When you or your significant other invite dinner guests, who prepares the meal?

Of course! We're multifaceted males, don't you know...

BINGO....you hit THAT one right on the head...perhaps Pirate might want to skip over a few of the hundreds of other threads I have started here that DON'T address such an issue about who cooks.

Cooking is part of rural living, correct? When we have a big cookout it is always BBQ. I will cook the ribs, chickens, ABT's, etc. I clean up the grills. She does most of the rest, including clean up inside. She usually has some help from the guests though. BBQ is exclusively my domain; whether one slab of ribs or 15. Otherwise from day to day, she cooks, I clean. I cook, I clean; no one cooks, I clean. Holidays, she cooks mostly, I sidekick, everyone cleans.

This is an easy one - neither of us!

After being married 21 years we have never had or been to a dinner party. We just don't have that "socializing" need that most others do I guess.

My domain is the BBQ as well. :drink:

You Sir, are leading me into temptation. Besides being a life long Boston Terrier lover, BBQ, Weber, BGE, etc., and recipes I can ramble on for hours. :licking:

It's obviously an individual decision. I never knew of my Dad doing ANY cooking; that was Mother's domain. But maybe just because I was interested in it, I started learning to cook from my Mother and Grandmother when I was just a kid. And now . . . I've heard my wife tell people that I taught her to cook, and she's a pretty good cook, too, but I still do more cooking than she does.

Of course, in the days when I was employed and working, she did nearly all the cooking, except when we had company, in which case I helped her.

However . . . we had 7 visitors Thursday so 9 of us to eat. We had fried chicken, hot rolls, mashed potatoes & gravy, French fried potatoes, cole slaw, and fried okra. And I went and picked it up at Chicken Express.:laughing: Sure was a lot easier.:laughing: And we had enough left overs for the 2 of us yesterday.

I have been trying to teach my SO how to use the gas grill...she was very wary of it but I explained to her that it's basically a little gas stove that you light yourself...no pilot....:laughing: so far so good.

I think my wife would first, be insulted and soon after that, pi**ed off if I went into HER kitchen and started cooking.
