I do most of the cooking. But that's because I get home earlier than my husband. He doesn't mind cooking, so on rare occasions I let him. He turns the whole thing into a production, though. It takes him forever and he uses every pan in the kitchen and dinner is really late when he fixes it. He can't seem to multitask. One dish at a time. It's just easier if I do it.

I pretty much do all the cooking. I love to cook though; so to me it's not any kind of hardship.

Once when I was on bedrest after surgery I wanted a grilled cheese and DH said he didn't know how to make one? Now really, who can't make a grilled cheese sandwich?

I used to think my husband was totally useless in the kitchen (and for the most part, he is). But after I had the kiddo, I couldn't hardly move out of bed, so most of the cooking fell on him. I'd made up several casserole type meals and frozen ahead of time, and he did just fine with heating those. But he also surprised me a few times and make quesadillas, tacos, and a few other things until I could get back on my feet.

Of course, now that I'm plenty mobile now, he looks at the kitchen like it's a foreign planet.

I still do most of the cooking, but he is getting better at it. He's getting more comfortable now with heating up pre-made meals; he used to not even do that. He grills a fair amount and I can get him to help me by chopping things.

Not long ago we were having a party and I asked him to help me by making the sausage balls. Of course, all that involves is putting some sausage, Bisquick and cheese in a bowl and mixing with your hands. He wasn't a fan. ;)

Texas, your husband isn't the only one. Mine would be totally grossed out of he has to get his hands in raw meat. Of course, it's okay for me to do it.
