My dh is retired, he’s in the kitchen ALL THE TIME. He decided we’d buy and cook our own foods. I hate it. I always considered the house to be my domain-I decided where things went, what we ate, did the laundry (I don’t fold them fast enough), you know, homemaker stuff. He leaves the drawers and cupboards open and he washes only HIS dishes, which fills up the drainer which I have to empty prior to doing MY dishes. I bet most of the divorces originate in the kitchen, not the bedroom. LOL
IMO people still want life to be gender divided.
Wonder how that works for gay people...
Well, I’m sure I’m the exception, but I’ve never been with a woman who could cook worth a hoot... I’m no French chef, but you can only stand sharing so many meals of bad food, before you just step in and take over, regardless.
Right now I’m thinking about one girl in particular, she said she wanted our first meal together to be special, so she was going to fix spaghetti the way her mom use to make it...well, I pity that whole family. Two pounds of spaghetti boiled in a pot, only half drained, and then about four ounces of cooked hamburger, and I swear to goodness, she emptied an institutional size can of tomato juice, *Juice* mind you, over the whole thing, and salt...nothing else...and then put that watery soup on to a plate, and waited for my compliments.
I told her that her hair looked really nice... ;^)
The woman lived on fast food and microwave popcorn... had a freezer full of TV dinners for the kids, and steaks in the refrigerator for the weekend, when she liked to grill. The cupboard full of popcorn, and one solitary sauce pan and that was it. Apparently, she made a special trip to get a box of spaghetti and a can of juice for me...LOL
My sister is worse... on Christmas, my mom makes the turkey and all the family members arrive with a covered dish. Every year, my sister comes with hotdogs microwaved in barbeque sauce with toothpicks in them. She used to live off fast food at home...when her daughter, my niece, took over the cooking, she was just a little girl, she asked her mom how to turn on the oven, and my sister didn’t know. Elementary school, and a little girl is cooking and cleaning for her mom, because she knows otherwise it won’t get done. Now my niece is in her twenties and my sister has a mental conniption anytime it looks like her daughter’s ready to move out of the house...she’s losing her cook and her maid.
It’s probably just as well... If I ever met a woman who could really cook, I wouldn’t know how to handle it, I’d probably be 400 pounds. I’d rather stay single...anyway, running the monastery gives me a tax break :^(
