When I went to Bible study with a friend, the other moms there were quite intrigued to hear my friend and I discussing the roast she was doing for that night’s dinner. They had no idea how you actually make a roast dinner lol. That was 30 years ago.
I put myself through college as a line cook at a steak and seafood house. Probably learned more multi-tasking and time management skills there than in college. And how to cook!
No need to do much anymore, partly due to a few surplus items (often left over from surplus) from privately donated food from a store chain that we distribute as part of ministry in our densely populated city. And with some neighbors who love to cook and share, as I do. Thanks and glory be to God.
I taught both my boys how to cook. If a man, as a man myself, cannot cook, clean, sew on a button, clean/polish you shoes/boots, do laundry plus the manly stuff … then your opportunities for a spouse/family drastically diminish. My thinking is you can teach anyone to do those domestic things. You can do any of those things together as a couple and make your bonds stronger. If neither know and neither learn then might as well stay single. Both my sons do about 95% of the cooking at home and they are early in their lives so cooking at home is just cheaper and better for you. Most of the fat dumb lazy idiots eat nutrition Al garbage fast food.
Anyway, less money increases the need for home cooking / meal planning.
