Can Your Husband Cook?

Monday, July 2. 2007

How many women cook the main meal of the day, on autopilot, knowing that the man in their life “can’t cook”? It seems to be a pretty regular thing. I think men are better cooks than they are given credit for – most of them are pretty motivated since they like food!

I think that we are confusing two skills here:


  • the ability to create nutritious and tasty food
  • the ability to feed a family when you come in the house hungry and uninspired after a long day at work.

The two are totally different skills, and they’re not linked! What kind of a cook are you?

I’m a shocking cook. Though I’m a huge fan of cooking shows – there’s something extremely theraputic about listening/watching Rick Stein, for example, cooking "simple" food! I can’t get the timing right and the resultant food always tastes like flour, regardless of flour being in the recipe.

I find that really surprising – especially as you’re such a fan of food :) I’m better with timings now but I still do a lot of baked things that are all in one pot so the meal only has to be ready at the same time as itself and you.

erm,

I’m a great cook. I’m normally given to modesty, but when I come back from work, if Claire’s not already back, I just get my knife out and get to work. I like trying new things but I also have a repertoire of good food I can just knock up without thinking about it. I’ve had to resist the temptation to get cable TV as I’d spend all my time watching cookery shows…. My mum made sure I knew how to cook before I left school, so I could always fend for myself.

Having said that, I love eating. You should never trust a skinny chef!!

Vince: I actually didn’t know you were a good cook, so the modesty is obviously working well!

Daniel: I completely agree. I do like and use Zend Framewor k, but I already have books about it. When I buy a book on a subject, I don’t really want lots of ZF content. I can on ly assume that because its seen as a “buzz word”, people fee l the need to include it in any books current being wr [...]

I agree with your issues about some of the book turning into a mini ZF tutorial book. I feel that lately a lot of spa ce has been wasted on PHP books re-explaining MVC concepts, THEN introducing ZF (or another framework). Chalk it up to p ublishers not wanting to assume everyone reading the b [...]

Berry__: For normal people that is probably true but I add all sorts of clues which are different per-server, and still find myself regularly confused about which machine I’m logg ed in to …

Although I kinda like the colors for tabs, I think it’s over kill to have different colors on different servers. To be ho unest, I think the name of the machine you’re working on (on the left) is clear enough when working with it. The only thing I tend to dislike in screen, is that it’s rathe [...]
