How many men can cook?

[greygoose]

LMAO!

O.K. So all of you men who can cook, does your wife/girlfriend need to know how to cook? Would you date a woman who can not cook? Would you dump a woman once you found out she could not cook?

if its going to be a long term thing she needs to get with the program. i mean whats the point in living with a woman that can't cook especially since i dont like to eat out. a home cooked meal is just an essential part of......survival ( ) for me.
if im just casually seeing someone or testing the waters then it needn't be important. but if that transpires to something more it won't break the deal right away but something's gotta give. i mean i can only be with a woman who knows what my needs/preferences are and can accomodate accordingly (ex. cooking) it is not expected she cook 4 meals a day 7 days a week but she gonna have to come to the table with something

i think i took the long route but i hope that clarifies my stand


cooking is an art. im always looking for new ideas to implement in my kitchen

 

[greygoose]

if you want to step your cooking skills up to the next level take a wine class and learn the right wines that will bring out the taste in your food even better

actually it is the food that accentuate the wine





no. but to be honest this is an art form of knowing how to pair wine with food to accentuate your total experience (whether its dining, dinner, snacking, whatever you want to call it)
you need to understand light/heavy food with sweet/dry wines. or even light/full body wines.

the point is not to take bland food and make it better or take bad wine and make it better with good food....the point is to take good food and pair it with the perfect wine so that they enhance your dining experience.


THAT is something that's not easy to do. and i totallly agree with you a wine class would be essential to anyone that wants to further that experience. some people who drink wine alot learn on their own but its always good to get new wine ideas as much as possible from people knowledgable about wine.


and lets not get into cooking wine or cooking with wine.

It is not a deal breaker if my girlfriend/wife does not know how to cook. I would not dump her, and it would not stop me from dating her -- AS LONG AS SHE IS WILLING TO LEARN.

It would be great that I could teach her how to cook, and both of us learn some new things as well. Also, no place better to turn up the heat than behind your woman showing her stuff than the kitchen

 

[Hollywoodheat]

I live in so cal...i cant say it's a dealbreaker if she doesnt cook, you know how that goes but for the most part, they want to learn just no one taught em right.

My mother told me years ago that I loved to eat so I needed to learn to cook. Now she says that I cook alot of things better than she does. Fellas its not as hard as you think, the main thing is to treat it like sex an take your time.

My wife(s) and baby momma(s) need to know how to cook. Any female that wants to spend time with me besides sex has to know how to cook or clean. Because I'm a vegan and ain't nothing in any of these restaurants I can eat so we ain't eating out. ANd yes, I can cook both vegan and non-vegan dishes.

 

[OnnaReal]

I think its sexy if a guy can cook... we can get in that kitchen together and make some meals... that is always fun...

That's wazzup!

I like to start working together in the kitchen and keep working together the rest of the night.

Wake up, start working together on breakfast...

I was raised by my grandmother who was born in, as she would say: "Nineteen hunned and eleven...". She gave birth to my father in 1933 and was a single parent. She worked as a house keeper and nanny for a very wealthy family in Manhattan for decades. But at the same time? She was old School and at times quite radical about a whole lot of shit...

When I was a teenager she told me once: "Boy, you better listen up: Learn from me how to cook, clean, sew your own clothes and all of that. These here young gals coming up these days ain't like they was in my days. They too busy with their hand out asking you what you gonna do for them. They ain't trying to do nothing for you, so you'd be a fool not to know how to do for yourself..."

You had better believe I took that advice. Took it and ran with it as far as I could go. There is not one single domestic duty that is beneath me. So when it comes to cooking? Well, my wife keeps trying to talk me into writing a cookbook or starting my own restaurant. YES, I am THAT damned good...

 

[J-BOOGIE]

I hate propane. I can't get the flame right so things either get burned or they are undercooked. Also I need that charcoal flavor in my life. But propane is faster if the person knows how to use the grill.

I find the use of propane sacreligious...

LOL!!! I eat my wife's cooking to be NICE. She can't even SEE me when I'm in the kitchen. Not that she can't cook at all. But her range of dishes is limitted and she doesn't have the skills to make restaurant styled preparations like I do. Although she learns well and has developed a better sense of spices and flavors due to her exposure to my cooking experience...

 

[dbluesun]

i have tight domestic skills,,,i can cook,clean,manage the bills everthing,,,my favorite relationship in the past was with a chick that was a freak and could cook,,,,she would get up in the morning and make biscuits and gravy,eggs bacon the works,,,later she would cook dinner and i would help,,i miss that crazy bitch

 

[OnSlaught]

You know this thread is to bate us for making us admit that we can do domestic shit so it gets rubbed in our faces at some later point in time when we don't want to do it....you know that right???

I have to agree with J though, most of my skills in the kitchen came from my grandparents. Granddad taught me how to cook all the major meats and my grandma taught me how to make dishes and shit.

I do need a woman to teach me how to sew. My mom is way too busy for that shit! Any volunteers??

Oh, and my grilled garam masala talapia with garlic and lemon juice is fire! Make a side of stemmed vegetables on the side and some sweet potatoes with a pinch of sugar and butter and your good to go...

I used it correctly. I BELIEVE, that women are trying to escape from the act of cooking a good meal by rustling up the issue of men cooking. The more and more women I meet and come in contact with, the less I find can actually cook and more importantly, cook a good meal.

I also already plan on passing it down to my progeny. Now as far as you making BAIT threads, that's a whole different story that I know nothing about....

Here you go playa:

I normally pick up 4 talapia fillets for the recipe, but the # is up to you...

1. It's your choice to use either a grill or a wok. I pick depending on the occasion and how I want to eat it that particular day. Grilled fish is a favorite of mine, but the wok you can stir fry vegetables with it AND it holds the flavor of the herbs better IMO.

2. Use 1 egg and beat vigorously, adding about a small slice of butter or margarine to it. This will be used as your base to dip your talapia in before you throw it on the grill or wok at about medium high temp.

3. The second part can be prepared in 2 ways...
I. As a paste. You can mix 1/3 cup of lemon juice, very small slice of butter or margarine, 2 tablespoon of garam masala, your desired amount of pepper and salt (I use just a few pinches of salt and a decent amount of pepper, and crushed basil leaves with garlic powder sprinkled in. Apply this to the fish on both sides as a paste and let it cook on both sides for about a 1min and half each (always make sure it's cooked all the way through).

II. As a second base. It will look a bit messy, but the flavor is a bit more subtle. Like you did with the egg, dip the fillet into the mixture and then throw it on the grill/wok for about 1.5/2 min.

4. I usually use the left over egg to make a nice side dish of scrambled egg with a little cumin, salt and pepper/curry.

Enjoy!

I can cook a little bit...i'm still learning....

Yes,
I know how to cook... and I enjoy learning how to prepare new dishes.

But whatever woman that I am with NEEDS TO COOK... that is a DEAL BREAKER for me.

I don't mind helping out every now and again...but there is such a thing as division of labor in a relationship.

I love how some lazy women try to act like cooking is such a hard thing in order to justify them not doing it...like trying to crack the Da Vinci Code

Aint nobody saying you got to cook Thanksgiving dinner everyday. How hard is it to broil a steak? or broil a chicken? or bake some fish?
hell you can buy those skillet meals in the freezer section that have all the ingredient necessary where all you have to do is at the meat... and heat up!!

Just as most women have the ability to CUT THE GRASS, TAKE OUT THE TRASH, and TAKE THE CARS TO GET SERVICED. But when you are in a relationship...you aint trying to do that... that goes over to the MAN.

Just like I know how to cook....but that duty goes over into the WOMAN category when in a relationship

 

[mc2]

chef boyardee here.

Had no choice but to learn since when I first started to live on my own never really trust any woman to cook for me.

any man that cannot cook is a waste.

Cosign..

Cooking is not that hard as long as you can read directions and use correct measurements. I also had to learn how to cook when I started living on my own. I quickly got tired of fast food and TV dinners and just started experimenting.

I'm pretty good now and cook pretty much all of my own food.

 

[thoughtone]

I can cook in the kitchen and bedroom!

Thanks a lot! I usually get about 4 fillets myself, so the recipe works perfectly. I'll try it this weekend using my wok. I'll see if it gets something cooking other than the meal!

what jelouse that you are not self suficiant or let me guess you can cook but anyone else is trippin especially if its for his girl, go fig i must be a chump for cooking for my girl

 

[synyster]

Most these females nowadays can't even boil water...so I have no choice but to cook for myself

 

[OnSlaught]

Nah Shermin, I wasnt laughing at your cooking skills or who you choose to cook for, I'm @ that cluster-fuck you call a paragraph. I thought to myself, as much time his fam put into teaching this dude how to cook, they should've taught his ass how to punctuate and use a comma and period once in a while CORRECTLY! Don't mind me, I'm just trying to cope with a loss by laughing, but you have to admit that when you look back at that paragraph, it is like watching a train wreck!!
