Can Cook, Won't Cook

hi theIrishClog Nope myhusband was a professional cook and he loved to cook at home and he also loved to eat his cooking but he always dirtied every pot and pan in the kitchen Also he never ever washed dishes but I found that a good trade as the dishes he prepared were always so good I did not mind doing the dishes while he cooked a meal. we often traded off.when I was widowed I found out that I loved to cook and found new and interesting dishes to try out.

Oh no...not anymore. I have been the resident chef for many years of my life. It was very repetitive and I really tried to do a lot of new things. Me and my b/f have been together now for almost 5 years. I have cooked a meal maybe 10 times in that period..maybe. He is actually a great cook and loves to do it. I have suggested that he opened a restaurant before because he is amazing. My weight has now leveled off at 130 pds. I was maybe 115 when we met.

My hubby understands when he sees take out food on the table. He knows that there are days when I don't want to cook and since he can't cook, he doesn't really push it. There are also days where we would just eat out so that I don't have to slave in the kitchen. I love to cook though and also baking. It's just the dish washing part that I hate about the whole process. I also have a weird of habit of clearing all the dishes, chopping boards and knives that I use as I cook. I also chop meat and veggies in a precise order so that by the time I finish sauteing, I can wash the chopping board and the bowls that I used to place my prepped items.

well, i do most of the cooking but my hubby is way a better cook than i am and i am fortunate that he really likes to cook. i always look forward to his cooking.

My dad was and is still the chef in the house. My mom doesn't even cook at home whenever she comes back from business trips. If ever she does cook it would only be on special occasions. I've tried preparing some meals for my family before and they kinda find my cooking pretty good. They even say that I have a future in being a chef but I think they're just saying it to make me prepare food all the time. I've noticed something similar to yours that whenever I cook I don't feel like eating after I'm done preparing the food. I don't taste test so I don't get full from constant checking how it tastes. I just loose my appetite which I feel is not fair because I don't get to enjoy my creation as much as they do.

It doesn`t matter who does the cooking, ironing, cleaning or whatever... Everything can be discussed and a deal can always be made :) In fact, I made an agreement with my girlfriend that when we move in together, I will do the cooking (yes, I know, it sounds strange, but she can`t cook...) and she will do the ironing, cleaning and similar stuff. :D

Used to be when I was wedlocked. Now though I am because of necessity. I'm living with family again for the time being and if I want anything good I have to buy it and cook it myself pretty much. I do get tired of cooking myself though because I am usually starved when I go to cook, that's just how I am, I wait.

I have the same. Have to cook fast otherwise I lost my appetite.

The funny thing is that I was once married to a cook, he cooked home-cooked meals in a hospital. He was a good cook but when we were married he never wanted to cook at home because he said he was tired of it and cooked all day and that it was my job as wife anyway. Needless to say it's part of the reason we are no longer married.Ha! Ha!

I live with my sister and we have kind of an agreement. She cooks, I do the dishes. It works for us since she likes cooking and I don't mind cleaning up. Besides, I usually eat whatever you put in front of me, so the days I actually cook no one can tell if it's going to be edible or what...
