Spouse sounds like something disgusting and hairy that you spit out of your mouth.
I am blessed that the wonderful lady who rules the kitchen in our house lets me call her my wife. I am lucky when I can surprise her with a clean and straightened kitchen now and then.
I don’t like to cook especially if something takes a while as I never really think about food until I am hungry and food doesn’t even really look appealing unless I am hungry (so I grocery shop when hungry). When I had the kid in the house I had to cook more since DHS takes a dim view of not doing that. Kid did not like doing dishes (even though she chose that chore off of the list of chores she could choose so she only had herself to blame) so the deal was I cook you do the dishes. You cook I do the dishes. You put hot spices (am a super taster and even a couple of grains of pepper are really hot to me and she uses cayenne pepper as if it was water) in my share of what you cook you also do the dishes and the toilets (a chore she didn’t pick when off the weekly list she chose to clean everything else in the bathroom).
I grew up in my Dad’s restaurant, so I have always had a love of cooking. Although I enjoy most of what my wife can put together in the kitchen, she enjoys my cooking more. So, I cook most of the time. (Our daughter, however, went to culinary school and became a chef. Her work in the kitchen is superior. She now runs her own restaurant, but it is in a different state.)
Me.
/showme who does most of the cooking in my house
@awk
Eat out much?
@awk Wow. That is so gross! That AI needs some therapy.
It shared 3 ways in my house.
Me,myself,and I
@Cerridwyn
That was my thought too!
Well, since @charliedoggo refuses to cook…
@tinamarie1974 And even if he did, you probably wouldn’t like it…
@Kyeh @tinamarie1974 There’d probably be a lot of peanut butter.
@Kyeh @xobzoo you are both correct!!!
DoorDash, Domino’s, or whoever has a Groupon.
Cooking?
Is there a minimum standard to apply, or does “milk on cereal (and the counter)” count?
(If we’re loose with definitions, my kids “help” a lot with the cooking.)
@xobzoo Milk on cereal counts as soup and soup counts as cooking thus you are cooking. See? Logic works. Right?

It’s kind of a toss up between SWMBO and I…
@chienfou Since I retired and have more time on my hands, I have taken over most of the cooking. I (mostly) enjoy it and my wife doesn’t mind a bit.
@macromeh
Good plan!
C’est moi mais maintenant mon fils veut! I mean the nerve!
And for @mike808 I know Mardis Gras was Tuesday but I did think of you!
@sillyheathen “Mom Shef”
@Kyeh that’s my youngest. She’s been really into making place cards. It cracked me up with the shef so I couldn’t bear to take it out.
@sillyheathen I love it.
Whomever gets tired of waiting for dinner first
What proportion of the userbase here even has a household size greater than one?
That’s a fair question, but of the ones I can think of, I would say at least 50%

Cooking? What is this cooking of which you speak?
@Chakolate That is when you put a microwave dinner in the microwave for 4.5 minutes. Anything else is actually called chemistry.

@olperfesser
Good job!
@olperfesser Time to move?
I do the outside grill cooking, my wife does almost all of the indoor cooking in the kitchen…
I cook for me, hubs cooks for him. In between there’s GrubHub.
We mostly split it up equitably when chef take-out doesn’t take over.
