My girlfriend is traditional old school Italian. She cleans the house, and I have to fix broken stuff. I also pay for dinner when we go out. We take turns cooking when we stay home, but that's because I don't like spaguetti every night. It is true. Italians cook pasta too much. I tried explaining to her that we need some variety, and she gave me a choice of Rigatoni, Spinguili, or Vermicelli.
