Good day,Oshiro and all! You surprised me with your wicked question!LOL
Yes.I think I'm good at cooking,at least better than my BF,according to our children! I had to cook for my brothers since I was 15!Did I care if they liked it or not?!I suppose not! My time was better spent on watching TV or on going out with friends of mine.Am I right?;) Rest assured.My brother is an extreme case.Apart from being independent on my mom at home,he's been a choosy and selfish boyfriend,too...to name just 2 of his weaknesses FYR.;) He used to be spoiled by too many girls/women who were charmed by his looks.We used to be so busy answering the door and the phone looking for him.Can you imagine that?LOL The biggest drawback of his is that he didn't learn to appreciate the women he's been with...:( So don't let your mom spoil you and your brother,all right?;) Some women tend to think it's romantic that their men can cook for them. Try to cook some of your best dishes for your girlfriend,and see how she will react...;) You won't regret it,I promise you!LOL Have a nice week ahead of you and all of us!
