I don't know what a meme is...

[Orcs]

One of the secondary but not insignificant reasons to marry someone is that cooking for oneself is no fun at all.

Yep, then there is

The Ironing
The Cleaning
Taxi service for when you have had one too many
Allowing me to have a Den and use the Dining room for wargames
And allowing me to use another bedroom for a semi permanant wargam,es table in 5 weeks (when Stepdaughter no 1 moves out)

I was going to use the W.I.F.E acronym , then I remembered I was not married

anticipating there will be a soggy hair in the pizza

Allways be positive, it's not soggy hair, it's a condement you can floss with....

At least that's what I say about the fine coating of long dog hair which seems to add it's own unique flavour and texture to our culinary master pieces

[Westmarcher]

Yeow!    

Not only that but I've just noticed that the pizza pic was taken in a hotel room. Who knows whose clatty clothes that iron was used on. Yeow (again)

I feel, as a feminist-sympathiser, that I should point out I meant doing the cooking for two was fun, whereas doing it for oneself is a bore. I did not imply that that delegating culinary responsibilities was an argument for marriage.

Cooking For One

Cooking for one is such a bore.
Cooking for one is such a chore.
What use is triumph not celebrated?
Disaster not commiserated?
For one, it's a chore that never ends.
Cooking, like life, should be shared with friends. - Mike Headden (2007)

I have to agree with that. When I was living in my flat I often ate the same thing for dinner several days in a row becuase I couldn't be bothered to do anything else.

My self cooking rules used to be

It had to cook it in 20 mins max
You only used the grill and a Steamer or a single saucepan

[Techno]

Good ones.

I do all the cooking in our house. My wife works - I don't. 

[getagrip]

My wife does most through the week; she only works a day and a half.  I tend to cooK at the weekend, during holidays and the "fancy stuff."

It's not a gender thing, it's a logic thing.

Works for us anyway

My favourite part of the deal though is my magic wardrobe; every Monday I have 5 newly ironed shirts

Please note I am being EXTREMELY ironic and in no way trying to belittle my wife's efforts!

I'll never look at a pigeon the same way again.

One little spelling mistake...

[Last Hussar]

My kids claim that you can't cook everything at 180' for 20 minutes.

I prove that they are wrong, just ignore the black crispy bits and assume that the remainder will defrost in your stomach.

Hmmmm....My microwave doesn't seem to have those settings

Pretty much every ready meal cooks at that for that long; give or take

We still do this to some extend.  We often make up large quantities of curry or chilli or spag bol sauce then freeze the remainder in individual portions making it easy to eat nice things when neither of us can be bothered to cook.

For added excitement we tend not to label the various bags or tupperware boxes, resulting 'freezer roulette'.

Whatever ... I'd rather be an Imperial Stormtrooper than a poncy Jedi Knight!
