All of them. I work in kitchens so I know how to bust it out. I hate cleaning but when I do it there is no reason to follow behind me.

I'm pretty good at the kitchen & bathroom cleaning too. However, I fail at laundry. Most of my casual clothes have mysterious spots, stains, and streaks. Work clothes go to the dry cleaner for that reason.

I can wash dishes like a pro. Been doing it for so long now I've got it down to a science.

I also used to work in restaurants. I can cook like nobody's business, and of course clean.

Are you a woman, good looking and single? If so, I'd like to date you.

Does cooking count?

Where I work, we use Lean Manufacturing (world class high efficiency), and at the end of every shift, we have to clean everything (machine, work station, sweep floors, inside the machine, et cetera).

After just five months of working there, I've become an organizational and cleanliness freak. ...So...Cleaning.

Truthfully? I'm a better cook, laundry doer, dishwasher, bedmaker, and pet maintainer than my girlfriend.

I'm also much lazier, so I try not to show off in any of those categories unnecessarily.

I can cook better than all my ex-gf's and my mom combined - My specialties being soups (any kind), Cajun, Tex-Mex, Soulfood, charcoal grilling, and barbeque.

I mow yards real well, too.

I was going to post the exact same thing. Exact.

Well, the only Cajun I cook is crawdads.
