Ours was pretty static in the old house, and then one day I realized
that one of the things we were doing was kind of stupid. So I decided
we'd do it differently in the new house.
Isn't it great when the men cook? :) Dan does great spaghetti (the
sauce is *excellent*), grills fairly well, and has, in the past, fixed
batches of taco soup. (Fixing a big batch of taco soup is something
that either of us can do, provided the soup-maker is given a break from
the toddler. Fixing a batch of soup with the toddler underfoot would
be, well, interesting, possibly in the Chinese curse sense of the word.)
Oh, and Dan fixes Swedish pancakes sometimes. He did it 3 or 4 weekends
in September. He's been doing it a lot more since we moved -- I guess
the new kitchen agrees with him. (He did a lot of the design of the
kitchen, so that's not surprising, I guess.)
