Considering that the kitchen is HER'S and not mine, it's hard to do anything in there, but grab a snack or a beer for myself. On one hand I'm very lucky, that she excels and loves, being a housewife. Like the garage is my man cave, the kitchen and those tools in there, are her woman cave. I learned long ago not to mess with HER tools. You may read that as being sexist. It's not at all, when she will tell you flat out, she's a domestic engineer and damn proud of it. She truly loves her career as a housewife. And since she's a feisty little Sicilian I damn sure ain't arguing with her over who's kitchen it is. Gawd I'm a lucky man!
