Are you the one who cooks in the house?

I've always done all the outside grilling...to which we have now added smoking and deep-frying. My wife used to do 100% of the indoor cooking, but in retirement, I find that I truly enjoy cooking, so her percentage has dropped while mine his risen. Now, it's probably about 70/30.

Sweet! Just curious, surprised how many comments this got.

I've been currently on a slow cooker craze. I love how you and prep the bowl the night before and you come home to a hot home made meal.

Love to blacken a brisket in a cast iron skillet after cooking a few strips of bacon. put it in a slow cooker, like a roast with some celery, onions, carrots and potatoes. Dump in about 4 or 5oz of very coarse slightly spicy mustard (Wife doesn't like too spicy) and then go to work and let that cook all day.

The house smells absolutely wonderful when we get home that evening and the meat is so fork tender. We sometimes toss in some sliced wild mushrooms the last few minutes before serving to warm them up in the juice.

We both enjoy cooking and often do it together but I'll admit she probably does more often since we had our son. Sounds wonky but I take him and pick him up so she's home first.

She is twice as fast too but I think I'm a little better though

EX SWMBO and I both are awesome cooks.......possibly why we clashed.

Current GF is in awe of my cooking and I cook EVERYTHING. She cleans up and sucks a mean......um......ya know.

I do the bulk of the major type cooking... bigJohn is our grill master ( don't tell him that I can run the grill too). I can do just about anything in the kitchen from baking bread or desserts to sauces, to canning and jelly/jam making. 99% of the time all my food is fresh and never prepackaged.

Tonight, breaded some chicken and fried it, then sliced, then topped with a pile of rigatoni and some alfredo sauce. Side of wedge salad. Buttered toast. Me and my youngest boy are the only ones home, waiting for the Rays game to start.

BTW, I used to dip chicken in milk then flour it. A german guy told me to flour FIRST, then dip in milk, then bread crumbs. Makes all the difference.

Try soaking chicken in buttermilk for 30 minutes. Flour. Wait 20 minutes. Dip in buttermilk/egg. Coat in panko breadcrumbs. Trust me here.

Alright, I'll do that this weekend.

When I was younger I used to do pig roast and in general pit cooking. Then I started to do big pot cooking like crawfish boils; that's how I started brewing. But yes today I am the only cook in the house. It seems like home cooking has become harder for new cooks/people to get into since we lost the great chefs on food channel.

I do almost all of the cooking. More often then not, I do the cleaning afterwards too - regardless of who cooked

This sounds all to familiar

My wife and I both cook. Whoever has the time does the cooking. I would say I am the better cook in the sense that I worked in resturants and can make recognizable dishes. You need a note from your cardiologist before you are allowed to sit down to one of my breakfasts and I like to cook Szechuan style. I am able to cook without hot peppers but feel it is somehow just wrong.

My wife grew up in an environment where "no money" was a good month. She is able to make something delicious out of seemingly nothing. If she has a well stocked cupboard, she can amaze. It's just never exactly the same twice in a row.

Since I'm retired and my wife is still working, I do most of the cooking.

I've been cooking professionally for 33 yrs so I do all the cooking in the house but she does all the baking.
