I have to twist DH's arm half the time to just get him out to the grill.
And forget the kitchen! He will cook if I'm not here or sick but most of the time it's pizza.

I grew up cooking jj. From the age of 12 I did everything I could to learn how to cook as well as my parents and every relative I have. At 47...I'm pretty damned close if not spot on, LOL. When my MIL is cooking Cajun, she gives me a call to make sure she's doing it like I do it, but the thing is she is a VERY good cook. I think she just wants authentic.

Everyone here likes pizza night. Making the dough is the "worst" part of the whole endeavor, except maybe waiting for it to rise.

Pizza is good too, though. I like pizza night sometimes!

I grew up cooking too. My granny was my first teacher. She started me off small, my cinnamon toast & oatmeal breakfasts, and as I was better able to see & reach the stovetop, other stuff followed, mostly "home-style" country food. She figured it was important for a man to know how to cook for himself. She also taught me how to sew so I could do basic repairs, hem my pants, peg my jeans, etc. God, how I loved that woman! Still miss her to this day.

My folks felt the same way so I learned how to cook and how to do basic sewing. I've never understood when people would teach their daughters how to cook but not their sons! First of all, he's going to be single for a while at least and he should be able to take care of himself. And besides that... what better way to win over a girl than to cook for her?!? When I turned eleven or so I was responsible for one meal a week for the family. I had to figure out what I wanted to make and have a list of what I needed to my mother a few days ahead so she could pick it up and then I had to cook the whole meal from scratch. I did that one night and my sister did it another night. If it was anything I hadn't made several times, mom would hang out in the kitchen and help me out, but I had to do most of it myself. It really gave me a good basic knowledge of cooking that I expanded on when I got older.

My mother had MS, by the time I was 10 she was confined to a wheelchair, so I did majority of all cooking cleaning and sewing from then on.

Thanks KK it isn't easy learning when no one is able to show you.

Sometimes, life just expects you to sink or swim. :/

 

[CountSmackula]

True that. All too often.

[mattiem]

Growing up my job was tea and corn bread. I still make a really good pan of corn bread and now most anything else that involves just plain ol' country cookin'

 

[jj2]

[mattiem]

[IronHorse]

[CcaT]

My specialties are generally things that end with "and gravy".

 

[mattiem]

Pies are good but I'm partial to cake myself. Come on down and I'll cut you a hunk.

 

[vsummer1]

I am making a "pie" "with gravy". A nice cottage pie! Just took it out of the oven, started the braise yesterday because it's always better the 2nd day, topped it with mash tonight and it's cooling now. YUMMO!
