The way to a man's heart is through his:

Why so defensive about everything? Do you feel your maleness is being compromised by feminism or something?

It was just a question, asking: "what you like your partner to cook for you?" It didnt imply that you couldnt cook for yourself, or never do, just asking, "when your partner does cook you a meal, what do you like it to be?"

I' just starting to notice that you have this huge beef about women and inequallity. I think you'll find most women on this board arent like these supposed feminazis who want it all and the shirt off your back too who you seem to bring up in every thread involving, even the mention of a female

 

I'm with you, I'd rather have the protein and such. Screw carbs. :$ Anyway, I don't really know what I'd like to be cooked, so long as I can do most of it on a grill I'm fine cooking for myself. I do have a thing for quiche though..

 

i kill the elk, dave cooks it. works for me.

though i do make a truly awesome new york style cheesecake.

 

RE: Why so defensive about everything? Do you feel your maleness is being compromised by feminism or something?

No, just most of the things in my life.

And my answer is, I'd rather make my own food, cause I don't tend to like too much fuss and to eat as much raw as I can.

 

Something like steak, chops, eggs, bacon, sausages, roast chicken and the like on one half of the plate and a decent variety of veggies on the other half, now that's a real meal
I don't mind a good mushroom soup either, but I haven't met a chick who could make it as well as me, *sigh*

 

Like "Nature Burgers" and "Boca Burgers" vegetarian "meats." He can't stand them. My 17 year old dd eats them, but I don't serve them to the entire family, cuz Bear really hates them.

But, Bear cooks a lot. He likes salad and carbs, too,in fact, he eats a hell of a lot more salad than I do. He INSISTS on salad at almost every meal. But he's a beef nut as well.

Who cooks for your wife and children?

 

yer know......if yer ever in the mood for a new husband...i ain't much of a catch but i'll even wash dishes for a damned good cheesecake

 

shiiiit...I'll do her dishes for a cheesecake

 

Who wouldn't do dishes for cheesecake?

 

it's an incredibly involved process involving 6 bricks of cream cheese, sour cream, HUGE springform pans, water baths, strange cooling periods and a recipe from memory. i'm very proud. mind you, it's the only recipe i know....

 

It can't be the ONLY recepie you know?

 

eh? my cheesecake recipe is two bricks of cream cheese, sugar, eggs, vanilla, and a premade graham crust, plus whatever toppings/extra ingredients I wanna include (usually almonds and cherry pie filling, but sometimes chocolate or other nuts or saskatoonberry type stuff, mmmmmm)

 

it is the only recipe i know. truly. it's a 10" true ny style cheesecake. my dad finagled the recipe for me from his favorite restaraunt and made me memorize it. my mom can't bake. or make instant tapioca. go figure.

 

i'd say if a woman was gonna feed me, my favorite meal would prolly be some eggplant parmesean or some lasagna. or both. maybe some type of homemade veggie soup. definately a salad with lots of colors in it. red wine or brown beer.
. .. . so when should i show up for dinner? 7 good for you?

 

dave makes his special salad, it's pretty funny. it's a highly involved process of layering veggies and cheese and salt, but no dressing.

 

the truth is I don't really care if a girl can cook, I love to cook, so long as she can do the dishes after I am very happy, or whatever dishes don't fir in the dishwasher

 

that's very reasonable of you.

 

why thank you

 

One thing I have to say to all those guys who want to do something that women like: learn to cook. Invite a woman to your home and give her a good meal, prepared while she sits in the kitchen and maybe sips something nice and helps out in some minor way.

My experience (repeated with several ladies) is that this puts a woman in a very very good mood. I think it's a combination of demonstrating a domestic side, going to some trouble on her behalf, treating her to something that feels pleasant and finally having something good and willingly sharing it. None of it's really sneaky psychology, just good sense. It's better known for working in the other direction, but that might make it all the more effective if a man does most of the work.
