This is my post for #freewriters 2257 prompt lion in the kitchen hosted by @mariannewest
My kitchen has always been my territory. I put the dishes where I wanted them, canned food went in the pantry and boxed foods went in a cabinet next to the stove. I never wanted help while cooking, the kitchen is too small for more than one person.
When I am making jelly or canning fruit my husband does not want as much sugar in his and I refuse to make it without the right amount so he is in the kitchen with me making his own. Yes, I can be a lion in the kitchen when he is in my way.
Many years ago my brother started cooking for his wife of 40-something years. And then several years ago my husband decided that he wanted to do the cooking for us. Now I am thinking about it, I wonder if a man gets tired of eating the same cooking after so many years. There are no complaints from me, but I do still cook, tonight we are having chicken and dumplings made from scratch.
