[QUOTE="InsaneCdn, post: 506161, member: 11791"] Cooking lessons. Per my Dad: (way back in the 19XXs) Every young man, by the age of 18, must know how to: - make coffee and tea - cook eggs three ways (take your pick: fried, boiled, scrambled, poached, omlettes, pickled) - make pancakes [I]from scratch[/I] (not from a mix) - cook ground beef 2 ways (take your pick: plain crumbled ground, meatballs, hamburgers, spaghetti sauce, etc.) - steam veggies - make a salad - bake "something" - cookies, or a cake, or brownies, or... something "snack" or "desert". - set a table - wash dishes - clean a stove - clean an oven - wash the floor He was a first-class chauvinist. Really. But his reasoning was: 1) you'll be on your own for a few years before you get married, so you better be able to look after yourself, and 2) if you're lucky enough to get a wife who does all this FOR you, at least you'll have some clue as to the effort it takes, and appreciate it.
