    I guess I'll vote bacon?

    My wife is a full-time mom and homemaker right now, so she does most of the cooking. Come spring, I'll run the grill 3-4 nights a week at least. She'll do the prep work, I'll cook, and we both clean up.

    I do all the cooking and shopping. my wife grew up with cooking being anything boiled, they had boiled steak, chicken, pork, you name it it was boiled and not even seasoned! at least some salt and pepper man! needless to say she had an epiphany once we were together.

    When my wife had quad bypass in 1996 it became cook or starve for me. She got used to my cooking and hasn't cooked a meal since.

    I would estimate I cook about 40% of the time, but I should be around 70% will all my wife does. I wish I could discipline myself to make large re-heatable meals on Saturday that will last through the week. Pasta dishes can go a long way in the winter.

    That's the way to do it. My wife puts up a couple of casseroles on the weekend, and cooks them throughout the week. She'll also make HUGE pots of chili and soups and such, and freeze them in meal-sized containers. A little prep goes a long way....

    I started out doing all of the cooking since my mother-in-law never taught my wife how to cook. I still do most of it but I am teaching her how to cook and she is slowly gaining more confidence and doing better.

    My wife is a better cook than he thinks, but I jacked things up earlier in our marriage by comparing her cooking to her father's, who was chef, and my mother's. Now, she will seldom try a large meal from scratch, but will lean on MRE type meals. But, there are some things she can really knock out of the park.

    The grill belongs to me! :D

    We actually split it about 50-50 because there are some foods I cook and some foods she cooks so it depends on what we're having that day. Philly cheese steak, anything on grill, chili, green bean casserole, and whole chicken/turkey are all mine, she cooks the rest.

    I do ALL the cooking for my family, and extend family. But that mostly comes from working in a kitchen as a teenage to early 20's. And working my way up to working in 2 different 4 star restaurants. Once you get that kind of experience your kind of expected to do all the cooking :-P
