You've Got To Love A Man Who Likes To Cook

This morning when I woke up my husband had already left for the gym. I made coffee and headed to the family room to return comments and other notification here on myLot. I still have a lot to go through but I'll be going to the gym shortly.
When he got home he asked me if I wanted some breakfast and of course I said YES. Anything would be better than my usual English Muffin with peanut butter on top.
In a few minutes he called me to the kitchen. I set the table and enjoyed breakfast with him.
He made spinach and cottage cheese omelets, hash browns from scratch, raisin toast, and small breakfast sausages. Do I have to mention it was delicious?
In another life, when we first married he was in the restaurant business.
I am a lucky woman.
Are there any more lucky women out there?
Have a great day and I'll see you all later.

Oh yes, I love a guy that can cook, especially if he does it well. If he does not cook or does not do it well but has other positive attributes, then he can always learn to cook better.

I am lucky because my husband loves to cook and can cook better than I can. He has often said if he could do it again, he would have gone to cooking school.

@PainsOnSlate my husband is the kind of cook who doesn't really follow recipes, he improvises a lot. He always does it right and spices the food right.

My husband's first job taught him everything about food and prep and making it look good.. He's good at it too. I think practice makes perfect and you don't need to go to school but it couldn't hurt.

@paigea I always ask if he need help but 9 times out 10 he says no. Occasionally he will accept my help but often its just my job to set the table and and do the dishes, he's tidy as he works so most of the cooking pots and pans and tools he cleans as he goes..

@paigea We must be sisters at heart. I love to bake and he cooks and shops. I agree about it being a treat...When we were younger he didn't' have time and I cooked for the kids but now retired the kitchen belongs to him.

@PainsOnSlate When he gets through, the kitchen is covered in grease and corn meal! But it's worth it.

This makes me laugh. Why Well my daughter never wanted to learn how to cook. I use to ask her how she planned on eating. She said if she can't find a man to cook for her then she'll keep looking. She did tell me that the man she did marry would have to do the cooking.
Hahaha she was true to her word. Her husband is a great cook and yes he does most of the cooking. Now that her daughter is older she has turned out to be quite a good cook herself. So my daughter is lucky she has 2 people who can cook for her now.

@PainsOnSlate Yes with all the stuff that is basically prepare in the stores it shouldn't be too hard to cook. But here on the islands I don't buy food like this and basically cook from scratch it is so much better for you.

That is exactly the way it works here too. I love doing dishes, I'm really good a filling the dishwasher too but I wash pots and pans and big thing by hand.

@PainsOnSlate That's what I do. The pots and pans don't fit in the dishwasher so well so I do them by hand too. Vince often rinses the pots if he gets the chance which makes washing up easier.

Yes, you are a lucky woman! Though I always think men and women should share the workload in the house, including cooking, cleaning up, I always think I am lucky as my husband likes to cook, does the housework, and also takes care of the children. I like when all the family members play a part and make the home more beautiful and warm.

@PainsOnSlate Yes, exactly.
Moreover, children always learn from the adults, especially the parents. My son will not have the thoughts that boys should not do certain work or this is girl's job as some other people have. He has been seeing the father doing all these work at home, even sewing, and he is happy helping to do some housework as well.

@kaka135 I think that's important too especially helping with the children. I loved that mine did that and ours grew up knowing they had two parents that loved each other.
