J-Dog that was awesome sauce on that post.
Only problem is that I actually do like to cook.
Seriously! I make the turkey EVERY year for Thanksgiving. My pot roast makes my wife envious (she can't cook a roast to save her life). My chili has done well in competitions (no wins yet but mentions at least). My grilling is usually spot on. I can make a good cake, or brownies or even puff pastry. Heck I've even made bread from scratch (no not in a bread maker).
I am the master of kitchens. I do the shopping, I plan meals and, Cook 80% of the food in the kitchen. I've been through Italian, Mexican, Chinese, and Cajun phases over the last 20 years. It's kinda like working through a whole range of tastes and techniques, Then moving on to a whole new set. I've been in a sauce phase lately. I do a wicked wine reduction.
It's funny, I make all kinds of cool exotic stuff.(I'm such a huge Iron Chef fan)
You know what the kids and the melaniedoggy would rather eat? Southern soul food! Biscuits, Gravy, Rice w/red beans and, Any kind of fried road kill pretty much guarantees me sex.

No, Well yes and no. I do think the idea of men and women in traditional roles is just not a reality for 90% of the people in this world. I make above average money but, I can't afford to support the whole circus I call my life alone. The expectation that the man should be the sole bread winner is a terrible burden and probably the main reason women outlive men. I shouldn't have to feel like less of a person because I choose to spend time with my family instead of working 60 life draining hours a week. Just like women shouldn't have to feel chained to a kitchen. As for domestic violence, I'm a firm believer that both parties involved should go to jail. I think the threat of everyone going to jail for acting out would keep arguments more civil and reduce violence. California has a law to the effect of 'Fighting Words' meaning that if you get in someone's face and start talking shit, Getting hit is an acceptable reaction and you are equally at fault. I think it discourages people from behaving like assholes, Then whining about how they got their ass beat.
