Is making a sandwhich cooking? (1 Viewer)

[Mr. Cross]

My wife has complained that she does not think it is fair she has to cook every meal. So I cooked some ham sandwiches and served with Lays chips for dinner last night. She says that is not cooking because it is not hard. As if cooking rice for every meal is hard.

I think you may be attempting to influence the outcome.

 

[Freelove]

I'd say you made dinner, but did not cook dinner. Opening a bag of chips didn't really push it the extra mile.

 

[MikeIke]

If my 7-year-old can do it, it's not cooking.

 

[Bucky86]

Are you still in college? Make a real meal for your family.

 

[trogg78]

Your wife got a raw deal.

I heated the ham in a skillet.

 

[Parrothead]

Ramen Noodles would be cooking..

There is a decent chance his wife is in high school.

Where does "baking" fall within cooking? I personally don't considering it cooking.

 

[Kal El]

If the sandwich needs to be grilled, then it can be considered cooking. Otherwise, it's simply preparing food.

Cooking.

Seriously?

Seems like cooking to me.

 

[Josie Maran]

Does she like the crusts cut off?

I was thinking along the lines of cupcakes, cookies, etc. not being a meal per se, but I'll take being wrong on this one.

Pastry chef.

Sandwich artist.

Making a hot ham sandwich - not cooking.

Grilling said sandwich - cooking.

is heating soup in a microwave cooking?

Heat may or may not be necessary, but is certainly not sufficient.

 

[Tom Servo]

Spoken like someone who knows how to treat a girl.

 

[johnnycakes]

Nuke some hot dogs next time. That's cooking

Junior high cafeteria food has spoiled her.

 

[avoiding injuries]

cook[ kook ]

verb (used with object)

1. to prepare (food) by the use of heat, as by boiling, baking, or roasting.

2. to subject (anything) to the application of heat.

And it looks like I've been pronouncing kook wrong every time I read one of Todd's posts.

 

[Long Ball Larry]

were these steamed hams?

She is 18. I regret starting that topic now.

Wait.. what? is this real life?

 

[otello]

It is cooking, much like using a dishwasher is doing the dishes.

 

[Freelove]

FTR, I didn't answer the poll, because to me, sandwich implies a couple pieces of bread with some stuff in between. Cooking implies cooking something. The two aren't mutually exclusive, but one doesn't exactly imply the other, either. You're cooking if you do up a cheesesteak or a French dip or something, but not if you slap some cold cuts on Wonder bread.

Poll reveals nearly 50/50 split.

I think your wife should file for divorce

 

[FlapJacks]

ask her if she'd prefer some hot beef

 

[dozer]

Obviously it counts as cooking.

Thanks he almost got me

 

[Yankee23Fan]

My wife says that's cooking. You provided a meal.

 

[Cjw_55106]

I may be arguing semantics, but this is my stance. If you cook regularly, making sandwiches is fine and "counts". If she is riding you to help out with the cooking and you provide sandwiches, that's a fail IMO.

 

[Osaurus]

To take it a step further, I think most people assemble food these days rather than cook.

Unless the goal is to get her to throw her hands up in disgust and vow to do it herself forever after.

I'da just brought home takeout.

I assume the fact that he started this thread, his goal wasn't to get her mad. He honestly seems to think his effort was legit.

Unless that's what he wants us to think, while he secretly harbors a far more nefarious agenda..

I'd like to see the sandwich.

 

[The Big Guy]

What is this "Sandwhich" that you are asking about? At least you are consistent in your horrific spelling.

 

[Henry Ford]

What do you think "cooking" is? Making food? Did you cook the ham?

 

[Chaka]

What you did is not cooking.

 

[KCitons]

This kind of falls into the same category as "what is sex"?

Making a sandwich is to cooking, what kissing is to sex.

Since you heated up the ham, that would be the same as over the cloths groping.

I agree if all you are getting is rice. But have you ever heard anyone say "cook a sandwich"?
