Do any of our Male members do the cooking at home?
I have been around for a while now and most of my mates couldn't even poach an egg:dodgy:
I enjoy creating a meal for Me and the Boss , Simply because she does every other thing in the house :ok:
Even If stuff the meal up she recons its great :wavemulticolor:
I am only home for about 3 months of the year (Couple of days here and a couple of days there) and have to do all the repairs and stuff around the house But I DO enjoy cooking and the Missus loves the fact that she doesn't have to do it ( and I recon that I am a FAR better cook anyway) I also clean up as I go :ok:
For example I cooked tonight a stir fry with prawns and Chicken with vegies in a great Asian sauce from scratch :dance2:
Even the grandkids went for seconds ( God bless Em)
The satisfaction for me is seeing the enjoyment when they eat something I have cooked, Very similar to finding a wavey or incused in your change as far as I am concerned .
So how many of you blokes take the time and effort to cook for the missus ?
Although I don't do the cooking, I do the washing up and putting away.....does that count.
Oh, I can cook boiling water!

As long as the Love goes into what you are doing, ALL is good Mate :yahoo:
My wife does night fill at Woolies, so I usually cook the meals each night,
although she is not there most nights to enjoy it with me. :(
I cook breakfast for my wife , on our wedding annversity,s ,
birthday,s , mother,s day,s and Christmas,s days =2 fried eggs on
tost and a cup of tea in bed for her ..
but on Christmas mornings I give her a extra treat , a slice of ham
with the eggs . then I even clean up the dishes for her after she
finishes her breakfast .. ,, kel ,,
Yeah I cook ,I had to learn quick when the Mrs left me with an 18 month old and a 3 year old about 10 years ago.The new Mrs does a lot of the cooking now but when she's not too keen I will
jump in there and whip something up
why are all the good guys taken! haha
I do all the cooking.
Mine brought this home from work today. [Pays to have a Bank Teller in the family.]

Maybe I should cook her dinner tonight. However, two problems;
•She is a much better cook than me
•She mostly won't eat my cooking because of my bad habits -namely using lots of hot spices and adding a slurp of wine.
Perhaps I should take her out to dinner instead.

I do the lot because the Treasurer works full time, has two members of her family in Nursing Homes and is knackered by the time she arrives home.! I love cooking braised meats, Old style soups and cooking in a tajine for some great Morrocan recipes.!
Have started making Seafood Laksa lately as brother in law swaps fish for wine every month.!! House Husband is not a bad career.!!:angel:

Both me and the Missus work and she treats cooking as a chore.
I on the other hand absolutely enjoy cooking.
"Seafood Lanska":drooling::drooling::drooling:
One of my favourite's is spaghetti Marinara.
I cannot for the life of me get the crackle right on Pork so that is down to the missus along with her amazing pea and ham soup.
I really love to cook because it is the ONLY time I am boss in the house:angel:
Trout I use Mum's Pea and Ham Soup recipe and get very few complaints.! In South Australia in the winter we have a dish Known as a Pie Floater. Pick your favourite pie and place it upside down in a Steaming bowl of Pea and Ham Soup with a splash of Tomato Sauce and a dash of Worcestershire sauce and "Voila"- Perfection.!!:yahoo:

In winter I think pea and Ham soup is the ultimate "Comfort food" :dance2:
Just try not to be in a lift or any other confined space with other people the next day :diablo::laugh2:
Yes I also do a bit of the cooking at home, especially when the boss is tired or not well.
Maybe some of you gourmet cooks can share some of your recipes.
