Cooking is dope. Buy or Sell.

[Captain Beefheart]

I keep hearing from people, "Oh jeez, I can't cook anything besides pop-tarts." I remember in home-ec class in middle school, people would burn the simplest cookies, ones that would only take ten or twelve minutes in the oven. Do you have any trouble like that?

I love the speed and multitasking, the judgement calls and sudden inspiriations that turn it from a methodical process to an art. Mostly I WUV eating. If i'm cooking for more than a couple of hours, sometimes I loose my appetite from sampling (and snacking) so much along the way, but I always have room for at least a taste of each dish.

For all you single guys learn how to cook at least a couple nice meals, the ladies like it if you can cook. And if they can't cook they can clean the dishes like my girl, it's a perfect arrangement.

PS: I'm addicted to drinking marinated sea food. And if you're picturing me in this very old adobe kitchen cooking burritos with a victorian musket costume you're not far from reality. HA!

I do all the cooking, pretty much due to my wife becoming lazy. If I don't cook, she don't eat. On nights I'm not home for dinner she eats cookies.

We never had that.

Ok, that can never hurt.

the ladies like it if you can cook
Oh, that too. I was more thinking of the whole avoid starvation thing.

However I find that effort to cook a meal and tastiness aren't really correlated. This let to the fact that I've been only interested in preparation of food that is both very easy to do (level 2 - level 1 being putting a deep fried pizza in the oven). I don't like food that causes lots of pots and pans to get dirty during preparation.

And if they can't cook they can clean the dishes
I actually don't mind cleaning the dishes, or can't stand having heaps of dirty dishes standing around respectively.

I can cook a few good things, but I dont do it all that often. Its a lot more work then its worth sometimes to cook something big, and then theres the cleaning of all the pots and pans it creates. Steak, hamburgers, a few types of pasta's are easy but I dont eat steak all that often. I rarely cook anything complicated or time consuming.

It really isnt cheaper for things that require you to buy a lot of ingredients because many things go bad before your going to use them again.

That smacks of a poor excuse not to cook or an excuse for poor shopping. There's more to this grocery shopping than you might think!

But Beef's right; a man that can cook will never... go hungry. Or be short of company.
