Do you cook?

[My Wife Hates CIV]

Or even bake. I made 18 cup cakes today. To take in for work. I did get a BIG grill a couple of months ago. I have a gas stove - you know, 4 burners and the grill I got goes over the entire stove top. It's heavy, like 30 pounds. But it offers so much room to cook. You can make several omelets at a time. Really, you can cook anything on a grill. I did work at a resturant for 2 months as a line cook - just to learn. it was something else. and - i must say - i am pretty good now.

I do cook.

My specialties are mostly stuff you throw in the oven on low-ish and leave it alone for 2-4 hours; roast beef/chicken/pork -that last often becoming barbeque- and likewise for a couple boiled chicken dishes. I get stuck with a lot of the grilling outdoors in warm weather. I also used to be known as the Pizza God back in college.

those cake pans with the wood handles (i made those each) are for steaming. to cook faster. squirt some water under them and capture the steam.

I watched my buddy make donuts overnight, kinda lost my desire for them after that. I wish I knew how to cook, but now it dont matter much, my taste buds were ruined by either nasal spray or smoking so I can actually eat those not-so-pleasant foods that are good for me.

Sometimes. In most cases it's even edible!

Yes. In fact, I am a better cook than my wife. I will admit that she is a better baker.

As a graduate student I did very little (just pasta/etc). As a postdoc, I met my now wife, and started cooking a little with her encouragement. I cooked dal, and a few other things (we cooked lasagna together).

After we married, she took over all cooking and my skills atrophied. Recently she has desired for me to cook again, as she has started to work while returning to school (she returned to school almost 4 years ago). However, I am also very busy (I do most of the childcare, and I started a company focused on R&D), and she doesn't like my cooking. So basically, I cook pasta once again (the kids are happy with it), but my wife mostly refuses to eat it.

I cook when I have to but I usually prefer to dine out.

Get a grill. There is just something about it that makes cooking a science. your wife will like that - and your cooking.

My wife likes to cook and is very good at it, so I only ever cook one in a while, since I'm not a very good cook and I don't particularly enjoy it
