Caryn, I do love to cook, but I'm with you... many men don't appreciate the hard work and the slaving efforts of a cook. To men, I say: get in the kitchen and help, why don't 'cha? Tami

Hi Again Caryn: This was very good. Would I get a licking if I asked for another helping. I remember being a young man, that after the ladies cooked all day, the men folk would remove themselves from the t.v. and slither to the table. The ladies would serve the lazy guys and when they were finished, they would roll back to the t.v., saying I don't think the ham was as good this year Honey. Then the ladies would melt into a chair and there wouldn't be enough food left unless they cooked some more. Well, I want you to know that I did not stand for it and would wait and eat with the women folk. I can still recall those immortal words from a bear of an Uncle, "Boy, be a man and eat with the men folk, cause that's the way it is, pass the tooth pick, boy". I don't and will not cook. It is a chore for me to fix a ham sandwich. It is easier to call in a pizza. I just have to remember to leave the door unlocked so the delivery guy (TED, 22 years old and wants to be a rock star) can get me the pizza cause I don't want to get up. "Ted, while your in there get me a coke, and take out the garbage on your way out". Oh yeah same time tomorrow dude. You da man Ted. Jerry Oh Yeah just between you and me, I aint no wimp. My Momma's got my back!
