In commenting to feiran about my last LJ post via Google Talk:

me: God, I make one post about cooking, and suddenly I have a billion reviews, all by guy friends. What's up with us knowing so many guys who cook and so few girls who do?
feiran: It's unnatural. They should instead be making babies.
me: LOL
feiran: Silly upstart men.

It's not that you know few girls who know how to cook, it's just that most of us are a)vegetarians and/or b)don't claim exclusive copyright to recipes and/or c)could care the crap less if you use bouillion or boil a chicken bone in some water. Most of us don't have time for that last one because we're busy bringing home the bread for our layabout menfolk.

Make your own kind of music, Dayle. Don't let the haters keep you down.

This is quite true. You are a fabulous cook, my dear. In fact, before my turkey-cum-chicken tetrazzini affair, I was going to bother you for the recipe for that baked ziti that was so delisch.

And you're right about the vegetarian/not-anal-enough females. I like that pissing contests among the less-than-fairer sex still exist in such 'manly' pasttimes as cooking. ( / sarcasm)

I hate to say it, but that baked ziti is one of the easiest recipes out there. I'll throw it your way anytime, just say the word!

Well, if there's anything I've learned from watching ~1 episode of Bravo's Top Chef it's that men are chefs. Women can cook well enough to get by in a housewife's kitchen.

Seriously: they're all cooking the same ridiculous, tiny little lamb shanks, and yet with a few exceptions the men get praised for their innovativeness while the women get an "uh uh, girlfriend, you need to get back to home ec! SUH-NAP!"
