He does have to follow a recipe and he makes so much mess. I swear he uses every bowl or implement in the kitchen. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/can-your-so-cook/page/2#post-112640 Thu, 05 Apr 2012 17:19:39 +0000 lovehoneybee 112640@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>DH can make an incredible omelet (as can every member of his immediate family--although they all make them differently), and likes to grill, but past that, he really just loves to eat. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/can-your-so-cook/page/2#post-112535 Thu, 05 Apr 2012 14:55:46 +0000 joyjoy 112535@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@chopsuey119: Then we're in the same boat! :-) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/can-your-so-cook/page/2#post-112472 Thu, 05 Apr 2012 13:58:32 +0000 chopsuey 112472@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@joyjoy: haha. DH can grill too! :D I marinate, he cooks. :P<br /> @bluestriped bee: hehe. :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/can-your-so-cook#post-112416 Thu, 05 Apr 2012 13:18:27 +0000 BSB 112416@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@chopsuey119: Haha! Eggs and ramen. Yup, my DH is an expert at those. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/can-your-so-cook#post-112413 Thu, 05 Apr 2012 13:17:02 +0000 BSB 112413@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>He can cook but it's simple stuff like making spaghetti and adding some chicken and sauce. He can't seem to follow directions or a recipe really well. Must be that guy thing again. I did tell him how to make a shrimp scampi over the phone but it was really simple directions. I didn't use any cooking lingo. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/can-your-so-cook#post-112406 Thu, 05 Apr 2012 13:10:16 +0000 joyjoy 112406@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Chopsuey119: Same here! He can grill, too, though. If I'm swamped and I ask him to cook something for dinner, it's usually eggs or ramen. If I request something else, even just spaghetti, I might as well just cook it myself for how often he calls me into the kitchen with questions. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/can-your-so-cook#post-112395 Thu, 05 Apr 2012 13:04:16 +0000 regberadaisy 112395@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@artbee:<br /> It's kinda crazy but he knows if the meat is done by touch of his grill spatula. For steak, chicken, pork and to different done ness. It's kinda amazing really. I still have to cut with a knife haha</p> <p>I'm so excited warm weather is coming because I do so miss his pulled pork and ribs. Just love that smokey flavor and that smoke ring. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/can-your-so-cook#post-112386 Thu, 05 Apr 2012 12:56:37 +0000 Alivoo01 112386@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@BabyBoecksMom: That's freaking awesome!! Lucky girl! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/can-your-so-cook#post-112339 Thu, 05 Apr 2012 12:23:08 +0000 betsyboop 112339@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My husband can cook and actually enjoys it, but I still do 99% of the cooking because he's SO. SLOW, and it drives me nuts! I only ask him to cook dinner if I'm meeting friends out and coming home for dinner (so I don't have to wring my hands as I watch him meticulously chop veggies)! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/can-your-so-cook#post-112338 Thu, 05 Apr 2012 12:22:47 +0000 yoursilverlining 112338@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My husband is a great cook – he actually taught me to cook! Before I lived with him, I was all single-girl dinners: take out sushi, guacamole and chips, or spaghetti for dinner every night. I’m a good cook now, just never really tried before we got together. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/can-your-so-cook#post-112336 Thu, 05 Apr 2012 12:19:45 +0000 mrs. wagon 112336@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>good God no.</p> <p>He's gotten really great at grilling. I know he could be a good cook if he had the time/motivation to try. But we both default to either me cooking or just getting takeout. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/can-your-so-cook#post-112334 Thu, 05 Apr 2012 12:18:41 +0000 Meridian 112334@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Mine is a decent cook! His family owned a Chinese restaurant growing up, so he picked up a few things. </p> <p>We cook 80% of our meals together, with one of us prepping/washing dishes while the other is on the stove. We cook about 4 - 5 dinners/week and the other day we talked about how the only reason we eat at home so often is because we BOTH share the cooking. I told him that if I had to cook everyday, we would NOT be eating at home as often! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/can-your-so-cook#post-112290 Thu, 05 Apr 2012 11:45:59 +0000 BabyLove 112290@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@artbee- I really should. I had mentioned what we had in the fridge/freezer and assumed he'd be able to figure something out... wrong. I mean, if I was told that there was chicken, salmon, ground turkey and a bunch of sides, I'd figure out what to do with them. Oh well! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/can-your-so-cook#post-112288 Thu, 05 Apr 2012 11:44:25 +0000 mynoahbear 112288@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>DH is a chef so yes, he can cook. I'm the one that can't cook very well. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/can-your-so-cook#post-112278 Thu, 05 Apr 2012 11:36:37 +0000 heffalump 112278@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@BabyLove: Lol, maybe you can help him out with some meal planning ideas. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/can-your-so-cook#post-112275 Thu, 05 Apr 2012 11:32:59 +0000 BabyLove 112275@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@artbee- yep, we actually started it 2 weeks ago, last week being his first week. I am hoping it improves because there's only so much tuna fish, pasta, frozen pizza and fast food I can take! Haha. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/can-your-so-cook#post-112263 Thu, 05 Apr 2012 11:27:02 +0000 heffalump 112263@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@lilteacherbee: Sounds so yummy! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/can-your-so-cook#post-112260 Thu, 05 Apr 2012 11:25:36 +0000 lilteacherbee 112260@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@artbee: mainly southern comfort food..

But it works out - I can make breakfast stuff (casseroles, waffles, muffins, etc) and desserts, and he makes dinner. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/can-your-so-cook#post-112211 Thu, 05 Apr 2012 11:02:50 +0000 heffalump 112211@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Andrea: He's most afraid of getting the shell in it. To which I just say, you can easily pick it out! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/can-your-so-cook#post-112207 Thu, 05 Apr 2012 11:02:03 +0000 Alivoo01 112207@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@HabesBabe: LMFAO!!! I'm seriously busting out laughing at work, and my co-workers are giving me the WTF look. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/can-your-so-cook#post-112205 Thu, 05 Apr 2012 11:01:00 +0000 volksgirl64 112205@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>DH is a wonderful cook! We actually take turns cooking during the week. We sit down on Sundays and plan our meals (3 each) for the week and then do one big shopping trip. Then we take turns cooking and whoever doesn't cook does the dishes! It works for us.<br /> He's the one who started cooking us things like tofu and kale, otherwise I never would have even bought them. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/can-your-so-cook#post-112198 Thu, 05 Apr 2012 10:56:50 +0000 Andrea 112198@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@artbee: haha. but you can always make scrambled eggs if you "mess up" cracking them! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/can-your-so-cook#post-112194 Thu, 05 Apr 2012 10:55:26 +0000 heffalump 112194@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Andrea: I already told you how my husband feels about eggs. Terrified to crack them :) </p>
