HELL YEAH I CAN COOK!!! in my family its kinda mandatory for not only a girl but fore EVERYONE to know how to cook
Amen -- I think everybody ought to know how to cook "something." Brothers who are inept in the kitchen do no impress me.
Me? I can cook, but I don't like to. I don't do desserts, though -- don't like 'em and don't know how to make 'em. But my brain is fried and my body is tired when I come home from my job. I don't feel like standing up to cook, washing dishes, or any of that stuff.
Now, if I had a husband that could sit my tail down and be at home everyday, like my dad did for my mom, and we can still live a comfortable life with just him working, I'd learn how to cook any cuisine he wanted: French, Italian, Thai, Cajun, Mediterranean, Chinese, Mexican, Jewish, Martian -- I don't care --whatever.
I think Thanksgiving food is on everybody's minds, I was looking up "corn" recipes this morning. But here you go, from cooks.com...
