I don't think it's a matter of do they know how to cook or not Mikey, it's a matter of time consumption, also from what I remember their refrigerators over there are very small it seems like and they don't have the room to go to the grocery store and stock up for a week or two's worth of groceries. The big thing I think, when I think about them cooking is that it takes them away from other things they would rather be doing......just a hunch.
Apparently this apartment is D E A D if we are talking about them cooking or not LMAO.......sad, very sad!
