Indeed, just like the yellow snow; don't eat it!

Mind you, the yellow snow might just have had lemonade poured onto it, in which case it'd be delicious. Do ya feel lucky, punk?

It's also Valentine's day in Japan which means I will get to harvest chocolate all day long from googley eyed school girls and co-workers. I won't have to give anything in return. Only girls give out chocolate on Valentine's day here. Just wishing I didn't drink that loaf of bread last night in can form. I'm feeling a bit hungover.

So, what your saying is that hot asian chicks are going to give you chocolate because they are infatuated with you?

If only we were all so lucky

My wife usually doesn't want to, but occasionally whips up something great. She made a pretty killer Channa Biryani recently. But she's usually not interested in it, which is okay, as I enjoy it, and she handles laundry and some other stuff.

My mother is a ridiculously good cook. I was a picky eater growing up and regularly had visiting friends and company tell me how I didn't appreciate what I had. She's just retired and is working on a cookbook now.

I dated some women who couldn't cook at all. Didn't marry any of them.

For some reason, on Valentine's day Women give chocolate to men in Japan. I don't make the rules, I just live by them.

@FITZZ Why would she put clams in her mystery slop is beyond me. One time she made chicken soup by just pouring hot water on some raw chicken. We haven't had that in a good 10 years or so now...

Well, in her defense, the salmonella is usually on the outside of the meat.

Tell me more about myfashionstation.biz.

So you say you don't sell the cheap quality replica designer clothes products, eh?

My girlfriend is a capable cook but rarely does much more in the kitchen than whip up the occasional breakfast. I am typically the cook and neither of us seems to mind that.

My previous girlfriend was a horrid cook, however. No joke, when my mother was showing her how to prepare a rice dish that I fancied she (the girlfriend) actually asked what the purpose was of boiling water. Gotta give her credit for showing interest in a recipe that I enjoyed but it was hard to keep a straight face while hearing that gem of a question.

I don't have a girlfriend and I am such an awesome cook I need to loose weight and take pills to combat diabetes high blood pressure and high cholesterol.
fire the wife from the kitchen kornholio it is the only way to save the kids from whatever that was she made.

TBone salutes your avater.

She Who Must Be Obeyed cooks...ok. Part of the difficulty is I was raised on a lot of New Orleans food, and the Wife was raised Yankee, so she can't help it. On the positive her queso is excellent, and she is an absolute baking demon. Cakes, cupcakes, pies, she makes some awesome stuff.

My wife is a pretty good cook. But there are a couple things I make her stay away from. It its muffins or pizza of any kind, I kick her out. I dunno why, but she ALWAYS burns those. And Im talking, the entire thing ruined, not saveable burned

My wife can burn water.

I however, can make a mean Lasagna.

My wife is a peerless cook and she enjoys it. I loathe cooking myself, but don't mind cleaning up after meals so we have a pretty good thing going at the moment.

The kids suffer on those few occasions where we're forced to switch roles.

In my home, i'm 'Da Cleaner' and my girl is the chef! she doesn't do any housework as i'm a total clean freak but she makes the most awesome food! since meeting her my culinary expertise has at least doubled, so i'm going to have to say that my girl is NOT a bad chef, sorry I can't join the club!

and is it just me or does Albatross's pic look like he's giving that withering glare directly at me! I feel like he's pitying me! like some kind of white Mr T!

I learned to cook out of self defense/preservation... Not from Mom's cooking, she is an awesome cook and taught me some stuff, but my elder sisters. One burned water.... the other tried to make instant pudding using water (Pistachio mud anyone?). I have since become a fairly decent cook and currently live with another fairly decent cook (female roomie) and one that fancies himself (male roomie, female's SO) as the best in the house... But if he tries to serve me dry, undercooked white rice one more time......

I'd like to but, Frazzled family tradition has a strong culture of wives running over husbands (no joke) so I think...no...

...That's...sad,nontheless...you could always purchase the books for yourself,perhaps SWMBO will take an interest in them and try something new....if not perhaps I could freeze and ship you some Gumbo,Jambalaya or Shrimp Creole the next time I make some.

I put on around 60lbs since my wedding. My wife is far too good a cook. Her channa masala is to die for.

I'm the one who cooks, my wife (it's still wierd saying that, we've only been married 3 months) burns water

Here is a funny for those that cook... I have owned and used the same cast iron frying pan for over 20 years. That is longer than my last 4 relationships and my marriage... combined.

I love cast iron frying pans,of course you have to care for them...but it's worth it.
My younger Brother still has and uses the one that belonged to my Great Grandmother that she bought in 1918.

Seems a lot of guys do the cooking around their place (...it's the dawning of the Age of Aquarius, Age of Aquarius...), my self included. It just reminded me of my dad's horrible attempts at cooking of which I can remember two: One side cooked French Toast and raw on the inside hamburger balls.

Traditionally in my Family the men are the better cooks,when we all get together it often turns into a giant contest for bragging rights.

Well... I was directing my withering glare directly at Mrs. Albatross. She'd just asked me to smile for the camera. On a plane. I dislike flying.


Holy feth. I AM a white Mr. T!

Hey, do you like cooking or want to learn how to bake? Then read and use this book!

http://www.shop.blueribbonbaking.com/

This old lady has won over 2000 blue ribbons in state and county fairs. I have it and I started on the easy recipies (choc. chip cookies, snickerdoodles, ect), and am now working on the harder things. This is a great cookbook for baking. Every now and then she appears on Jay Leno's show.

The only things my dad cooked that was really worth eating was Spagetti and meatballs, sauce made from scratch.

Am I the only one who's noticed that cooking and baking seem to be mutually exclusive? I've known exceptions, though they have been few.

I can do both pretty well.

Its weird but it sure seems that way. I know on all the top chef shows I watch the chefs don't bake.
