More you, more your mate, more your kids (my youngest daughter cooks like a dream), shared, or something else ?
Do you have a dish that you are famous for, one that family members will request often ?
Here we like to cook together, it is good time to talk and share some personal time together, though my youngest daughter has her times, quite often lately, where she will kick us out of the kitchen and happily create some of the most awesome of meals I have ever eaten. She can turn her hand to anything, but seems to have an affection for Italian foods and dishes, and she does it extremely well.
I am often asked to make my Aunt Gloria Berdini's lasagna, and Cassoulet, both of which I love to indulge in, but require me to spend more time in the gym and on the course walk.
*BTW, men who cook are considered to be sexy, honest, I have had more than one conversation with women over the years, and cooking is in the top 5 things that make a man sexy.

My wife does the majority, I pitch in regularly. The girls are learning, 12 year old made scratch pumpkin pies (bought canned pumpkin) for holiday, her 8 year old sister made pumpkin roll, mama supervised.

I do 98% of the cooking. My wife has a limited range of recipes that she does really well so when she wants to make her Chicken Piccata or Pad Thai or a couple other dishes I step aside.

Pretty much a toss-up here.

50/50 here, we fight over who gets to cook. French silk pie is the most requested.

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 . . .

Sounds good, any chance of a recipe, even, maybe, please Miss Lynn - I'm assuming you are requesting the cookie recipe. So, here ya go! Oatmeal Raisin CookiesYou will need:1 stick of butter, softened ¾ cup firmly packed dark brown sugar ½ cup dark molasses 2 eggs 1 teaspoon vanilla 1 1/2 cups of all purpose flour 1 teaspoon baking soda 1 teaspoon cinnamon ½ teaspoon salt 3 cups old fashioned oats (uncooked) 1 cup raisins ½ cup (or more) chopped walnuts (I like black walnuts, BTW.) How to prepare:Preheat oven to 350 degrees. In a large bowl, beat butter, sugar and molasses on medium speed until creamy. Add eggs and vanilla; beat well. Add combined flour, baking soda, cinnamon and salt; mix well. Add oats, raisins and walnuts. Mix well. Drop rounded tablespoonsful onto ungreased cookie sheet and bake for 8 to 10 minutes. Allow to cool and eat . . . or store . . . Enjoy .

I so, love, love, love, love, love, oatmeal cookies, and the fact that they have molasses in them makes them twice as impressive as that ! Thank you, so very, very, much ! I bought new cookie sheets yesterday and they are about to get a workout big time !

About 70/30 wife, then I. She is off of work earlier than I so she normally does dinner during the week. I enjoy cooking just don't have the knowledge.
