do you guys even COOK anymore?

my mom (58) cooks an AMAZING meal from scratch.

my ex girlfriend who is 33 (only about 20 years difference) has trouble microwaving a can of beans.

what the fuck happened to all the real women?

they got "empowered" and got jobs and now humanity is stuck living in dirty homes eating TV dinners.

 

Or maybe we realized it doesn't pay to keep and feed you trolls...

 

everyone should be experienced at cooking a healthy meal, man and woman. no excuse not to be.

 

Seriously, I do think we're going a bit wrong as a society. Most parents are so busy working and so tired in the evenings, that they can't fully teach their children as they used to.

But I will say my cooking skills have got SO MUCH better since I started staying home. Fettucine alfredo is some good stuff. As is a chicken enchilada casserole. YUM!

 

my mom cooks fucking amazing. my older sister bakes stuff, but she doesn't really cook. i can bake, but i don't totally dig the kitchen. eh. i wish i liked it more because i don't know how i'm going to survive on my own if i can't even cook for myself.

 

my husband cooks and the reason being is ... cause he wanrts food and he wants it than and there


Where i like to take my time and hes starving... BUT i'm not home to slow cook it because i'm at work Poor him eh
Oh Well

 

i'd starve if i couldn't cook, just like how some people would starve if there wasn't a drive-thru/phone/microwave to "make" something for them.

i cook everyday. i really need a bigger kitchen. i've been craving things that i need room to make.

 

hippyfreak agrees cuz she's smart.

"Or maybe we realized it doesn't pay to keep and feed you trolls..."

Wow. You get to stay at home all day while the man goes off to work his ass off to pay the bills, pay for your cloths, pay for the food, pay for the house you live in without paying rent to him, pay for the car, pay for vacation, pay for your diamond ring... and all that was asked was that you fix dinner and do hte laundry and vacuum. Oh boo hoo you were so opressed back then and men never did nothing for you.

 

lol Cooking is not a mans job nor a womans. Cooking is a job for the parent that has more time. Seriously, not everyone in this day and age has the time to sit down and cook like it used to be.

 

Yea. Every since women flooded the workforce and brought down the value of labor and human resources, we're slaves and NEED two incomes just to survive!

 

I blame Eve.

*rolls eyes*

 

I used to cook, and started learning how to cook, but then I came to realize that men aren't as apreciative as they used to be also... so yea, I would have to agree that's one of the reasons.

Also, more woman are working careers instead of being house wives these days...

And then their are the ones like me, who no matter how hard they try still can't cook... haha I can bake... just can't cook for shit.

 

Another poster with problems with women...dearie me, why dont they seek therapy?

As some other posters have said, cooking should be something any adult person can do, man or woman, transvestite, transexual, hermaphrodite, whatever
Or how would you live?.....other than being totally dependant on someone else, which is completely unhealthy in a fully abled adult (unless, say, you have a very young infant you must be busy looking after, or something like that) and makes you lame

So yeah

And cooking is such a basic thing...how pathetic there are people out there who "cant cook" and make their partner always do it. Me and my boyfriend make meals together. Its quicker, and fun

 

i am one of the best cooks i know,,,, and most things are from scratch

 

Well, I'm a stay at home mother/housewife and I cook from scratch daily. A lot of gourmet recipes because I love trying new things. Breakfast, lunch, dinner, desserts, breads, you name it. I love cooking and my family loves my cooking.

 

I love cooking too. Its cool to enjoy cooking. What annoys me is when some loser rants about how "women" "should" be coooking, mostly FOR men...because obviously thats silly. It can even get to the point with losers like this where he is INCAPABLE of cooking for himself, and she does it all, and he doesnt even know where the vacuum cleaner is. That, to me, makes a man weak and pathetic...he cant even look after himself. But women cooking is cool, and men, and even getting the kids involved

 

i live alone,so if i want to eat i have to cook.Je suis un veritable chef de cuisinier :chef:

 

I'm a damn good cook, and I do most of the cooking in our house. Like someone said, I could def. use a bigger better kitchen, but I always make due with whatever we want. Even when living in a van, I always prepared at least one really good big nutritious meal a day. (Gourmet cooking on a propane camp-stove: there's something you don't see every day!!)

But my partner Ian is quite capable and proficient in cooking also. When I'm too busy or ill he takes up the responsibility no question. Sometimes due to appetite/stomach problems I'll go too long without food, even if I'm feeding him. When that happens he'll get up and cook for me, give me a plate and make me eat it. We take care of each other - that's what a responsible grown-up relationship is. It's about working as a team to make sure you both (and your kids, when they come into the picture) are as healthy and happy as can be.

It is NOT about assigning responsibility and tasks based solely on the contents of one's underwear! The reasons things worked out this way for us is just because I enjoy cooking more, I love my cast iron, and (mostly) I work at home and he doesn't. So I can just incorporate making dinner into my daily routine here, and since neither of us eats much throughout the day we don't have to be hungry for long when he gets home

 

My wife and I share cooking, trade off every other night but we both work. I tell you though I would love to stay home and cook while the wife works. I would have no problem with that.

 

I love to cook, but I don't think it's just something women should do. Oh and cooking is easy - hell cookbooks tell you how to do it step by step. :tongue:
