Real Women

[SpursWoman]

i've been staying at home for only 16 months. I've been cooking since I was 12 for a family of 5. then i got married and I swear I was cooking the same amount of food for just 2 people!

also, everythign I cook only takes 20 min. s of hands on work... otehrwise I won't make it. So thats not alot of time.

I use diced tomatos, garlic, basil and butter.

Of course, another problem I have is I have a hard time getting my kids to eat anything that doesn't look like it came from McDonald's...and besides them there was only me so I wasn't going through all of the trouble for something they wouldn't eat or fight me about anyway.

Now that User's around, though, I cook a lot more and he makes them eat it....whatever the it is.

[Clandestino]

yeah, good cooking doesn't have to take a long time.. i can cook just about anything in 20-30mins...

my gf on the other hand... whew! if she is going to cook, i better make sure i'm not already hungry bc i'd starve to death..but if i'm not hungry and she decides to cook it is fine bc by the time she is finished i'm hungry! the first time she made me breakfast(eggs, pancakes, potatoes), it took 2 hrs! i you not!

I'm a firm believer that a knowledge of cooking basics is a MUST for any person.
However, I guess oyu can say I'm old fashioned in that I thik a "real women" should know how to cook. She should know how to shopwell, plan a menu well and cook without a recipie. I can't stand it when people can't cook worth crap.... maybe it's because I'm very very frugal and I just picture in my mind all the $$ they are wasting on processed pre-prepared meals and fast foods.

Personally my DH has said many times that he would've married me if I was 900 lbs and bald as long as I could still cook the way that I do. I take that as a compliment.

I pretty much can cook anythign and everything. I cook most everythign from scratch.

I buy rice, flour and cooking oils in bulk to save $$. I make my own bisquit mix in large batches to last months at a time. I make pancakes from scratch. I make maple syrup from scratch.
I can pull most meals "out my ass" as by looking at my pantry you'd have never guessed that I had enough to make that.

and it frustrates me to no freakin end to be invited to a friends house for sticky pasta and Ragu. uuuuuughh.

Come and cook for me. I am tired of rotating whataburger and wendys each night.

I can cook, I just don't like to.

I love to bake, though. But mostly for the dough

[angel_luv]

How did this thread go from Dove soap ads to dirty, itchy balls?

and now to cooking??????

See, that's me. I love baking.....as a matter of fact, I've got to bake cakes for 100 people when I get home. Wanna come lick the bowl?

User sounds like my mom. We were gonna eat waht she made or we could sit there and starve for all she cared. One time my brother threw some big fit over him wanting hotdogs instead of porkchops. He wouldn't eat it and she made him sit there at the table all night. finally around 1030 he ate his food and promptly went to bed. man he was stubborn.

And?


It's not any worse than the razor thread.

Well...I like eating cake and freshly baked goodies, so feel free to send some to Philly anytime you want, Oh Modern Woman

[Clandestino]

i'm still shocked some dude washes his balls with LAVA!

[ObiwanGinobili]

:vomit ewwww. sick.

i'm picky on my fast food. I'll occasionally get a Jumbo Jack. But I can't really stand anythign else.

[Shelly]

I know someone who mills her own flour! I think that has you beat, obi!

She also gets up early and makes her crepes and the like before school. Sheyit, I don't get up any earlier than I have to. We get up at 7 and our out the door by 7:30ish

Is your mom Joan Crawford?

ok.
it's not like the whole 30 min. shower is spent rubbing a bar or lava on his balls. He does have a whole body thats pretty grimmy from work to clean.
Also he works up a latehr in his hands and then cleans his balls. there is NO rubbing of the lava bar on the sack.
If that still gives him balls of steel then so be it.

[angel_luv]

I know how to cook. I just don't care to go through the fuss and have to clean up a mess when it is just for myself.

I am fine with take out/ warming up ready made pruducts. My goal is to eat not be fancy about it.

BTW, Timmy is right about the Heb ready cooked meats... delicious! = )

Anybody else besides me who didn't need that mental image?

[ObiwanGinobili]

my mom just refuses to give in. She's freakin tough. but she had to be the 2 parents in 1 thing seeing as how my dad was an absent alcoholic deadbeat.

Well, that was me....but my son has spent the whole night there. Seriously.
