My wife has a great many awesome qualities but, sadly, she can't cook worth a damn. I love to cook, however, probably because -- unlike her -- I love to eat really tasty stuff (she has always been more of a "food is fuel" kind of person). As a result, I am able to cook a lot of meals that make guests say "wow!" :) (What I never admit is that sometimes the "secret ingredient" that makes dishes so smooth and flavorful is either butter or lard. Shhhh!)
My kids howl with disappointment whenever my wife offers to take a turn in the kitchen. To be fair, though, she has always cheerfully done the dishes.
Diplomacy is the art of saying "Nice doggie" until you can find a rock.
