particularly women, may not be worth the trade-off.

Wow... Amanda really loves to eat out.
Why are they burning their shoes?
She talks about some poor people stuck in a flea-bag hotel without a kitchen. Yeah, that might be a problem. That’s why talking about home cooked meals should probably exclude people who are living in high-stress, extreme conditions. In fact, she’s maliciously encouraging young women not to learn how to cook.
Well, I believe that second part.
They must be cooking soul food.
Sorry, I couldn’t help. : )
At home I could make about 6 egg mcmuffins for the price of one at Mickey D’s.
Best typo on FR EVER:
“Last time I ate out with my wife...”
but the poster forgot the “with”.
I think they are drying them out
Another example of the instant gratification culture. Things like “family social life” are mere accessories one does not have to work for.
Mothers work to provide a home. Fathers work to provide a home.
The key here is “work.” It takes work to have a loving home, and work and toil go into relationships.
Anything less is disingenuous.
Mrs. Maddox: “Put it on a plate, son. You’ll enjoy it more.”
Otto Maddox: “Couldn’t enjoy it any more, Mom. Mm, mm, mmm.”
Oppressive to force them to pray before letting them eat... lol
We’ve got her now - she even moved to the “trendiest” spot in NYC - Brooklyn. Of course, the stupid Marcotte doesn’t realize Brooklyn is passé. It’s Queens now - specifically Astoria that’s hot. Why, I don’t know, but it is.
lol
Yum-I can almost smell the meat on the barbee-if that is slavery, it is news to me. I was brought up on a small ranch-big family though-if you didn’t hear the yell for dinner at about 6, get to the house, wash up and sit down at the table you would likely go hungry, never mind hearing all the juicy gossip.
Fresh, homegrown food, too-no processed crap-I continued the tradition in my own home with my own kid and husband-still do it for myself, so does every woman out here that I know-we work at jobs, too, too-what a weak sister who can’t handle managing her household, ‘burb or boonies, job or no job...
Rosedale BBQ of course!
Grew up eating that. And it's barley 2 miles from my house ;)
One has to wonder why they only had two kids...
