kimmers,

Might be he doesn't make it with anchovies 'cause he's veggie (that's my reason, anyway) or because lots/some of the people who'll be eating it are veggies.

I am another of the males around here who is a pretty good cook. In my case, I got it from Mom. She always used to bake bread and I grew up knowing how to do it. She had me cooking from the time I could actually reach the top of the stove (on a stepchair *G*). A good 'cook' but an excellent 'baker'. Everyone always asks me to bring my fresh bread to parties. (An' I just found a neat recipe for "Beer-Cheese Bread", kind of biscuit-y with beer and cheese. Any other similar recipes would be appreciated. I really want to find a yeast bread made with beer. Nummy!)

I agree about "prepared meals". Blech! But I will admit to buying two or three frozen pizzas every month for that evening when I get home from work and am JUST too bushed to cook. (When you cook for yourself, you can get away with that once in a while *S*)

But for the holidays, it's up to my folks' place. Don't do nothing but wash dishes after ... and lie around bloated *L*
