In the tradition of Papa John, Chef-Boy-R-Dee, Arthur Treachers, Col. Sanders, Ronald McDonald and the Godfather I present to you NATIONAL MEN MAKE DINNER 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 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.

Lots of good recipes there!

I liked this from the glossary;

STRAIN: to stretch neck around corner of kitchen to see what wife is doing while you're making dinner. :yum:
 
By total fluke it just so happens I'm making dinner tonight:
brats and sauerkraut :D

Good addition Shep!!! :thumb:
 
I make dinner every day but Thanks Giving Family reunion. That's when my wife tries to prove to my family that she, also, can cook.

So this is a no brainer for me.
Seems like most days are no brainer days for me anymore.

Conveniently, I qualify.

Women make such a big deal out of the cooking thing. It's no big deal really. Anybody can cook a decent meal. Ok, except for My mom, which is why I learned to cook. Mom, bless her heart, could not burn water as is often said. But, she could make it taste really, really, bad.

Now, as for the cleanup after? That's an accomplishent.

Wife actually made breakfast this morning for me and the birds. Actually I think she only made it so the birds were happy. Omelet with celery,onions and fresh tomatoes from the greenhouse. Topped it with melted shredded cheddar!:clap:

I made one gallon of fresh oysters ($90) into 2 gallons of oyster stew for our Masonic Lodge tonight. For 12 guys it was plenty. Many of the members rellish the stew, as no one at home will eat oysters with them. I am one warm fat happy puppy tonight. The cook always gets his share.:smile: Got a feeling though it may cause a trip to the bathroom in the night:whistling:or two.....I drank coffee as well...:sad:

Anyway I really warm up to a big bowl of Oyster stew this time of year. Great way to take the chill off. It woud seem the younger generation don't partake in it anymore, maybe I'm wrong about that....

Regards,

Kirk
 
Kirk, I haven't had oyster stew for years!
Thanks for the reminder.
My Grams used to make a mean oyster stew, with the little crackers floating in it.
Gosh, I miss her!
 
I am retired and the wife is still working so I need this, especially number 1. Maybe I could get Franc Sevin to give me cooking lessons. And yes his wife does not cook all that much, well I cannot say I have ever seen her cook.
 
The older generation around here used to have it as a featured dish this time of year. Christmas especially. Sad, but as I said the younger generations didn't seem to catch on as much. It would be interesting to see how sales compare on ostyers through the years.

Recipe is simple, equal amounts of milk or cream, or both, to the oysters. Add the amount of butter you like, and heat to 180 deg or so. Salt to taste, and it takes a bit, so be carefull. Pepper to taste as well. I add just a touch of garlic powder as I love garlic. Do not let it boil!!! Not only will you ruin it, but you'll make a mess that is bad as well.

Enjoy!

my Dad used to make oyster stew- canned milk, butter, i think, pepper & canned oysters, then pour the crackers in- i despised it. he overcooked already overcooked oysters further. he made dinner most nights & usually it was great unless he made pork into leather. (only now has my Mom begun to cook, for her new love.)

i only liked oysters after i bought some, taught myself to shuck 'em, & slurped them raw. one of my most beloved foods now
