Not quite the right group but we're helpful enough here. You may want
to try alt.rec.cooking (I think that's the one). This place is mainly
for Mercedes Lackey fans but we like food, too. <G>

Noooooo! Then cooking would be *work* and they wouldn't want to do it at
home for the wife. You need to find a weekend/hobby cook. Trust me on this
one.

My husband John loves to cook--you should taste his spaghetti
sauce! Unfortunately, a bad leg keeps him from doing as much in
the kitchen as he would like.

I thought I had one, but it's a much older one for the GE model Jet80,
and that's only a microwave. Sorry!

Since when was loving to cook unusual in a man? All through my
childhood and my adulthood I've know several who did, with my own father
topping the list at all times. <smile>
In fact, I doubt it's much less common to find a man who loves to
cook than to find a woman who does. Not when you insist on the _loving_
part. <smile> It may be true that more women get stuck with it, but when
you limit to folks who truly enjoy it.... <SLOWLY SPREADING BIG SMILE>
Oh, and for the record, I'm neither particularly skilled nor
particularly eagar at cooking. When it comes to cooking, my specialty is
salad... and these days, I've trouble managing even that. <wry smile>

As I said, unusual, not impossible. I know plenty of men myself that
enjoy serious cooking. However, in my experience, cooking indoors
(bar-b-quing is a different story) is not a typical "manly" thing to
do.

Hmmm...never though of it that way. All the women in my experience
enjoy cooking...well, except maybe my mother-in-law. She's not too
thrilled about cooking so she leaves most of it to my father-in-law.

<Nod> I notice "intricate", there. Men like to take an item that can be
prepared easily in 30 minutes with minimum fuss and mess, and make it
very complicated and make a huge mess, leaving that for whoever usually
does the meal. The theory, I understand, is that you have to really
work hard to make it taste right. I really don't complain much when my
husband decides to cook, though, since I'd rather clean up a huge mess
than cook the simplest meal. Besides, men who cook usually cook quite
different things! Hubby's favorites are Cajun dishes. I try to leave
the house when he's cooking his roux, though. Phew!

Oh, don't get me wrong. I like the simple meals, too. I make a mean
stir-fry and do pretty good at some pasta dishes, too. Not a lot of
mess or fuss with it. And, I do all the clean-up anyways (yes, a man
who does the dishes...voluntarily I may add)

And so I add my 2 pennies:
My dad cooks most of the everyday meals, and my mom does the holiday stuff.
My
dad loves to cook, and it became a necessity anyway when my mom became a
paramedic who worked 24-hour shifts 12 miles away :-) He has his own
recipes for things, including one called Beef du Fiergenholt (I am not
certain of the spelling, but it is Old English for "mountain wood"...a
reference to where we lived when I was born and he made up this recipe). It
is very good, and a family favorite.
Kris
p.s. my dad does usually make a mess when he cooks, but he usually does the
dishes as well!

I've got a very good friend who can only cook egg and chips or pre-cooked
chicken and chips or fish and chips, or heat up a pizza. She blames her
mother, who would never let her near the kitchen because she 'got in the
way'.
I don't enjoy cooking but have to because there's nobody else to do it for
me - I had to take over doing the cooking when my mother reached a certain
stage of frailness. Basically I learned when I went hostelling and camping
- you cooked for yourself or you went hungry - but working with one primus
also meant that you got pretty good at shoving everything into one dixie
and heating it all up together - I still invariably put meat and veg into
the one pot to cook. Though most of us weren't quite as bad as the chap
who added custard to the mix, on the grounds that it all got mixed
together in his stomach anyway...

I've never really seen much point in a meal that takes longer to prepare
than it takes to eat... Don't mind leaving it in or on the oven for a
couple of hours, that's not really preparation time. I do tend to live out
of the freezer, though - take a day of cooking once every two or three
weeks, then freeze everything in portion-sized portions.

I'm not fond of cooking, but I do like eating, and I don't much care for a
diet of warmed-up canned or frozen food. I did learn the basics from my
mother, though, she didn't complain we got in her way; she got us to
'help'! So I learned the basics young; after that, there's not much to
basic cooking because you can read cookbooks, know the basic skills, and
know enough to stay away from the kind of recipes that will require every
pot in the house, at least two trips to different specialty stores for
ingredients, and careful attention to temperature.

I'm a great fan of stews, soups and casseroles. I almost never cook the
meat and veg type meal - if I do, the vegetables always go in the same
pot.
I knew a guy who claimed that when he was doing some kind of bird study on
an uninhabited island, he and his buddies didn't wash their pots - they
left them out for the seagulls to clean! Now, that's going a bit far for
me.

I find a tallish stool invaluable in the kitchen. It doesn't help my
lack of interest in cooking, or my problem with knives. (Knives are
unusually dangerous for me to handle because of my balance.) However, it
helps me with just about everything except my worst balance spells. It
gets me off my feet, keeps me stadier than them, and still lets me be
the right height for the counters and such.

That's my job. Even when I don't make dinner, I'm the household
dishwasher. Hey, I figure that Amethyst does all this work around the
place all week long. I may not have a whole lot of time to help out
with household chores but washing dishes is one less thing she needs
to worry about.

I used to have a wonderful tall bar-stool type stool for my kitchen.
I would perch there with my nose in a book, stirring various things
while they cooked or waiting for the timer to go off, etc. Now that's
the sign of one serious book addict! =]
Of course, that was in the pre-kids days, no chance of that much free

Oh boy, do I resemble that remark! t one stage there I was down to
one book every two weeks, instead of my usual one or two a day. Don't
worry though - it does get better. Now that my younger one is three
I'm finding more time for the essentials of life. One book every two
days now! Athena is in pre-school four days a week (half-day
sessions) which makes life easier. Next year when she's in school and
Ish is in preschool will be even better!

You too? I love to do the dishes. Normally everyone leaves me alone
while I work in the warm suds. It's very relaxing and I get to think
my own thoughts without interruption. Very nice.
I'm also a decent cook because when the children were young, my wife
and I both worked in the same area for the same company. The company
went to a three-day work week and we arranged to take opposite ends of
the week so that there was always someone at home with the kids.

I usually enjoy doing the dishes for all the same reasons. Sometimes
it gets to be a pain but, you know, I don't mind it too much.
Amethyst does so much during the week that I just _have_ to do
_something_ around the house.

If Sarah says, "No thanks hun, you go relax.", that translates to,
"Leave me alone so that I can do it the way that I want it done."
Never argue with them when they say that. You'll have plenty of times
later on when they will want your assistance. It's better to be there
when they want you than to not be around when they need you. <G>

How true. <G> That does happen sometimes around our place but usually
it's more like we both don't want the other to do any work because we
both had rough days.
