Here's a link to the old thread.

Tree just handed me a plate of dessert. I'm never going to admit it out loud but she is a better cook than I am.

If I can find a man that will WILLINGLY cook for me, he can chain me to anything he wants! Okay, maybe NOT to a moving car...

Peg, take it as the compliment that it was intended as....besides I strongly doubt he would look anywhere as good as a certain oak tree I keep hearing about.....

Men! Isn't that just like them? Ask them politely to do something and they can't be bothered. Mention the slight chance of shall we say "physical enjoyment" and they're ALL over it! *VBG* Just kidding, guys! We love you for your musical talents as well.

Slight chance ? Stop using sex as a weapon ( Pat Benitar ? ) and you'll get more "something" done than you thought possible. And I'm not going near the musical talent stuff.

So why is it that guys who would never be caught dead cooking in the kitchen are the ones most addicted to outdoor grilling and barbecuing?

Because it gives them a chance to do two things their mothers never would allow them to do: play with fire and play with their food at the same time.

Amergin; the oak tree in question is a 300 year old one, and no I am not chained to it! (though I would do if it meant saving it from being cut down).

I know plenty of guys who like to/can cook. I wouldn't call myself a "good cook" because I pretty much do it by the seat of my pants--I'm never really sure what or how much of it went into something--but almost everything I've done has come out A-OK (to the never-ending astonishment of my mother, who considers me hopelessly un-domestic). Maybe I'm just lucky.

Nevertheless, it is time-consuming and any man that chains me to the stove gets a burner-tattoo on his forehead.

Who said anything about physical enjoyment? All you said was we'd get to chain you to something.

I just like to cook, and if you came over I'd cook you something nice.

Always free eats at my house for mudcatters. No chains, but they must SING FOR THEIR SUPPER. Or play an instrument. Or dance nude. No exceptions.

C'mon Karen. Any real man - or woman - knows what you meant. Back rubs ? I can get a reasonable back rub on the door frame.

Why do men enjoy BBQing ? Because it gets them away from the wife for a brief respite from all that nagging doublespeak crap and they can listen to Pat Benitar if they like.

Mousethief, I'm sooooo looking forward to din-din at your place. Now have I got this right? You have some old oak tree you're willing to chop down and use for firewood to light up the barbecue?

Mousethief, if that's what you're planning to do, you don't need female companionship...

P.

PS: Q: Why do women have smaller feet than men?

A: So they can stand nearer to the stove.

Q: How many men does it take to open a beer bottle?

A: None. She should open it before she brings it to you.

Amergin: Telling whom?

Midchuck: what exactly are you referring to with your pronoun, "that"?

Perhaps you meant "stroganoff" as a kind of food.

I though maybe you referred to an activity.

Alex... if your BBQ is not very old, the food will taste better as time goes on as long as you use it often and clean only the grill. When you replace the lava rocks, replace only two thirds at a time. This will retain the "flavour" built up in the dirty rocks.

GUEST Karen:

About thirty-eight years ago, on about my third date with the lovely lady who is my wife now, I invited her to my apartment for dinner. I served her chilled orange-and-carrot soup, a cheese souffle, and a dessert I forget now. I also forget what the wine was.

Some years later she confided to me that, although she didn't say so at the time, that was the night she decided she was going to marry me.

I have impressed a number of women with my Partridge Stew but none of them were impressed with my seemingly constant absence from the first of October to the end of November combined with my inability to take any vacation during the rest of the year becasue my work was too important to take any time off for vacations "together".

I did take my ex on a luxury wilderness vacation experience during one October, but she wanted to go home after the very first night of our environmental adventure just becasue a pack of eastern brush wolves got curious when she went behind my thirteen foot travel trailer after dark to experience the call of nature in the wilds. Hell, I even gave her my old twenty guage for her birthday so she'd feel safe when she went to pee in the dark.

You just can't please some women.

Sooo, what I'm reading is gnu will provide the meat and mousethief will cook it. It still works for me! I'll bring the wine and corner mousethief's wife so she can tell me just how she got her husband to do all this cooking for her. I could use some tips and she seems to be the girl with the answers.

Actually the thing that probably clenched it for my wife, back when she was just somebody I was meeting for the second time, was taking her up to Mt. Rainier with a ice chest full of sandwich fixin's and my guitar. We sat underneath the glacier with the cool wind blowing through the thin mountain sunshine, munching turkey sandwiches, while I serenaded her with folk music.

Take it from me, guys -- you don't need to know how to cook.

Although I do. Very well, in fact. For which fact I thank my grandmother (God rest her soul).

Look, don't count on the orange-and-carrot soup unless I can get a recipe. If you all could bring some fresh veggies I'll whip up a dip.
