Dinner Time!


Today November 5th is National Men Make Dinner Day.
That's right girls you heard me, take off the apron and hand over the whisk. Get yourself a nice glass of wine and put your feet up!
It's Men Make Dinner Day.
The thought of some men making dinner can be a scary proposition. Perhaps you man's idea of dinner is a frozen pizza and a two-liter of soda. Let him know that there are loads of recipes on the web that can help him out. One of my favorite is recipezaar they have a recipe for everything. If you are one of the lucky ones and your man is well acquainted with your kitchen and can whip up a fabulous gourmet meal in no time, have him pour you a glass of wine and provide an amuse bouche. My man is more of a breakfast chef(that's one of his creations above), you know my solution...Breakfast for Dinner!
In case your man needs a bit more convincing below is a list for why your guy should participate in this fun National Day.

TOP TEN REASONS TO PARTICIPATE IN ‘NATIONAL MEN MAKE DINNER DAY’

10. While cooking, you can still wear your tool belt, simply replace the hammer with a whisk.
9. Several recipes include beer as a legitimate ingredient.
8. The blender, the electric mixer and the food processor are loud enough to drown out anyone in the house who is learning a musical instrument.
7. Whoever is cooking always gets the most attention from the dog.
6. Whatever recipe you choose, you can name it after yourself. Example: tonight’s dinner is called ‘Doug’s Surprise’.
5. Discovering that ‘250 ml’ is the same as ‘8 ounces’ AND ‘1 cup’ is half the fun.
4. Since YOU choose the recipe, it can be a turnip-free night.
3. Some desserts, such as crème brulee, require the use of a propane torch. How much fun is that?!
2. Since other husbands in your neighborhood are also cooking dinner, ironically this could be the ultimate male bonding experience
1. Participating in ‘National Men Make Dinner Day’ gives you optimum points with your wife. Use those points wisely!
