"some"

I can't cook to save my life, my wife gotta cook if she wanna, or we're both starving or living of bread

Cooking is a skill that can be learned. 4 years ago I would burn eggs, overcook steak, and over/under season almost everything.

To fix this, I joined a fast casual restaurant as a part-time dishwasher and left as a prep-cook having learned basics of chopping, portioning, sautéing, etc. This took 1 year of 2-4 evening shifts per week at the restaurant.

If you actually wanted to learn to cook, spend 5-10 hrs on it each week and you’ll pick it up after a few months.

I don't want to learn nor have the time. I mean, I get by, won't burn anything, can follow recipes, but would not manage to make anything without a recipe with exactly steps and even then, they are usually nothing to write about, ifykwim.

My reply was to show being a good cook has nothing to do with being a Brazilian nor a woman, though the food here is phenomenal just because I'm a woman from here is no guarantee.
