Over the years, many years, it has been mentioned many times, even joked about, how some of the Salem women just cannot cook.
By now, this is a problem for me. Marlena raised several children, (Sami, Eric, Carrie, Brady, Belle) and while I know she was not around for for several years, it just seems impossible to me that by now, at her age, she still cannot cook. Now she may not be a good cook, but the show is trying to tell us she is unable to cut up anything to make a salad, she cannot boil or fry and egg, cannot make a burger?? How hard is it to put a roast into a pan, put on a few seasonings and let it cook? Marlena is not stupid. She may not be a superb cook, but I think she should have been able to feed her children, thru the years.
The same goes for Hope. It is not funny any more. I hated she had to take Ciara to the Pub to have breakfast. Ridiculous. (Ciara was little then, but Shawn was already a grown man).
Is it really so hard to pour cereal in a bowl and add milk, or put bread into a toaster, butter it, and spread a bit of jam?
Whenever there is to be a big meal with a lot of people......Caroline to the rescue. The only thing that comes out of the home kitchens is tea. Guess boiling water and plopping a tea bag is the extent of their abilities.
Sorry, I just get exasperated with the smirking over "she can't cook".
