Does your dh cook?
Gabe is a good cook, but doesn't cook often. He does make breakfast at least one day over the weekend and will occasionally make dinner. I don't expect him to cook more, but like the change when he does. I am bored with making the same old things.

Dh cooks breakfast every Sunday morning. He makes pancakes, bacon, sausage and eggs. It's very good and very much appreciated! Christmas eve, he made really good sugar cookies. He did a better job than I rolling them and cutting them out. He also ate most of them,lol.

When I let him.
Jack does do all the grilling(and is great at it) & we grill 3-4 x a week in the winter & almost everyday in the summer. I usually make the go- withs & get the meat ready for the grill. If Jack does cook in the kitchen it's kinda scary for me. I cringe when he opens the spice cabinet and starts opening jars and puts some strange combos of all kinds of spices in what he's preparing. I have a lot of spices & he sure enjoys spicing it up. If he's out shopping & is going to pick out something to make for dinner, you know it will include a beef roast and turnips or rutabega.
He hasn't poisoned us yet.

He's cooked before (mostly spaghetti...lol) I guess being a resturant manager and having to grill steaks and chicken when they are short handed he doesn't want to have to cook on his day's off now...lol

Dave is a great cook. He's one of those people who can just throw anything together, and it always turns out delicious.
I'm much more "structured" in my cooking and just make the basics. I'm the baker in the family

Bob can cook, but only the basics. Enough to get by so that if I'm gone for a day or I'm away, he can do the cooking for the kids.

Barry is a very good cook and cooks often. He does brunch every Sunday morning (and I love that!) and he cooks a time or 2 during the week, sometimes more if he's in the mood. He does all of the grilling like Darlene's dh. The spices are a little scarey here too though

Jack cooks sometimes, mostly simple things. He would cook more if I let him, but some of his concoctions are just way too scary for me!

DH cooks, if you count picking up the Taco Bell.

No, wait, I take that back, once or twice each summer we grill out big t-bone steaks, and he does those. That's the only cooking he does, though.

Same here.....GW can make anything from nothing & I fix all of the basic stuff - differences in the way we were raised I guess....we lived on Mac & Cheese when I was a kiddo & his family always "had"....Originally posted by Michelle

Funny you asked. On Christmas Eve morning, very very early he got up an cooked the cornbread for the dressing. When I saw it it looked lovely sitting next to the scratch cake he aslo made!!! He cleaned the entire kitchen while they were in the oven. When I looked a little closer at the cornbread, I saw LOTS of black dots. He said that he "accidentially" spilled the cracked pepper in it. Well I made the dressing out of it and it was so darn hot only he and dd can eat it!!! It is REALLY HOT!
The cake on the otherhand was scrumptious. He really can cook, he just loves black pepper. The kids cried on the phone everyday when I visited Lori for a week, because the eggs were too hot!

DH cooks AT LEAST 2-3 times a week. I am glad he offers to help me out.
