In these relationships the cooking was split up based on the following method. She cooks the food if she devised the menu, I cook the food if I selected the menu. In this way, each would cook only if the food was their choice. Since I cooked things that I liked, they were up to my normal quality. Since she cooks the food she likes, she does her best. Although there are probably women that are better cooks than I am, I have not had the pleasure of being involved with them or tasting their cooking. It may sound trite, but, I still have not met a woman that can cook better than I can (no flames, I'm sure there are some). The only one that I know of that is better than me, (are you ready for this?) is my mother. How's that for a cliche, the old "not as good as mother used to make" line. My pet theory for why the women I've met are such poor cooks - They are not inclined to experiment. They follow recipes and do not attempt to introduce enhancements. Granted, some recipes must be followed closely (yeast breads for example) but there is always room for experimentation. Re: relationships with CS females - insufficient data for me to make any valid comments (hint to single CS females here at IH/W/X). Re: trb contest - Gee, did my flame really squash the contest? I'm sorry. Andy sent a note to me after my flame. He thanked me for the support and said he did't mind the contest. I guess we can resume the trb contest. Terribly Risky Business this contest stuff. Never know what people will come up with next. It could be, Trouble 'Round the Bend Not afraid to restart this game, Dave Rosik ihuxr!dlr
