re: Who cooks better between you and your better half?

Me.....she used to cook when we first met. But id was really basic stuff....spaghetti w/ sauce from a jar. We met in the summer and when fall rolled around I made gumbo one time and she designated me the cook.

Her

My wife cooks what she cooks very good and very consistent. I cook a lot more stuff than her, so we both think I'm probably the better cook.

Your boyfriend will appreciate it..

I'm the better cook and it's not even close. It's not her fault. She was raised by terrible cooks who call themselves Italian but never cook Italian food. Her parents only know two seasonings: salt and pepper.

Her dad is worse than her mother. He owns a grill but only knows how to burn the shite out of everything he puts on it and finds a way to bitch at his wife for causing him to frick up every previously edible item that touches the grill.

My wife is allowed to make microwave popcorn and that's it.

Me, no question. He can cook, but he has no sense of adventure outside of his basics (meatloaf, red beans and rice, other dried beans, rice dressing, round steak and gravy, spaghetti sauce doctored from a jar). If I buy a roast and he beats me to cooking it, I get kind of pissed off because I like my roast better (don't tell him I said that).

He does a great job on the grill and the boiling pot. Also, pancakes and French toast are his domain. I've never tried to make either of those so that when our son wanted either for breakfast I could say, "Ask your father."

I've never lit a grill, either charcoal or gas. I'm considering an electric smoker, though, because maybe I could do that.

Me.

Except for when Eggs Benedict are involved. It's my favorite Sunday morning meal but I can't ever do it as good as my better half.

But it's understood that when it comes to grilling and pretty much anything else it's all me.
