Silly Raq. You're only supposed to cook inside the house.
Well, we may not have parted on the best of terms. I realize certain words were exchanged. Also, certain... bullets. But that's air through the engine. It's past. We're business people.

[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
Also, the fact that I do the grilling and all the driving when we go anywhere together seems to bug people.
O HAI, this is me also.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
I'm a whiz at cooking scrambled eggs on plain stainless steel and not having them stick
I'd like to know that too! It's like magic.
not knowing what a clove was, she put in two bulbs
See, this would have been me. All those "you won't believe this" cooking stories? They're me. I lived in my last apartment for two years before I realized that the little drawer under the stove was actually a broiler. I can cook eggs, and meat if it's not too complicated, and I guess I could stir-fry if I ever wanted to eat vegetables. If it involves a "recipe", I'll screw it up. I don't cook.

But then where will I light big piles of rocks on fire?

That's me too, it's very stereotypical and naturally doesn't bug anyone. On the rare occasions I don't drive, it is awesome. I'm going someplace and I don't have to do anything.

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!
I love to cook, which means I'm usually the one who cooks in the family, but DH can certainly feed the whole family. He just finds the cooking a lot more stressful than I do. My mom was an amazing cook, really amazing. Not like having a chef in the house, just good home cooking. I learned so much from her.

I can't tell you how many problems I've had with female partners of male friends because I like nerdstuff. Also, the fact that I do the grilling and all the driving when we go anywhere together seems to bug people.
You're making the other women look bad. Or you're being too manly. Or both.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
Or you're being too manly.
Not the word I would use to describe Raq who has both the Va and the Voom.

We won’t stop until everyone is gay.
My mom was a stay-at-home mom, and cooked meals from scratch every blessed night for decades. Pretty much still does. My dad cooks once in a while, and does handle the grill. My mom did most of the indoor cleaning when we were young - my sis does it now, and does the dishes after dinner. My dad does some indoor stuff, and he and Mama also share the outside duties (she likes gardening more than he does).
It's POURING outside. A real gully-washer.
I just ate tiny ravioli from a coffee mug with chopsticks, to avoid doing my work dishes.
Also, a coworker just informed me that I have a parking ticket. Grr...

I must obey the inscrutable exhortations of my soul—Calvin and Hobbs
My mom was a very good cook, but she considered it work. After she retired they hired out the lawn mowing (formerly a Dad chore) and either ate out or ate frozen dinners for most meals. When Mom retired she really retired.
