Naw, women shouldn't be chained to the stove — it chips the enamal.

Seriously, my reaction to that goof would have been are you really that stupid, or just lazy? I used to cook for myself all the time and I loved to cook for company. Now I don't get the chance much because the Yorkshire Tornado considers the kitchen HER SPACE and I dare not get in the way. I get to do the cleanup, but the cooking is HERS.

I don't complain too much because, despite considering myself an adequate cook, she is a chef. Knows spices and herbs and combinations I've never even thought of. So she enjoys the creative side of the food thing and I do the drudge work. Works for me.
