My husband can do some eggs and noodles but the rest comes out of my hands....; ▶ Reply to This

I thought I'd hear more yes for the men.; ▶ Reply to This

Hubby does it once in a while--and we do it together once in a while too.

But I do most of it.

Sometimes he helps in figuring out what dinner will be. (and so do the kids!)

But I do most of the cooking--and he does most of the dishes! (I'm with you Eleanor!!)

It's not a bad deal now that I think about it!!! :); ▶ Reply to This

He will be making prime rib for Christmas Eve.

I don't enjoy cooking that much and don't really like eating big meals for supper - but my husband and daughter need full meals. They get a lot of left-overs and nights when I say 'Tonight you fend for yourselves'; ▶ Reply to This

He would be happy with a bowl of cereal, sugary kind of course and I of course plan the weekly menu by searching through every cook book and magazine, make 10 trips to the grocery. WHY? I guess I do it for myself! The kids are so picky, wonder who they learn it from...

I little venting doesn't hurt anyone.

Permalink Reply by Patty Gale on December 30, 2008 at 2:45pm: I did the cooking for a lot of years, then my husband started watching Emeril in 2004 and well, to make a long story short, he's taken over the kitchen for the last 3 years and does all the cooking, shopping and meal planning.

My husband makes a cheesecake to die for!

He did a week at the Culinary Institute in NY and now his dreams are to enter the culinary world somehow.
