jewellsmommy Posted July 13, 2012 Share Posted July 13, 2012 I generally say, "No, you cannot have a snack. I am making dinner right now!" :D I will also say that I have to prepare a meal for somebody. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ravinlunachick Posted July 13, 2012 Share Posted July 13, 2012 I usually say, "I'm fixin' [insert food item or meal here] now." Sometimes I say, "I will make that," or "I've made that before." I only prepare for disaster. :lol: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SKL Posted July 13, 2012 Share Posted July 13, 2012 I will say "I'm going to 'get' you some ___." But if I'm talking about the specific act of cooking, I'll say "make" (or "cook"). Because "getting" includes pulling out the ingredients, preparing, and serving. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Delirium Posted July 13, 2012 Share Posted July 13, 2012 Like Parrothead I cook dinner and make breakfast but lunch could be either depending on whether I need to turn on the oven. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BatmansWife Posted July 13, 2012 Share Posted July 13, 2012 Make. I usually say, "I'm fixin' [insert food item or meal here] now." Sometimes I say, "I will make that," or "I've made that before." I only prepare for disaster. :lol: I guess I make a disaster (pretty much everytime I cook). :ohmy: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
swimmermom3 Posted July 13, 2012 Share Posted July 13, 2012 If you are talking about what you do for your family in the evening, what would you say? I wish you had not asked this. Now I am thinking about how weird it sounds to say that I "fix" a meal. Do I fasten dinner to the table? Do I repair the meal? Well, "yes" occasionally to that last question.:D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I do sometimes have to repair a meal myself, but usually I "make" meals. "Preparing" sounds too fancy for what happens around our house. Sometimes we just "throw (insert name of meal) together."

meena Posted July 13, 2012 Share Posted July 13, 2012 Make or fix. When we were first married, my husband would tease me whenever I used fix-- "Is dinner broken?" :) The city-boy has since become accustomed to my country-girl phrases.

Guest Posted July 13, 2012 Share Posted July 13, 2012 Usually make. Sometimes I perhaps would say fix. Prepare sounds formal and I would be unlikely to say that unless it's Thanksgiving or something. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I do sometimes have to repair a meal myself, but usually I "make" meals. "Preparing" sounds too fancy for what happens around our house. Sometimes we just "throw (insert name of meal) together." Yes! Throwing the meal together, although that term makes me think of the first time I made pot roast early on in my marriage. I made the roast "just like my mother does" and was so excited to see the expression on my food-loving dh's face. He came home from work and walked into the kitchen to see me. I was shaking the very hot gravy and flour together in a gravy strainer. Dh told me he had stopped with a coworker after work and had a Stanwich's burger (everything but the kitchen sink), so he wasn't hungry.:001_huh: Just at that moment, the gravy strainer exploded and there was gravy dripping from the ceiling, and running down dh's tie. Even the cat was wearing it. Dh took one look at my face and informed me that he was very hungry and couldn't wait to have his pot roast. To this day if I cook dinner, he never says that he is too full or that he had the same thing for lunch. Smart man.:D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
West Coast Mom Posted July 13, 2012 Share Posted July 13, 2012 I make dinner. When my Southern roots pop up I'm, "fixing to make dinner." If I've goofed dinner up, then I try to fix it (or order pizza). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LaxMom Posted July 13, 2012 Share Posted July 13, 2012 (edited) I prepare/cook/assemble/whatever food to make supper and other meals. The meal is made by the preparation and assembly of a variety of foods. So I make supper. Because really, I don't want to expend so many words in the description of what I'm doing.

Farrar Posted July 13, 2012 Share Posted July 13, 2012 I cook dinner. I fix lunch, and I make breakfast. Me too. But why? I will say I'm "fixing" dinner, but only if it's assembly or reheating, not cooking. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

swellmomma Posted July 14, 2012 Share Posted July 14, 2012 I say I am cooking the meal, even if it is not a meal that is being cooked, like cereal for breakfast. I still say I am cooking breakfast. It comes from ds13 telling me I was a good 'cooker' when he was almost 2 no matter what I fed him, even if all i did was tear the lid off the yogurt.

Belacqua Posted July 14, 2012 Share Posted July 14, 2012 Usually, make. If it takes no effort beyond reheating, I'll get or find. If there's some effort involved but the ingredients are already made (such as complicated sandwiches), I'll put together. Or assemble, if I'm feeling fancy. Sometimes, I slap together or scrounge up. Occasionally, I'll ruin. Never fix, though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
