A man who knows how to cook in the kitchen can cook in bed, too.

[Shine]

at least that's been MY experience. :evilgrin:

Can any of you others out there relate?

[kiraboo]

1. Sadly, I know that a man who can't cook in the kitchen

may very well be useless in bed too. Sigh.

[Shine]

6. Awww...

:hug:

[oscarguy]

77. My father was great cook,real scientist,big.....Is there some connection?.

Who knows, maybe there is. Pop was also a great fighter and never hesitated to take whom ever on. I love my father and dearly miss him. I am a lucky man to have had such a father.He worked on the space missions and would go into any bar and take any guy on. WWII VET and all that. Not your usual scientist. My mother did get a bit upset with him now and again as I recall. He was my dad and used to bring me , and only me , into the bars with him. I was his first son, there were two others and two sisters. God I miss him. ...Oscar

[MassLiberal]

Welcome to DU, btw, MassLiberal! :toast:

And I do miss it. A place where event liberals can have a ball. ...Oscar

[nothingshocksmeanymore]

3. Yes. I'm a very good cook

:D

[Shine]

9. LOL! I'll take your word for it.

Hey, how are you feeling? :hug:

I'm wishing you well. Be gentle with yourself.

[nothingshocksmeanymore]

15. I hurt worse today than Friday

probably because I've been working with a rigid brace on...stood too long last night and today I just couldn't get out of bed...still haven't taken anything stronger than Tylenol Extra Strength though...I want to stay away from narcotic meds

[Shine]

17. I'm sorry, honey.

:hug:
are you posting from bed right now? :evilgrin:

[nothingshocksmeanymore]

19. I am indeed

brought my work laptop home...I really hate TV

[Shine]

29. Well, I hope you're having fun being distracted by posting on DU

here, have a :beer: on me.

Hell, I'll join ya....

:toast: Here's to a full and speedy recovery.

:hug:

[nothingshocksmeanymore]

47. somewhat

and thanks for the libations..and I'll take the speedy recovery..I have an appointment with the surgeon who did my back surgery back in '01 later this month...I made a decent recovery from that...I'm hoping I have it in me again

[Shine]

52. I will continue to hold good thoughts for you, nsma

:hug:

[oscarguy]

78. Living with constant pain is difficult, I hope you find some relief...

Not being a doctor, I can only hope you find some relief. ...Oscar

[KitchenWitch]

10. but....but

You are not a man!

:hi:

:hug:

[nothingshocksmeanymore]

48. oops

nevermind :D

[KitchenWitch]

51. LOL

That does not count! :P

[blondeatlast]

38. Good to see you! nt

[nothingshocksmeanymore]

49. thanks

good to be seen

[ghostsofgiants]

4. Just hope you have flame retardant bed covers.

[CarpeDiebold]

5. haha

:spray:

[Shine]

11. Yeah, baby!

we actually did set off the smoke alarm once, at just the wrong time.

the candle got a little too smoky.

Yeah, that was it. heheheh. :evilgrin:

[ghostsofgiants]

18. Hahaha, that's hilarious.

[Shine]

31. Yeah, it's one of our fonder memories...

thank gawd we didn't wake the kids! That could've been awkward. :evilgrin:

[ghostsofgiants]

39. Romance is dangerous business.

:P

[Shine]

41. Ya got that right, brother.

:thumbsup:

[KitchenWitch]

8. Oh yeah!

My husband both BBQs and cooks very well. :evilgrin:

[Shine]

13. Testify!

:evilgrin:

[KitchenWitch]

21. I am a VERY HAPPY woman

And I get Thai food whenever I want it.

[Shine]

25. Me too. My hubby made a great dinner tonite.

lemon chicken, with lemon spinach couscous and steamed green beans. Yummm.....

....we'll have dessert later..... :evilgrin:

Testify.

[no name no slogan]

12. Well, since I'm a crappy cook

I hope to God this is not true

[Shine]

20. Hey, for YOU, it's not true.

because I said so.


There, do you feel better now? :evilgrin:

[no name no slogan]

23. *whew* offa the hook!

otherwise, I could provide references :evilgrin:

[Shine]

27. LOL! No need, my friend.

I'm sure you've got it goin' on. :evilgrin:

[bertha katzenengel]

14. I dunno about men, but women . . . . oohhh, yeah, baby.

Whip me up some crepe suzette and i'm yours for life. ;)

[Shine]

16. Testify!

:evilgrin:
did somebody say "whip"??

[bertha katzenengel]

26. LOL

Actually, I've never had crepe suzette, and I've never been into whips etc.

But I did have one lover move me beyond life on this earth one morning at around 5 AM... she woke me by whispering in my ear... "I know it's early but I'd really like to *blank blank blank* . . . ." :blush:

By about 8 she was making me crepes for breakfast..... not with her anymore, but that is a good memory. :blush: :blush:

[Shine]

28. I'd really like to know what happened in that "blank, blank, blank..."

that must've been a nice few hours.... :evilgrin:

dang, no sex threads! heheheh.

[bertha katzenengel]

30. Vanilla, but very heartfelt, and genuine, and oh, so sublime.

As good as making love can be without being in love. The memory makes me smile. Very nice.

:evilgrin: Enjoy your evening filling in the blanks. ;)

Edit: "vanilla" doesn't refer to an ingredient in the crepes. You know what I mean. Vanilla can be very, veeerrrry nice. :blush:

[Shine]

40. Yeah, we have those distinctions on our end, as well.

I smiled when I read yours.

Ours is "home-cooked" vs. "gourmet"
They're BOTH good, for different reasons....

:evilgrin:

[bertha katzenengel]

46. I like it!

Now, if I could just stop snoring, Mrs. V. and I could start sleeping in the same bed again every night, and maybe I could make her "crepes" at 5 AM . . . . :blush:

'night, Shine. :hug:

[Shine]

53. Sweet dreams....

....of crepes and other delights.....

:hug:

[eyepaddle]

22. Well, my chili is Da Bomb, and I do a kick -ass American-Asian fusion

my homemade bread is pretty solid and I am an artist with a grill, but as to the other....who can ever say with assurance? ;)

[Shine]

34. Sounds like you've got it goin' on, brother.

all the words are the right ones: "da bomb", "kick-ass", "solid", "artist"....:evilgrin:

Testify.

[eyepaddle]

56. !

:rofl:

Honest--I never put that together! :D

Once again, :rofl:

:hi:

[Ptah]

24. My testimony, your honor.

[Shine]

35. Ohhhh. a man who can make bread knows how to get a rise outa things.

heheheh. :evilgrin:

[Ptah]

44. After cooking, I like a nap.

[Shine]

54. LOL! Funny, my hubby's the same way.

:rofl:

[Pale Blue Dot]

32. My fiancee likes my cooking.

:shrug:

[Shine]

36. Well there ya go! That's why she's marrying you, no doubt.

:evilgrin:

Testify.

[ChoralScholar]

33. I cook great steaks and chili, but everything else is so-so....

what does that mean? Am I gay?

[Shine]

37. NO, silly! It means you're good with meat.

:evilgrin:

[ChoralScholar]

60. Oh, ok.. That's COMPLETELY different.

:dunce:

[Zomby Woof]

42. Sounds about right

:D

[Shine]

55. Testify!

:evilgrin:

[FunkyLeprechaun]

43. I agree

I can't cook but my man can. I'm learning how to cook, any easy recipes to learn?

[Shine]

57. I am definitely NOT the cook in the family, but I manage just fine.

It's great being with a man who likes to cook, in and out of the kitchen. Testify! :evilgrin:

Me in the kitchen? I have to be in the right mood. Figuring out what to feed the kids everyday is one of the hardest tasks of mothering, in my book, anyway.

BTW, welcome to DU, Zenzic! :toast: Great to have you here.

[FunkyLeprechaun]

63. Oh yeah

He wants me to learn how to cook (to be fair, take turns cooking since he's now the one that has a job and I've got one more class for my degree and still have to do a resume). But he doesn't even have a cookbook and yet everything comes out really well!

I burnt garlic when he was trying to teach me how to cook one time. Right now I'm doing simple meals like pasta and simple sauces for it... from the cookbook :-(. He lives in England and I'm in Boston at the moment.

Come on! I want to finish!!! :-(

[Shine]

75. Well, good luck with that, Zenzic.

:hug:

[FunkyLeprechaun]

80. Aw thanks!

:hug:

[Tsiyu]

45. The best foreplay

when he cooks and cleans. Love to watch a man vacuum :P

[Shine]

Yup, throw in a foot massage or somethin' and we're hooked!

:evilgrin:

Testify!

[leftofthedial]

50. I must be a real stud then

:woohoo:
:woohoo:
:woohoo:

[Shine]

59. Yeah, baby! We like a man who can claim his Stud-ness.

:evilgrin:

Testify!

[leftofthedial]

69. I cook in the kitchen

but I also "cook" in all the other rooms of the house, on the patio, in the garage, in the car, up on the roof, on the porch . . .

slow-cooking is my specialty.

[Shine]

70. Ooooh la la!

:evilgrin:

[Kerrytravelers]

58. Mr. kt is the best chef I've ever known!

:evilgrin:


Oh, and Mr. kt... :yourock:

[Shine]

61. Testify, girl!

:evilgrin:

[Kerrytravelers]

62. Mr. kt is blushing... but perhaps beaming with pride a bit right now!

[EstimatedProphet]

64. I'm gonna let The Prophetess answer this one...

[TheProphetess]

65. Ok, it's true, the man can cook it up in the kitchen and bedroom

Sounds like scientific evidence to me!

So, for all the single folks out there, find someone who can cook and then you'll be pleasantly surprised by their other talents. :evilgrin:

[Shine]

71. Sounds like you got some good cookin' goin' on there at home.

Testify. :evilgrin:

[ThomCat]

66. I'm awesome in the kitchen (If I do say so myself)

And you're all invited over for dinner. I love cooking lots of courses for large groups. The kitchen is a playground!

[Shine]

72. Other rooms can be a playground to cook in, too.

:evilgrin:

[bigwillq]

67. So I guess YOU had a good birthday!

:evilgrin: :hi:


I think that statement of yours is very true. At least in my man's case! :evilgrin:

[Shine]

73. Yes, I did!

:evilgrin:

many courses of dessert.

:hi:

[oscarguy]

68. And fighter and scientist and antiques dealer and home restorer..

and on and on. What can I say? A lot of people think I am also a DICKHEAD. Oh well. ...Oscar

[Shine]

74. I didn't quite get what you meant, but hey, welcome to DU, Oscar!

:toast:

[oscarguy]

81. I tend to ramble on in my own little World. Thank you for your welcome.

[kedrys]

76. Oh, that would be telling

and I ain't telling. :evilgrin:

p.s. absolutely true!

[Shine]

92. Yeah, baby!

Testify. :evilgrin:

[Starbucks Anarchist]

82. I don't know how to cook.

Isn't that the woman's job?

:popcorn: :hide:

[Shine]

94. That comment deserves a spanking.

:spank:

Hey, does that mean you don't know how to cook in bed, either?? :shrug:

:evilgrin:

[Starbucks Anarchist]

125. I plead the 5th.

:blush:

[hfojvt]

83. does baking count?

And if it does, can I find a woman who is willing to test this theory? I am soooo available.

[Shine]

95. Yes, baking counts. That means you're good at making things rise.

heheheh. :evilgrin:

Hey, isn't your bd right around now? Happy, happy! :toast:

[tjwmason]

84. Very true - i.m.o.

and there's several folk that I'd happily make some supper for round here - or indeed have them make it for me. :evilgrin:

[Shine]

96. Testify!

:evilgrin:

[billyskank]

85. I am a pretty good cook

:7

[tjwmason]

87. We'd all guessed that already.

-AHEM AHEM-

[Shine]

97. Hubba, hubba....

Testify! :evilgrin:

[XemaSab]

111. Is that so?

:D

[TheBaldyMan]

86. They call me 'The Chef'

[Shine]

98. Well, no more need be said.

:evilgrin: Testify!

[TheBaldyMan]

106. It could be my big chopper

[ScreamingMeemie]

88. MrG doesn't "cook", but I'm not complaining.

:)

[Shine]

99. He "cooks" in other depts, right?

:evilgrin: Testify, girl!

[aQuArius]

89. I FULLY AGREE!!!

That theory has definitely been true for me :evilgrin:

[Shine]

100. YEAH, BABY!

:evilgrin: Testify!

[Callalily]

90. Thanks for the advice . . .

I'll be on the lookout for a guy that can (ahem) cook!

[Shine]

101. Good plan.

:evilgrin:

I approve.

[LaurenG]

91. Well Shine

I haven't fared as well. My ex was an excellent cook but he didn't cook as well in other areas. My now hubby can't cook well but he can "cook" really well. :bounce: :hi:

[Shine]

102. Testify, girl!!

:evilgrin:

My theory isn't very "scientific", afterall.....


:hi:

[bridgit]

93. mine too sweety...

:blush: :thumbsup: :rofl: :hi:

[Shine]

103. We are lucky women, indeed.

:evilgrin:


Testify!

[Radio_Guy]

104. I'm glad you put it that way

I'm pretty handy with a knife, herbs, sauces, pots and pans in the kitchen, but I don't think I would ever use those in the bedroom. :)

[Shine]

105. Well, SAUCES....maybe.

:evilgrin:

[Redstone]

107. I've had women BEG for my recipes here at DU. What does that tell you?

Well, one woman. And one recipe. But still...

Redstone

[Shine]

110. You like it when women BEG for what you have?

:evilgrin:

well, who can blame you? :shrug:

[Redstone]

122. Well, I, ah, but, but, I, you see...HEY! You're the one who drew the

parallel! I was just answering your question. See?

Redstone

[Heidi]

108. A man who can take care of himself

can pretty much do whatever he wants with whatever and whomever . . . ask Call Me Wesley. :evilgrin:

[Shine]

112. Testify, girl!

:evilgrin: I'm sure Call Me Wesley is a very capable and happy man.

[Heidi]

114. I'm a total fool

for independent men who don't _need_ me, and ya know what? That works out just _great_, since I think being "needed" is for mommies and babies, and not for partners. The only men who could possibly have aced CMW out are Leonard Cohen (who's 30 years older than me and has one foot in the grave) and Dwight Yoakam (any man who can produce a country album around a painting by the relatively unknown Swiss impressionist painter Hans Burkhardt piques my interest automatically). :evilgrin:

*Faint.* I'm bissfully surrounded by beautiful, intelligent, capable and independent men. Whatta life.

[Shine]

115. Whatta life, indeed.

Sounds like ya got yerself a emotionally Healthy man, too. :thumbsup:

Leonard Cohen, huh? heheheh. :D

[Heidi]

116. I had a naughty dream about Leonard Cohen

a couple of years ago, and CMW still teases me about it. L. Cohen and I were kissing in a hotel elevator, and then I noticed he was about five inches shorter than me. :eyes: CMW says, "Seduced any short guys lately?" :rofl: :spray:

I'm buttah for L. Cohen.

[Shine]

117. LOL!! Hey, whatever floats yer boat, baby!!

who am I to judge? :shrug:

:hug:
I have a total thing for John Cusack, even though he's much much younger than me. He is a dead ringer for my handsome hubby, what can I say? :loveya:

[Heidi]

119. "Whatever blows yer skirt up, gf."

That's what a male friend of mine says to me on occasion. :rofl: :spray:

[edbermac]

109. I'm a Master Baker...

:evilgrin:

[Shine]

113. Bakers know how to make things RISE.....

:evilgrin:

[warrens]

118. Them Fryolators can be real dangerous around bedding

Really, open flame and all that stuff should be confined to the kitchen. Oh, wait, you're making a play on the word cook. Oh, I get it. You didn't actually mean assembling a grill and boiling water and firing up the rice cooker on top of the comforter. You're talking about s-e-x. Ooooo, do I feel like an idiot. Not quite as much as the time the frying fat spilled all over both of us one night while I was whipping up some beer-batter onion rings in bed, though...

[Shine]

120. Yowsah!

sounds like you got it goin' on, brother. :evilgrin:

:thumbsup:

[In_The_Wind]

121. I do believe you've spoken the real truth!

:evilgrin:

[Shine]

123. LOL! Testify, girlfriend.

:evilgrin:
I actually was worried this thread might end up being my first locked thread. heheheh.

[In_The_Wind]

124. Kudos to the man who brings me coffee while I'm still in bed!

I could be cute and say I love being worshiped and treated like a goddess ...
but the real truth is - it's always been a reciprocal arrangement. :)
