Funny stuff.
Going to have to tell my partner about it too, as he makes the best yogurt I have ever tasted. And this year he is expanding into trying to make the fruity yogurt timebandit dislikes. We are going to make peach, blueberry and blackberry perserves to try it with. We are going out picking mountain blueberries next week, and I just bought a case of peaches from the Okagnogan that we will process this week end. The black berries on VIsland should be ready the next time we are there too, so we can pick and preserve. He actually cans more than I do. Nor does he like "grilling" on the BBQ, but will, if pressed to do so. Though he does cook all the time, I usually do the baking except for fudge. This is an interesting thread, time wise, as our daughter was just telling us about her friends who think drinking tea is a female thing, and that men who make tea are gay. She laughed at them, as she said her very male 6'7" father was the tea maker of the family, and was always making his own blends for differing physical ailments, including menstruation cramps, and that should she have asked me for tea, she would've gotten a tea bag of the bargin blend type.

Yep, the gender stereotypes are amusing, all right. One of my exes sewed himself a pair of pants. And I don't mean sweatpants, I mean tailored pants, and the result was tolerable. I can barely sew a straight line on a sewing machine.I'm not too bad a cook, but it took me years to get a half-decent repetoire of dishes (and even now, I'm not what anyone would call a great cook). I do like yogurt, but I laughed all through the Official Food of Women bit because it's so true - nowadays, yogurt is being pushed as a laxative for yuppie suburban housewives and professionals who are too sophisticated to get their purging advice from the "ana" sites. Thanks for filling that market niche, Activia! [ 25 July 2008: Message edited by: Michelle ] [ 25 July 2008: Message edited by: Michelle ]
