The only message there is that misogyny has no geographic boundaries

Nice present, that. Bet she enjoyed it and was happy the food she cooked as a result was appreciated. That's what cooking's about, taking pleasure in seeing people relish that what you've put thought and effort into for them. It's a great feeling.
Gonna suggest it as a Father's Day present from the children to my husband. He'd love it, but would probably prefer a curry course to Italian.
What are your specialities when you do cook? Don't you enjoy it?

The only cookery show (if you can call it that) I watch.
I've made it my gastronomical mission to visit as many of the restaurants featured on the show as possible. So far fifteen have been sampled and thoroughly enjoyed. However I've yet to undertake any of the food challenges. Although I've shuffled out of many feeling like I just have. It's when walking from the restaurant through the parking lot to the car, induces a light sweat on the brow and an impromptu rest in the car, that indicates you might have had a tad too much. You know it's job well done.

Having visited 38 of the 50 states and eaten in a variety of restaurants, drive-thrus, roadside diners, truckstops etc. A few observations I can pass on:
Don't ever order 'grits' unless you are partial to a packet of solvite using only 1/3rd of the recommended water
'Biscuits' should never be served at breakfast, especially the usual ones that appear to be made from tri-wall cardboard
Gravy is not white in colour. I don't give a fook what it tastes like, gravy should be brown
The older I get, the better I was

I can handle Adam Richman on M v F. On the contrary, DDD's Guy Fieri is an absolute tool. I'd take pleasure in knocking the Yankee stereotype right the fook out.

tb used to do all the cooking in our household – until I decided that I wanted to learn to cook and took over the kitchen.

Just lightly fried a tuna steak in a smattering of olive oil. Added a drop of balsamic vinegar and red chillies in white wine vinegar to the pan once seared on both sides. Placed it on a bed of basmati rice mixed with finely chopped spring onion and vine tomato's.
