Post by bunniefuu »

[Music]

we make more popcorn Oh Tina daddy's

tired but there's plenty on my shirt

okay don't water Enoch your shirt like

that that's gross you go make some for

you double to shirt this somewhere by

your speech can I see everyone in the

kitchen please no but you can see it's

all on the couch hi mom I guess more

ribs for me then ribs wait a minute I

don't smell ribs kids don't go in there

have a seat now who can tell me what is

wrong with this picture there's no rips

the past week I've been conducting an

experiment I have left this big

disgusting roasting pan right here in

the middle of the table to see how long

it would take before someone bothered to

clean it out actually if you wanted to

make the experiment correct you'd have

to have a control group everyone just

assumes that if there's raw food it's my

job to cook it if there's something

dirty around here it is my job to clean

it what do I need to do hire a tiny

little grease man to stand up in the

middle of the pan and say per-screen

mate tiny little grease I do everything

around here I find the food I cook the

food and sometimes if I'm very quick I

even get to eat the food but you know

what I've had enough tonight I'm gonna

go into the other room and I'm going to

watch TV and when and if I ever do come

back into this kitchen this roasting pan

very clean oh you heard looks like your

mother officially reached her limit now

who had her cracking after seven day

[Applause]

[Music]

we go Fitz little afternoon snack or

something to take the edge off I know if

you've looked at me lately but I don't

got any edges hmm oh my god what is this

pasta Puttanesca it's Italian pasta with

Puttanesca you like it like him it's

alive with flavors hmm let me warn how

to cook this uh one night I turned the

TV on and there was a little late-night

cable show called debbie does dinner

unfortunately Debbie was 72 and dinner

was dinner this is great I can't believe

you learn how to make it from one show

actually I've been watching it ever

since last night I learned how to make

pulled pork which also isn't what I

thought it wasn't right beauty doesn't

make them cooked every night oh well

that's because as far as Judy's

concerned I can't cook I can't fix a car

what i can do is fake a hell of a sneeze

so she thinks I'm allergic to laundry

detergent look at out of a lot of work

just by acting clueless you know I do

the same thing with Miriam only not with

chores I tend to cut corners on certain

preliminary aspects of our lovemaking oh

when it comes to the main event i am

quite proficient

tender when required vigorous if desired

may be quiet oh yeah but I can also be

quite vocal instead hey Dad nobody's

left me on our you doing I need to hide

the evidence oh no I'm eating my little

fishes Brian what are you doing home so

cooking I kept seeing him in there

girlie apron like mrs. Doubtfire was

coming at me I don't know I mean makes

these incredible muffins and you don't

have to have sex with them I don't do

the downside I know it's hard for you to

imagine but I do enjoy my sex life with

Belle okay i'm eating know what my

problem is if it possible that you feel

diminished as a woman because he is you

surfing your role as the nurturing

mother yeah right I want to try to pay a

woman at the mall to breastfeed Lauren

for me ask him to stop cooking what you

crazy the food is fabulous plus I have

all this free time there's just

something about him cooking that makes

my skin crawl maybe it's your button

what are you talking about well if the

girl had the thing that turns a rough

like me I mean I can't even think about

dating a guy who ties one of those

sweaters around his shoulders

would be on that one you just want to

yank the sleeves in toco certain stuff

is just hard liar I mean if you're

wearing pleated pants with the t-shirt

oh really oh yeah fanny pack corduroy

jacket none of it when did you ever

think that you had too many buttons oh

that's another one button fly jeans

where are you Amish I don't know maybe

it's the apron yeah the girly frilly

apron I need to go out and buy him a

manly masculine macho a friend forgot my

sweater see I wouldn't be how about this

one imagine the possibility whimsical

don't you think okay I don't want

whimsical I don't want sizzlemaster I

don't want BBQ tea I want something

manly something a man would wear not a

frilly lady girl I have this apron I'm

so sorry it's just that ever since my

husband started cooking there have been

issues in the household issue you know

marital issues

I need a more manly apron so I could

have sex with my husband again you're

asking a lot from an apron lady

oh you're cooking again I'm just

roasting some lamb shanks but I had an

inspiration at work today I'm gonna make

my own dry rub just using a little pick

up put this on oh hey he bought me a new

I yeah how does it look I don't know

kiss me that was a little hard you know

what you look tired you need to take a

break you know have a beer um I'm

cooking dinner oh you know what I'll do

it you've been cooking for so long now

just checked out apron off and relax go

oh my god good right yeah of course it's

good it's beer what you doing mind if I

watch no I don't know but wouldn't you

rather go watch sports yeah there's

nothing on tonight I'm can i make it a

suggestion you know with onions most of

the stuff that makes you cry is it the

rude end so what I do is I cut it in

half first place the cut side down and

then cut almost all the way through

north to south north

no okay okay you know what I think I

package hmm what you know you should

caramelize those onions before you put

them and sure without a lot of flavor

you know what bill I want to keep it

soon no it is simple I'll show you you

just saw tan to a deep brown and deglaze

the pan with a touch of wine have just a

whisper of shell you've turned into a

woman what I'm sorry I didn't mean that

yes I did you talkin about I'm sorry

bill i know it's old-fashioned but every

time i see you cooking you become this

crucial i put it chef boy r you girly

boy are you girly yeah in my mind oh god

just in your mind come on you must have

something irrational and crazy that

turns you off every time i do it don't

you no not even when i put on those big

manly work boots and downstairs to

fix the furnace and come back up all

covered in grime yeah he's talking bill

I'm sorry you know I tried I just cannot

have sex with you anymore if you

continue to cook that's just ridiculous

I finally find something I'm good at now

I have to give it up because you have

some kind of crazy hang up you know what

maybe maybe I've had enough sex for a

while maybe I can be happy just putting

all my passion into my cooking what are

you doing I'm smashing garlic cloves

smash another one that's not but the

recipe only calls you

now get your flu

what's for dinner you know what we had

last night scream of that delicious I

loved it last night with a fork I love

it tonight with a spoon so what you're

saying is cooking turn off smashing

garlic well kick meet up at bart well I

kind of realized the only way I can get

on board with his cooking was for him to

become the angry or may he didn't want

to be mean the man loves food so we

compromised and agreed that I'll do all

the cooking while he goes back to lying

around doing absolutely wait a minute

[Music]

I wouldn't have it any

way cuz it makes me

[Applause]
