I Thought There Were More Fire Trucks Racing Around Today...

Must be due to the fact that is is National Men Make Dinner Day. And direct from the web site are the Top 10 Reasons to Participate.

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 neighbourhood 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!

Personally, I would do liquid nitrogen ice cream for dessert!

Women like it when a man makes dinner for them. (even if it is a carry out pizza) It is an intimate gesture and downright nice thing to reciprocate once in a while.

I've always wondered, could you deep fry food by putting a microwave oven on its back, filling the cavity with cooking oil, dropping in, say, frozen french fries, and hitting the high button for 5 minutes?

When it comes to cooking in my place, it's either me or the cat. (Actually, he's not bad, but I get sick of fish.)

Orbs, I think you have the true spirit of Men Make Dinner Day! By any chance were you visited by ghosts last night to show you the true meaning?

I love a man who can cook...since I can't. I always show my appreciation too :)
