Hi again,
I thought it might be time to share more of our story; background always seems to enhance the picture or at least lend understanding to what motivates people. In teaching my sons, in particular, how to cook, or at least encouraging them to learn, I'd hoped to spare them the "I'll fix you," syndrome. Ha! Don't anyone act like you don't know what that is. You know, and you (the female reader) may very well be a culprit. When you get angry with the man in your life and you KNOW he can't cook.... it's curtains. You, buddy, will not eat tonight. Not on my watch! So, off he goes to the loaf of bread for a sandwich. Hopefully he has a favorite neighborhood deli nearby. Whatever the case, you're not cooking! In the sporting world that they love so much, most anyway, this would be known as a "flagrant technical foul." In case you're unfamiliar with what that means..... in the sports it is considered "unnecessary, excessive and unsportsmanlike." Most men would probably agree with that characterization. Well, I love my sons and I certainly didn't want them victimized in circumstances like this that occur all too often; men always make us angry. Ask me how many times I've gotten a call from a friend or the husband of a friend asking....uh, Tia, how do you cook rice?? I bet you can hear it in your's minds ear; the pleading tone. lol. Need I say more?
