Guest guest Posted May 31, 2003 Report Share Posted May 31, 2003 Let's see....since I'm single, I do all the cooking. And I fix gourmet foods such as Hamburger Helper, grilled cheese sandwiches. My specialities are the chicken from the deli and Papa 's pizza!!! lololololol Sue (who really can cook when she has to) mom to Kate 13 and Karrie 7 w/ds Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted May 31, 2003 Report Share Posted May 31, 2003 Bev, I'm with you...although right now, it's hard to tell that I like to clean my house!! It's been a rugged week at work. Lots of hours, not enough therapists. I separated my shoulder at work last week and am on restricted duty, which makes it's rough to do anything!!

Guest guest Posted May 31, 2003 Report Share Posted May 31, 2003 , Maybe a match between Karrie and would work!!! He could cook the eggs and Karrie could peel the bananas. She's discovered she can do this on her own. Once she ate 6 bananas in one evening (without my knowledge). Now, she just unpeels them and lets most sit. She can also open a mean bag of potato chips!

Guest guest Posted May 31, 2003 Report Share Posted May 31, 2003 But did he eat it???? Karrie is a girl of very plain taste. Not sure she could go for such exotic combinations!! Karrie needs to have her chips in a bowl, since she, too, will eat till the chips are gone. Sue Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted May 31, 2003 Report Share Posted May 31, 2003 After I posted that this morning, went into the kitchen and made himself a mustard and strawberry preserves sandwich. Mustard is not easy to clean! They could have fun together. also will eat a bag of chips unless we put them in a bowl. I have to buy the smallest bag of grapes - otherwise, would eat too much.

Guest guest Posted May 31, 2003 Report Share Posted May 31, 2003 Yes, he ate that sandwich! GROSS!! His hands are stained yellow. He does like mustard next to his ketchup for foods that he wants to dip. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted May 31, 2003 Report Share Posted May 31, 2003 I have to admit that dipped corn dogs in both ketchup and mustard is one of my favorites!! Karrie (and Kate and my mom, for that matter) hates to have her foods touch on her plate. Sue Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted May 31, 2003 Report Share Posted May 31, 2003 What a combination!! If you had made that and given it to him he probably wouldn't have eaten it but since he made it himself--Well! When I r ead my message over I realized I made a mistake. All the talk about mustard had me grossed out I guess. The sandwich I made in my sleep actually consisted of 2 slices of bread with dry cocoa in the middle. I don't think I could have eaten that even in my sleep. Ugh!

Guest guest Posted May 31, 2003 Report Share Posted May 31, 2003 Grant, my nds son, made a " delicious " sandwich for himself once. It consisted of two slices of bread, shredded ham, a hot dog, topped with peanut butter and ketchup! It about made me sick to look at but he ate every bit.

Guest guest Posted June 1, 2003 Report Share Posted June 1, 2003 is the better cook in our house. He worked to get his master's degree as a short order cook. I like to do yardwork much better than any housework. I honestly believe that tv keeps women in the role of doing ALL the work with both working in the household. JMHO. Name an ad that has a man doing housework without a woman. Elaine RE: cooking- non ds While I am sincerely happy for the women who enjoy the cooking that is expected of them, I am not one of them. However, I do love doing laundry and don't even mind cleaning bathrooms. I'm afraid that there is still a lot of sexism regarding whose role it is to do the cooking. Here in the DC area, there are a lot of men retiring in their 50's, and just like Cheryl's situation, the wives often continue to work. Unfortunately, I don't know of too many cases in which the at-home males have taken over the grocery shopping and cooking. As for male cooks: my uncle, the chemical engineer, is a master chef. Growing up, everyone was always thrilled to have him visit on holidays, not only because we really enjoyed his company, but because all we had to do was set the table. My oldest daughter's boyfriend, who grew up in a very conservative European country, made quite an impression on his second visit to our home when he cooked the dinner for us! Bev I do the cooking at our house .... I love cooking and I am an EXCELLENT cook. I don't know about more men cooking but honey, I sure have met SO many women who do not cook! I would never want to miss out on so much fun. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted June 1, 2003 Report Share Posted June 1, 2003 Ahhh Elaine- I hate the garbage funneled into our lives by t.v. also. Just once I'd like to see a commercial or t.v. show with the men skimpily dressed and the women fully clothed. I've always told my husband that if he expects me to work, I expect him to do his share of the housework. When I was working, he more than pulled his weight.
