Well, I couldn't resist putting in my two cents worth!

I get some interesting reactions when, in conversation, it is mentioned
that my husband is what he affectionately terms a "house-hubby".  This
means that he does *all* the housework, laundry, cooking, etc.  It turns
out (not surprisingly) that he is a much better cook than I am, and also
loves to eat good food.  It also works out well, since I both work full-
time days and go to school full-time in the evenings (12-15 credits/term).

What *is* surprising (actually funny) is the reaction he gets when people
first meet him, having already formed a mental picture of a somewhat wimpy
milque-toast type house-husband.  He is 6'3", 290 lbs., bearded, and an
ex-construction worker, and looks it!

Anyway, the main reason I read net.cooks is to glean yummy-sounding
recipes to try out for his collection.  We thank you all!!
