I'm in love already.... with the biscuits, and of course I'm open to other potential scenarios
.... I would gladly pay for postage, and whatever other fees are necessary in their production.

I'm glad you mentioned gouda for grilled cheese sandwiches. That's been my fave cheese lately. I'll have to make a gouda grilled cheese sometime soon. I recently used gouda to make a galette. But, anyway...not many things can compared to a scratch made biscuit. Or scratch made anything

I actually have a lot more time up here now to cook and made my first lasagna ever. However, I had to use sour cream instead of ricotta for the bechemal

It should be noted that Gouda cheese does come in a wide range of qualities, and if you really want to get the "echt gouda" you need to get the import from Holland or go to Middleburg in Holland and go straight to the cheese market.

I've been cooking a lot lately...and filling up the What's for Dinner thread lol. As well as the breakfast thread, and a bit of the dessert thread.

I didn't know we had such threads. I will try and find them. Where can I be linked to them?

If men/women traps really work, I don't know enough to try (as this thread was written for laughs and not serious tactics.)

I've spent a good portion of my life trying to avoid traps (not just in dating, but in every area of life -- work, school, and ministry leaders promoting themselves rather than God in the churches I grew up in, etc.)

I suppose I could try to reverse-engineer all the manipulative tactics I saw when trying to avoid them, but I've never had the time, interest, or deceptive-enough nature to try.

I am what I am -- and God helps me get over the hurt and keep moving whenever someone decides I qualify as a "leave" in a "Take It or Leave It" situation.

Giving men too many choices is not the best tactic. There’s too much to analyze and logic doesn’t always work on women.

Instead of “take it OR leave it”, try “take it AND be happy with what you get”

This thread is still active. ....my faith is deeply shaken in the female ability to make grilled cheese sandwiches. For if they really knew how to make one this thread would've been dead a long time ago. Maybe you're using the wrong cheese? Provolone, Havarti, Gouda, how about smoked Gouda with caraway seeds? There must be a way to tweak this thing.

lol, rotfl, I don't have that problem, Their was a time when I wanted to be a chef, (before I knew about Aspergers). So I took 3 years of professional cooking and 2 years of professional baking, if I meet a woman that can't cook, I have the rudimentry skills to teach her.

For a second there I thought you were going to end with "..if I meet a woman who can't cook, I have the ability to take that responsibility on myself".

Silly me, I don't know what I was thinking!

إليكم صورة لبعض ما صنعته مؤخرًا (ونشرته في موضوع الإفطار). أعتقد أنها ستكون مناسبة تمامًا للمناطق الاستوائية...

رائع!Wonderful, ma'am! It looks beautiful and delicious. I'd love to taste it.

I don't know what you were thinking, lol.
Truth be know, I want a traditional home with a single income, I want a woman that wants to work full time as a wife and mother. I want my kids home schooled or sent to a Christian academy, my opinion of public school is so low that toe fungus has higher regards and more respect in my books.

Lol I was mostly messin' with ya, there's nothing wrong with wanting a traditional marriage/family dynamic .

Things just get sticky when our wants don't jive with the hard reality of life. Say a couple starts out traditional but then the husband is unable to work for a bit (illness, bad job market, injury, etc.). So the wife takes a job to keep food on the table and a roof over their heads. Ideally, the husband would take over as many domestic responsibilities as possible for that season, so his ability to cook an edible meal would be a huge bonus.

Unfortunately, sometimes in that scenario the husband expects the wife to earn the dough AND run the household because domestic stuff is "women's work". Dangerous territory... I have seen that very mindset jeopardize marriages because women are not the endless do-it-all machines that some men expect them to be.

Anyways.... that was just a rant and nothing about you personally. I'm sure if the situation arose you would lighten your lady's load any way you could

I used to work with a lot of people and this scenario was very common with the married people I worked with. Some times the wife was also doing the yard work as well. I honestly don't know how they did it. Working full time, doing all the house chores, cooking, and some did the yardwork, and a lot of them had children. I'd be out of my mind lol.

It really is quite common, I can understand it better in cases where both spouses work because women are generally better at running schedules and juggling a lot of details. But when the husband is unemployed and still refuses to lift a finger it really grinds my gears ⚙. Men who do not feel threatened by housework are super attractive in my book!

And on the flipside, I have known some couples where the husband worked full time and the wife did basically nothing, usually due to some disability, depression or unnamed lack of energy. That's not fair either...... you're supposed to be a team and both parties should contribute wherever they are able.

It's like any workplace: if people get hung too hung up over "this is MY job and that's YOUR job and I'm only doing what's MY official job" then eventually somebody is either going to quit or get fired.

Unfortunately there's more at stake in relationships than just a simple paycheck.

lol it's ok, nothing wrong with a sense of humour.
I know but I think that would apply to mostly secular relationships, Plus it also depends on the injury, if a man is permanently paralyzed from the neck down, it's unlikely he will ever be able to do any thing again, it should only be very rare cases it shouldn't be the norm.

I agree women and men have one thing in common, they are human beings and have their limitations to what they are able to handle. Neither one is a machine that can do it all, but I think after the industrial age, we have come to assume that people need to become machines that can operate 24.7 365 days a year. We also forget that God gave us the Sabbath day, a day of rest. Simply because he knew we would need it.

Nothing wrong with a good rant, it's always good to have a healthy way to blow off steam.
Of course I would, I maybe austere, conservative and old fashioned but I am not a heathen lol.

I do nothing and everything at the same time.
