I started doing most of the cooking as well as being "Mr Mom" when my bride went back to work full time after our youngest was in grade school. She also went back to college at nights while working full time. I have carried on with the majority of cooking duties even after the kids were on their own and Mrs Otter got her degree. When she retired she offered to get back in the kitchen and pitch in and even take over the cooking. After a few nights of that I basically requested that she leave the cooking to me because she was cutting into my kitchen "Zen" time . . . She left skid marks on the floor in her haste to leave. Don't get me wrong, she is a good cook, she just doesn't really enjoy it - I do. She is queen of the kitchen when it is time for baking cakes, pies & etc. I do the pie crusts and bread and an occasional batch of oatmeal-molasses-raisin-walnut cookies. The rest of the baking is up to her . . .
