Should Wives be alowed in the kitchen whilst a man is cooking?

[Phil Spencer]

I decided to make an OssoBucco with Orange Gremolata and Orange and Parsley Dumplings in the slow cooker for dinner tonight. :2tsup:

Half way theough preparing the meal the LOML calls me away to fold a fitted sheet which I do, when I come back there she is in the kitchen cleaning up, putting food out for the cat and getting the dogs turkey out of the oven. Thing is, I was half way through preparing the meal and suddenly after being called away to attend to a small task I come back and MY kitchen has been taken over and I have forgotten weher I was up to in my preperations.:(

When I politly asked what she was doing in MY kitchen and what she was doing, the excuse was she was only trying to help and the cat was humgry.

So when a man is in the kitchen should it be treated like the shed and no visitors alowed? And if a visitor does venture into the work area should they be made to keep their hands in their pockets and not touch anything?

When a MAN is working in the kitchen should a set of OH&S rules apply?:rolleyes:

[chrisb691]

When a man says something......and his wife is not there to hear him






Is he STILL wrong.

[Woodwould]

And women say we're insensitive! In future Phil, I would...

[Woodwould]

... sorry, Mrs. Wood came in and I had to wait 'til she went out of the room again. Anyway, the next time it happens... damn! I forgot what I was going to say now!

[RufflyRustic]

[callum94]

[RufflyRustic]

:yes: I can't find any fault with that :D

[Phil Spencer]

Phil, do you always feed your dog roast turkey?

Always feed her roast turky, have to look after the best friend, she also loves a little bit of ice-cream and custard and always shares my apple :D

Some things you cannot teach (that is what the LOML says) so I am stuck with having to use this superpower, a man has to sholder all sorts of burdens :rolleyes: It's hard being so dam good :rolleyes:

True TL you would not believe it, offers such as "I will let you do the dishes & clean up the kitchen also" what is a man do do?:rolleyes:

[Woodwould]

Phil, Mrs. Wood just read this thread and says she'd be quite happy if you'd kick her out of our kitchen and take over cooking duties (so would I to tell you the truth).

She often won't eat her own creations whereas I enjoy a challenge. One of my favourites is her Pecan and Molasses Pie, or as I prefer to call it, Morass and Kerb.

Would she let me clean up the kitchen after I have cooked up a gourmet meal?

[tea lady]

Would she let me clean up the kitchen after I have cooked up a gourmet meal?Only if you are wearing something at the time.:p

Haven't you heard of the naked Chef?
Going to work now

[wheelinround]

Sue just read the lot and is rrfl, :no: way am I taking over the kitchen not as I sit here and soak.sniff up the aroma of fresh made marmalade whisky & plain.

Letitia Cropley (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Vicar_of_Dibley#Letitia_Cropley)'s infamous recipes are the main inspiration for Mrs. Wood's gallant efforts in the kitchen.

Miss read your post TL (should wear my glasses more) I thought I read folding seats not folding sheets.:-

Mrs Phil has requisted that I show her how to fold the fitted sheets properly should I?

[Woodwould]

Time to come clean: Mrs. Wood is an accomplished cook and baker, and thankfully has a sense of humour too.

This is a cake she baked and decorated, at very short notice, for a cousin's wedding.

[tea lady]

:U Well it LOOKS the part! :D :run:

[Woodwould]

I get the ganache left-overs which probably curtails my life by a month for every mouthful, but it's most definitely worth it!

Did you have to do that WW so you could get fed tonight:rolleyes::D

[Woodwould]

Not at all. Mrs. Wood had a laugh as well. Mind you, I might be begging for my supper when she discovers her turkey baster is missing – and what it was used for!

My wife still laughs because on the odd ocassions I cook (her choice) I use a mixer blade in the cordless drill.
Works for me....

[hughie]

When I cook, I am usually left alone, having been through this many years before. My wife used come along and turn things up or down and generally get in the way.
On one occaision it got out of hand and I took the hump and wandered off leaving the kitchen, with the passing comment "if you want to intefer cook it your damn self "etc, off I went into the shed. She took the hump and did the same and we both let it burn, no food that night and a bloody great silence.

Still its an ill wind as they say, it did clear the air and we really have not had many issues about since and its about 25 years on. We both cook and have learnt to be very diplomatic in our suggestions.

[Christos]

Good onya Phil..:2tsup:...I'm doing macaroni cheese at the moment...but I will be sure to ask swmba when she returns from the truffle hunt....

You have truffle? Exactly where do you live?

That's a good idea. Maybe one from the 2 dollar store, next time I am there. :2tsup:
