Cooking Contest or cooking game online?

Have you ever entered an argument which seems to have no end? This seems to be a part of nature, because there were questions as they can never be a satisfactory response to two or more parties. In the famous musical Fiddler on the Roof Anatefka village is depicted as a place where everyone lives in peace and harmony, with the exception of an ongoing conflict that never ends. One of the villagers say he bought a horse from another, but I got a mule. The seller is of course argue that in fact delivered a horse. Also in The Lord of the Rings books by Tolkien, elves and dwarves both claim to be the best racing. This eternal conflict seems even more because of the extremely long lifetime of these races.

Well, I had such a question is repeated in my head once endless. Back on these moments I realize that it was a vain and futile question. But I was young and inexperienced, and I used to do many things that were not worth it. This particular issue has been my belief that men are better cooks than women. I do not know how I got the idea, I think it's the natural rivalry that occurs between teenagers of the opposite sex. Maybe it was my male pride, I guess if it was my belief, I could stay with him and be happy. But noooooooooooo reason felt I had to put my idea to someone and prove I was right.

Well, I was not very smart either, because I finally told one of my girlfriends. I tried to be casual about it, but I ended up forcing the issue for no apparent reason whatsoever. She was not happy with all, or course. She must have thought I was a chauvinist pig, but instead put me in my place when it should, it took a defiant stance and difficult (I guess insanity runs on both juvenile males and girls). We both have testified in favor of our position, and frankly, some of them had nothing to do with men or womens capacity to cook. Unable to convince me that she finally got challenged to a contest.

The idea of competition was very simple, we went to my place, and we each choose 5 cooking games online. So we both played all 10 games and try to beat others. Of course, we had to choose games, which includes a means of measuring our performance, such as timers and score.The person who won more games to win. Of course, I immediately accepted because I played a bit and thought it would be easy for me to contest. Well, not so easy and although I lost, I went with a good fight (6-4 and have always blamed the dirty mouse pad).

Of course, a play kitchen is not the same as real life cooking, so that competition only proved to be better in these games, not that women are better leaders. Today, I do not care. When I go to a restaurant, I want to know if the head is good, is not whether a man or a woman.
