re: Who cooks at your house?

My wife does most of the cooking during the week, but I do a lot of it on weekends or when we have company over.

Zack, that's pretty bad, you have me beat. Our deal is I do all the cooking, she does the dishes.

We both think we have the best end of the stick.

I think that because this is a mainly Louisiana board you will find that a lot of the men cook. I come from a family of four boys and we all can cook. It's more a part of the culture in Louisiana than other parts of the country. Growing up, my mother would do all the cooking because she was a fantastic cook and she was from Cajun country and dad was from New Orleans. He would cook one main dish and mom would do everything else. Men cook in Louisiana, with pride.

We share it, but I do most of the dishes.

Husband does: Weekend breakfast (except homemade biscuits), jambalaya, gumbo

I do most other stuff, but when he gets hungry he comes in and starts helping. I usually do all the prep work for anything we cook, so even if he cooks jambalaya, I cut up the veggies & meat.

I do about 80 percent of the cooking while the mrs.does most of the cleanup duties and loves to bake.

woman. but that is because im the only one who lives here.

I rarely eat dinner at home because I work/go to school/have a boyfriend all in Baton Rouge, and I live with my parents in Central. If I am at home, my Mom generally does the cooking, but my Dad will cook like 25% of the time.. it's not uncommon or anything.

I'm generally with my boyfriend at dinnertime though, and when we cook, it's pretty much always me. I passionately love cooking so he lets me have that. Plus, he loves being my guinea pig when it comes to new dishes I want to make.

I will be moving out with my best friend in August and we both adore cooking so we'll likely take turns.

well..considering my household is me, a 12 year old boy and an 8 year old girl..its me.

eta before the div..it was also 90% me as well. my ex was a hottie but she was lazy and a shitty cook.

Her: "I don't cook often, but when I do I usually burn something and it's too hard to clean up so I just throw the pots away and buy new ones."

i have a roommate like this. except she is using my pots and pans. we had to have a little chat about what she is and isnt allowed to use. cant wait to move out!
