Does pregnancy provide you with cooking skills?

In my marriage one of us does most of the cooking. It's not me.

I used to really suck at cooking. These days I'm a bit better, because I've learnt a lot from my husband over the years. But I still suck compared to him, so I do not really see the point of cooking.

I mean, I love good food, so why should I eat less good food, when my husband can make miracles in the kitchen?

Lately though, I've been cooking a bit more than usual. I'm not sure if it's because I'm so much more hungry, being pregnant and all that, that I can't be bothered to wait for my husband to get of his ass to make me food. Or if it's just that my husband has been extra lazy recently.

I don't know, but anyway, I have been cooking. And the strange thing is that it's tasted pretty nice. My husband has even praised my food a few times, and that does not happen normally, believe me! Today he even said that there is hope for our unborn daughter.

So, is it possible that pregnancy actually also provides you with some sort of cooking skill, for the survival of the human race? Or is it just my husband being smart, realizing that if I haven't learnt now, I will never learn, so it's better encouraging me, even if my food suck, as our kid is going to have to eat it once in a while anyway.

You can cook now? Hahahahaha. If you can cook then I can cook. And we both know I can't. Hehe

That's so mean! You evil person! I've never cooked for you, so you don't know my secret skills. Just wait, I will cook for you and prove you wrong! There you have it!

You must get Sandra to cook for your!

mmmm yummy...

Little drops: That was 10 years ago you witch! As my post said, I used to suck, badly, but I've learnt a little bit over the years.

I have now excluded both of you from my "friends that are encouraging list".

I came across this blog looking for a beauty salon where I could take my very pregnant sister (no fumes, that kind of thing). Pretty funny, especially after I read the explanation for the name "God is Great Beauty Salon"!
A couple things I want to say:

- I've never been much of a cook, so I have eaten plenty of cardboard falafel and soggy soy sausage... it's really not that bad...

- I wouldn't be surprised if pregnancy improved cooking skills. Seems to have been true for my sister and my best friend. Anyway, the more you cook, the better you cook. Hasn't worked so well for me. But I hear that it's true.

- Those who can cook, do. Those who can't, bake. I can make a mean chocolate cake.

- Be well, strangers! Enjoy everything!

Cunada23, thanks for your comments.

Sadly I'm neither good at cooking or baking :)

But as you said that pregnancy has provided both your sister and best friend with better cooking skills, I'm feeling quite optimistic now :)

Take care!
