TV on mute

Watching TV on mute 

Does anyone else do that? 

A couple of people in my family do 

I guess you have to be a visual person

Not to need the audio so much 

Sometimes over breakfast 

The TV is on and a cooking show is in progress  

And we make comments as we watch

-That is a huge steak she is cooking

-It could feed fifteen people

-I don’t like steak 

-Look like it’s medium rare

-Not quite cooked inside 

-Oh, now she is cutting thin slices to make a sandwich

-The sub style sandwich is so big

-What size mouth do you need to eat that?

-I don’t like chewing my meet for so long

The lady keeps smiling 

And moving her lips

And we have no idea what she is saying 

But we get the general idea 

By the way most of those comments were made by me

When there is no audio, I add mine

Let’s cook up a storm

 

So tell me dear, do you cook?

Can you make fesenjoon*, or tah cheen*?

Can you make curry or a quiche?

Only when I choose to

Only when I wish…

When friends are over

And bring some cheer

When the time is right

When I feel like it…

That’s when I cook!

 

When Venus is in Saturn

And Jupiter dances with Pluto!

When the stars are just so

And the moon just so

When I’m happy and inspired

When I’m rested and not tired

That’s when I cook!

 

When the mood is right and

Friends come to play

When I think of the smile

I’ll see on their faces!

That’s when I cook!

 

Cooking is an art

So I hear

And relaxing too

I find that weird!

As for me

When I want to make others happy

That’s when I cook!

Support group for women who don’t love to cook

 

First, we acknowledge that cooking is an art
An art that brings joy to the hearts

Second, we believe that not all women love to cook
That would be, after all, absurd
Not all women love to sew or knit
So why should we all love to cook

Third, we encourage men to cook
At least some of the time

Fourth, please understand us and support us
We don’t mean to be unkind

Fifth, dinner will be made in under an hour
More time in the kitchen is harmful to us

Sixth, The occasional preprepared meal is allowed
Pizza, hamburger, pierogi and so on

Seventh, we hope you really appreciate it when we cook
It takes a lot of effort for us

Eighth, It’s not easy to cook day after day
If you don’t believe us give it a try
