Is it acceptable to think of a peanut butter and honey sandwich as “home cooking” if you’re a bachelor?

    Absolutely.

    If you dirty a utensil during preparation and don’t use said utensil for the meal, then it’s cooking.

    Yes. It’s also acceptable to add frozen mixed veggies to a bowl of Top Ramen and call it a “special recipe” if you’re a bachelor.

    Will we see a gender divide in the comments on this post?

    I’d say; not unless you make it into a toasted sandwich… ;) Still sounds tasty though!

    @ Jacob: Even I can fathom a rule like that! Thanks!

    @ Jefferson Davis: I’d call that dining in style!

    @ Lirone: Mmmm… I can still remember the first time I toasted a peanut butter sandwich — delicious!

    Sheesh I must be hungry.

    Unless you made the sandwich outside your home, it is still home cooking.

    That makes sense to me, Dinesh!

    Oy vey. Memories.

    My father, always serious, steadfastly insisted that pouring cold cereal into a bowl and then drowning it with milk was cooking. As was making toast.

    Your PB and H sandwich definitely qualifies under his definition.

    Yes, chef.

    Your father’s insights into cooking closely match my own, Annie! :)

    is the question about what is acceptable or what is cooking?

    Sorry, Paul, but that would be a big “No.” But it can still be considered “A yummy lunch.” :)

    Mmm.. peanut butter and honey. Was it grilled? Maybe panini pressed?

    @ Afronad: I think it’s both. :)

    @ Karen: It’s not cooking? Drat! :)

    @ Ordinary Girl: That sounds so delicious! :)

    LOL! Yes, it can. You are doing much better than me.

    @ Kris: My cooking is often mistaken for building materials by those not already familiar with it.
