Duly noted, hon.<BR/><BR/>He grills, on occasion, both in the backyard, and in our oven. He makes extremely good scrambled eggs. He cooks a perfect pot of rice. (Much better than mine.) He can also fix oatmeal. And when I am out for the evening, he feeds himself, although often with TV dinners. He can fry things, and make anything that comes with microwaving directions.<BR/><BR/>He once made a fruit pie. He enjoys cooking shows, especially Alton Brown, and will sometimes make notes of recipes he thinks we might like.<BR/><BR/>But it is rare for him to assemble a cooked meal, although he will often help with various aspects of preparation. When I am too wrecked or busy to cook we normally get take-out. He wishes to emphasize that he has OTHER important skills, such as driving.<BR/><BR/>Barefoot--he generally is in and out of all kinds of stores quickly, the exception being comic book stores and toy stores where he comes close to what I would call normal browsing behavior.<BR/><BR/>Moishe Q.--are you asking if I share an e-mail address with the fella, or if I have a public one? You can reach me at balabustainbluejean@yahoo.com, but warn me if you send mail, since I check it very rarely.BBJhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09939946821381798057noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13782978.post-1126747544481465662005-09-14T18:25:00.000-07:002005-09-14T18:25:00.000-07:00Do you share an email address?Do you share an email address?Moishehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12479864071840376086noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13782978.post-1126740092733531592005-09-14T16:21:00.000-07:002005-09-14T16:21:00.000-07:00Love your description, and one which I can relate ...Love your description, and one which I can relate to 100 percent!<BR/><BR/>My husband does not like to shop, and will go to great lengths to avoid any store where I go, unless it is for plants.BarbaraFromCaliforniahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16154135502964236043noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13782978.post-1126715706226374292005-09-14T09:35:00.000-07:002005-09-14T09:35:00.000-07:00I have a couple of questions (the behavioural scie...I have a couple of questions (the behavioural scientist in me can't help it!) :<BR/><BR/>Does your fellow cook? How is he in other stores, like sporting goods, automotive, electronics, etc.?<BR/><BR/>I love to cook and I love books. So I love to browse and buy and appreciate. I also like to browse in order to mentally catalogue stuff for future reference, and have an affinity for tools of all sorts. My ex and I used to spend hours in a bookstore, browsing. Uber-landlady, on the other hand, is just like Mirty's husband.<BR/><BR/>A fascinating theory, nevertheless!Barefoot Jewesshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10314662288895645809noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13782978.post-1126715425875030402005-09-14T09:30:00.000-07:002005-09-14T09:30:00.000-07:001.

Although in her defense, I really like to cook and she doesn't)<BR/><BR/>2. The basis of your theory is quite sound and actually explains many of the basic differences between how men and women think. That having been said, some of it is also environmental. I was raised more or less exclusively by my mother since my father died when I was young. As a result I can shop either way, though I prefer to browse more on my own than if I am with someone else. My wife on the other had tends to be the opposite, she will tend to browse much more if I am with her than if she goes shopping on her own.<BR/><BR/>3. The grocery shopping is actually an interesting problem. My wife doesn't really cook, so I have no idea what kind of grocery shopper she is, but if I have a list I shop like by going exactly where the items are. (I know the grocery store very well as I worked in it for nearly a year) But if I go shopping with out a list I will take my time going up and down lanes of food. (I do get upset though I try not to show it when I get held up in a lane.)Little Wolfhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14953913685682155134noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13782978.post-1126672432361997872005-09-13T21:33:00.000-07:002005-09-13T21:33:00.000-07:00If Defending the Caveman ever comes your way...def...If Defending the Caveman ever comes your way...definitely go and see it.
