One of my distant relatives keeps her kitchen always messy near the gas stove!

Reason: She has to keep everything on the platform so that she need not walk to take the needed items!

But, I never maintain even the 'anju aRaip petti', fondly known as 'anjalap potti'!

Reason: I can walk a few steps to take each of the ingredients needed for cooking, from the cupboard!

Some women get wild when some one takes over the Kitchen for whatever reason - eitherr by the Husband or cook hired! will make comments - the Pannikai type! & may throw hysterical behaviour!
 
I think Men excell in Cooking orNalabagam The problem is cleaning after cooking ! They lack cleaniness! It becomes an Herculian task like Cleaning the Augian stable
very well said. really hitting the spot.
when i was in a forward area in HP. our cooking was done by a friend from Madras regiment the cleaning was my job. despite the cold conditions i agreed as my tummy was always taken care.
regards

most non career type women have displacement fears.

they feel kitchen is their domain .

they fear cook or someone else will take away their role.

they also criticize the cooking of anybody else using their kitchen
 
When you cook and if some item becomes very tasty and is enjoyed (even though it may be just your wife/husband only, and not many people) you get a particular elation and that works as an intensive for you to cook yet another day. May be some women have not received such appreciation!
 
One of my close friends went on spending hours together in the kitchen when she visited her son in the U S of A.

Her d i l had the brahmAsthram (viz) 'ungaLai mAdhiri yArumE samaikka mudiyAdhu, ammA!!' :)
 
Ever since I became an orphan in my early twenties, I have been 'dependent' on food served by canteens, messes and middle-class hotels for a couple of decades before I got married eventually. Not without a cost in terms of health! Twice in the course of those two decades, I was stricken with 'hepatitis' -- once, while in New Delhi and eating out in South Indian hotels there and a second time, in Bombay (now, Mumbai) eating out in Karnataka restaurants there! More than the 'stale' food items, kept in fridge, re-cooked and served, it is the 'water' served in hotels, messes and canteens that is often contaminated and not boiled and / or purified! Those 'water-coolers' from where they collect supposedly 'potable water' are also found to be in pathetic conditions very often. Apart from 'hepatitis' that struck me twice, I had also suffered from recurrent bouts of 'constipation' and 'diarrhea' because of unhygienic food and water!

I think we should restrict hotel food to once or twice a month...In worst case once a week max...

Dear Ganesh,

Do you think the once or twice eating out will save you from 'Delhi belly'? Let me share an experience.

A wedding in my family circle was conducted in a newly opened KalyANa mandapam in T' nagar, a few years back.

Whoever had buttermilk on the very first meal was affected with severe diarrhea and vomiting - reason unknown then!

The next morning, the tap water had a sickening smell and two dead rats were found in the water stored in the over-head tank.

So......... the buttermilk had 'that' tap water added on the previous day and made many of us sick.

Since then, I have stopped even tasting uncooked items like raithA, thogaiyal, curry with fresh coconut topping, buttermilk

and pAn served in the wedding feasts in Sing. Chennai! :cool:
