Bad cooks (women)

Believe it or not, a woman's well prepared dish can really charm the husband. Culturally speaking, a woman's dish is one of those qualities (in women) that make their husbands love them more. (I know most men are generally bad cooks:D;))

But, how about women who are very bad cooks? Such a marriage....:dunno :confused :shrug

it's not yet the end of the world for them you know they can take culinary courses or learn from the internet....:Dconstant practice makes you perfect. Cooking is just like that. :thumbsup


If the man can polish my specialty 7 plates of buko pie and 7 containers of spicy foods then we're good to go:lol:D:toofunny
 
If someone is unhappy with the quality of their spouse's cooking, they are more than welcome to take over the culinary duties. If you have no intention of preparing the food, you can eat what is served or go hungry :P

My wife won't let me cook. That is woman's work. I need to spend my time to do the man's work.

That's funny. I think she has her reason.

My dad used to cook. He was a powerful cook...and we all enjoyed his dishes. He doesn't do that anymoe...'cause he has us to that. (Although he likes sneaking into the kitchen while mom cooks and does something something something with the fried meat, yam chip etc)
 
Now that's unfair.
It sounds very much like womens' lib to me.
Whatever problems that arise in a marriage, the two need to sit down and talk about it, pray about it, and work together to do something about it.
If a women has a problem with something her husband does, they need to do the same thing.
I know, there are a lot of fun poking on this thread.
I just thought I'd add some truth to it.

Yeah I'm one of them. :-( If a man's love for me depends on my cooking skills I'm pretty much lost and doomed to stay single forever.
But there's hope.
My father was the great cook in my family, not my mother. He still loves her, they have a good marriage.
My ex boyfriend knew how bad a cook I was (I tried to cook for him a few times, it was a disaster :oops) and loved me non the less.

Unfortunately [edit: actually the word "unfortunately" is a bit of a bad word choice here... :lol] my parents put a lot of emphasis on my academic education and never taught me how to cook or bake stuff (or any other housekeeping stuff) and later I wasn't patient enough to teach myself more than what is absolutely necessary for a student's survival (cooking pasta). I'm kind of hoping God will give me a husband that loves domestic work and cooking. I can do the repairs around the house in turn.

Claudya, I am right there with you. We have been married over 49 years and my husband still can't stand my German cooking, even
Though he did give me a German name. He likes the bland English fare and I learned to use relishes of all kinds, lots of tomatoes, onions
And roots, I can't stand to look at a kidney let alone put it in a pie. He can't cook either, more than eggs, putting something in the micro-
Wave or warming up soup and making a sandwich. Believe, me, we have both prayed about this but I doubt that we have been in agree-
Ment. IT has probably been those famous prayers in which the husband prays "Lord, change my wife" while the wife is beside him praying
"Lord, change my husband", so their prayers just rise to the ceiling and neutralize!
When I was in high school my dad became very ill and could not work. MY mom worked full time at minimum wage. WE were too poor for
Her to take a chance on my cooking the meat. So there was a strong learning curve after I got married. We survived that, but not the
Cultural differences in taste. SO in our case I guess God gave us the grace to endure---I think it is called long suffering.
 
the women as a general rule cook better than the men, and it is a(-nother) reason they to be more loved, but personally i prefer to love my wife not on account (of) her well culinary skills

Blessings
 
It's amazing that this topic gets so much attention in our day and age at all... :lol
I'm half convinced Classik made a bit of a troll thread here.

Being a bad cook nowadays looks bad on a girls resume, lol. Especially with the internet and sites like Allrecipes.com.

Well then beeing a bad cook looks bad on a guy's resumee, too.

A lot of women work to help with bills in today's world, it's no big deal to help her in the kitchen. Women work hard around the house and appreciate the help. Beside, it's fun to help her and cook.

Why is it still "helping her in the kitchen"? Why not "equally share the houshold work and responsibility"? I'm not working to "help with the bills", I work because I'm 50% responsible for the family income. (That being said I'm single and it's all theory right now...)
 
I believe no woman is a bad cook. Everyone can learn cooking. My parents are excellent cooks. We ourselves are excellent cooks. Everyone who lived with us went home excellent cooks. Being a good or better cook is by choice. [Something funny happened somewhere. A female wouldn't help the mom in the kitchen. She was a very rich girl who only cared about sweets and novels tv etc..she continued like this until she got married. The day she cooked for her husband...she performed magic. She had added sugar in either rice or soup (Can't remember the dish). Very funny. *******************I think the bible somewhere emphasises a woman's 'good cooking ability'. No wonder why some men in some cultures require at least two very important things from their wives: kitchen and bedroom wonders.*****************A lot has changed today. Every work is now 50:50. That is good for a couple - provided there's love in it. Certain home stuff are feminine or masculine (sterotyped, some would add)
 
Cooking is a life skill that everyone needs, not just women. But, I guess we do live in a somewhat stereotype household. Steve works long hours and often doesn't come home at all. I take care of the kids and do the main cooking/cleaning/home stuff. When Steve is at home (which is really only on the weekends), I want him to be able to relax, not do any housework or chores...although he will still throw a load of laundry in (because really, where is there never any laundry to do.)

However, part of "taking care of the kids" is raising the little darlings to be fully functioning capable adults, so now a lot of the housecleaning is on them...and it's split 50/50 between my son and daughter. Both are good cooks and both know how to do laundry, vacuum, dust, clean a bathroom, make a bed, etc. My daughter does all these jobs beautifully, but complains that she has to do them. My son does the jobs with a good and cheerful attitude, but really isn't that great at getting things actually clean...however, he is a really good cook!!! His specialty is Sole... he fries it and it is the best doggone fish that anyone could possibly imagine!
