You are amazing and I'm sure that you are much appreciated! I work a 50+ hour week and still manage to have dinner on the table for my hubby everynight, desserts are special occasion though! I too know a lot of women who can't cook. They are married women with children and they can't even feed their family cause it is an inconvience to them!

Don't play games, they're torturous at women only showers, they'll be even worse with men.  Make sure the food is good and plan it like any other bbq.

Alot of people say men can't cook... but it's not always true. I have known both men and women who are awesome cooks.\n\nSo don't discriminate against a cook based on GENDER. But remember... never trust a SKINNY cook!

I think this is really sweet what you want to do! I don't have any good recipes but I can tell you to go to Food Network.com and they have all kinds of recipes that I bet will impress him! Just the fact that you are wanting to take the time to do something for him, for Father's day, is a wonderful thing for you, him and your marriage!!! I would say also, don't know how old or young the kids are, but why not get them involved in helping to get ready for dinner, etc? Make it a family time, a family day! That's what it's all about and if you ask me, we all make ourselves so busy nowadays that we don't take the time!!! Good luck! Hope all goes well!

YES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!  When I first stared dating my exhusband, we would go to his family's house and he'd always want me to cook.  I don't know about anyone else but I was raised where you don't just go into people's kitchens and start cooking.  I couldn't do it.  He would get really angry and upset.  His family use to look at me crazy because I didn't want to cook, I told them that it's nothing against them, this is the way that I was raised and I don't feel comfortable.  They still talked about me but I just let it go.  I told him if he wanted me to cook for him everynight, he should get us our own apartment.  I told his family if they think I should cook for him everynight because I'm the woman, he should make me his wife so I can do all that domestic stuff and be his HOUSE WIFE, until then, we're just dating and I'm not his mother so he can cook his own damn food!!!!

Depends on what you cook for her.  Most women love a man who cooks, partially cause then we don't have to do it ourselves, partially cause it's nice to be pampered by someone else taking care of us for a change.  But, if you cook like say , my dad, don't.  He was banned from the kitchen for life and relegated to BBQ duty only after an unfortunate incident involving snails and my mom's teflon pan.

People I barely know inviting themselves to spend their vacation at my house.\n\nThat's happened SO many times, I feel like having a panic attack just thinking about it.\n\nSOME people just don't know when it's time to leave. SOME, think they can just moonwalk in and take charge of your household.  They complain that you don't have any food that they like and give you advice that you never asked for.  RUDE!\n\nMAN!  Everytime someone calls to let me know that they've invited themselves to move in for a week or two, I cringe and feel like I can't get any air.

It's what us women have to do to keep the food bill from being close to the national debt!  I write down the days of the week and write down what we will be eating on those days.  Then, I make my grocery list from my menu.\n\nEasy!

It was actually 178 members ...\n\nWorld's Largest Family Take All Day Over Meals \nhttp://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/main.jhtml?xml=/news/2004/07/24/wmeal24.xml&sSheet=/news/2004/07/24/ixworld.html \nKARNATAKA, INDIA, July 24, 2004: As one shift of the 178-strong  Narsinganna family finishes eating, another hungry batch replaces them. Feeding the family takes up most of the day, and the family women cook in two-hour shifts, squatting before the wood fires in the smoky kitchen to prepare 1,600 millet rotis and vast quantities of vegetables and lentils. "Cooking and housework is all that we know," Saraswati, the family's oldest woman, said resignedly. The men eat first, served by the girls under 11 years old who do not yet cook. Dozens of infants crawl in and out of the laps of their elders, helping themselves. Five generations - about 130 people - live in the ancestral home, with the remaining 50-odd family members accommodated nearby. "It is compulsory to eat together twice a day in the main house," said Bhimanna, the 71-year-old patriarch.  He explains that the family that eats together stays together, bringing happiness and security. This is why they continued to live together when the traditional Indian joint family is swiftly disintegrating. They believe that the womenfolk had kept them together, preferring brides of around 15 years old who had not studied beyond the sixth grade. A senior Narsinganna pointed out that keeping the women under control ensured harmony -- undue freedom could spell ruination. "We consume what we produce and share everything," said Thiranandra, 37, in charge of the family's rather full diary. "There is no room for individual wants." The annual budget is about 1.2 million rupees (£14,000) while a further £3,500 goes on clothing, medicines and farm labour. Annually they consume about 132,000 lb of millet and 33,000 lb of wheat in addition to home-grown vegetables. The family is clothed with about 20 bales of varied cloth bought during the Hindu festival of Dusherra. Weddings are celebrated on a grand scale, sometimes several couples at once. A lone television set has pride of place at the top of the family house and is switched on sparingly for popular soap operas. "It's like watching television on a busy railway platform."

As often as you both want to go, can afford to go or when don't feel like cooking. Setting a specific # of times you must go takes the fun out of it if you ask me. If this is a question based off your wife saying you never take me to dinner type of deal and you cannot afford taking her to dinner as often as she would like, try cooking for her once in a while, if you have kids try to get them out on sleep overs or set an early bedtime for that night serve thier meal early and serve dinner for your wife at around 8pm. Don't forget the candles

Maybe you should consider telling her that she needs to take a break in the kitchen, she deserves it. And let you do some of the cooking. You shouldn't come out and bluntly say,"your cooking is horrible!" but nicely tell her the things she can do to make a certain dish taste better. Like,"baby next time use less/more salt" or "I don't think it should've stayed in the oven that long" or you should never put ____ when you are making ___ because it will taste better without it. etc. You catch my drift? Be nice about it. Theres always a nicer way of saying anything to anyone. You can even tell her that it would be nice if the both of you work on something together and while you two are doing that you can give her some pointers. :)
