One day, something struck my mind when I watched my partner – Rusty preparing roast tea – roast chicken with potatoes, kumara and pumpkins. I asked him if he has turned over the vegetables and his responses were nope. Why not? He said I don’t really have to turn over, just leave there until ready. Oh crap, and never mind! I said to Rusty.
Our oven is getting very old and barely cook the top only, not the bottom or fan bake with the broken bottom element. I think, and we know the mice or rat been at the back of the oven for many years. We just bought a new fridge-freezer as our old one lasted 28 years several weeks ago. We do have an excellent medium fan bake oven – not a large one. I bought a medium fan bake oven several years ago, and I used to place it on the bench, which is brilliant and quick to cook. I asked Rusty why does he not use this portable fan bake oven. Nope, can not be bothered to take it out of the cupboard! Sigh!
I noticed some of my friend’s husbands do the same things like can not be bothered to turn over, leaving a mess etc.
This picture was taken late afternoon when I got home from work as a specialised community worker for one Deaf with CP (Cerebral Palsy) and speech impaired elderly chap. Rusty was preparing a lovely roast chicken with roast vegetable tonight. He made banana and chocolate chips muffins this morning as he told me.
Hey, about this one? Can man cook a meal or not? Can they follow the instruction or not? I seldom know most men can cook differently from women where else by not reading the instruction. My Rusty does not really follow the instruction, just taking the ingredient out of the cupboard and work out instead of doing the correct measurement. I noticed rather odd for quite a long time – why does he put hot water into the butter, so the butter melt? A couple years ago we bought a microwave as we don’t have one in the last 15 years or more. Rusty saw me putting the butter to melt in the microwave for under 1 minute and put in the wet ingredient when I made a coffee cake. He goes, ohhhh and is that how I do when I am making.
One Deaf with CP and speech impaired elderly chap and everywhere we go out to do his grocery, paying the bills, shopping and lunch. He continuously checks his watch as his habits from his late parents. For example, we must have lunch at 12noon, an afternoon tea at 3pm, and arrive to pick him up on time. He can tell how long we have been travelling from Hamilton to Raglan or to Cambridge.
The reality that men prefer to stick in one path direction by leaving women goes all over the places, moves/shift further outward from one path. Just like men are from Mars, women are from Venus.
Oh well, what do you think?
