That's right mommy, you read it right! Men Make Dinner Day is celebrated every 1st Thursday in November, which happens to be this Thursday, November 3, 2011.
There are rules to this day ladies:
- He MUST participate, no if, ands, or butts about it.
- He is required to select a known recipe from any published source. (No time for playing around it's got to be good)
- He must purchase any necessary ingredients HIMSELF.
- Main course must include a minimum of 4 ingredients.
- He must use kitchen utensils, pots and pans. No cheating with going out or ordering in. He can do that for you this weekend.
- It would be a great touch to add romance such as candles, wine, and music.
- He must do all clean up afterward and no complaining along the way!
- You cannot assist hiim in any way!
You deserve it and should take full advantage of the remote control while kicking your feet up on the coffee table while he's sweating away in the kitchen. Even better, take a nice long bubble bath and get as pretty or comfortable as you like. "Oh Garson, may I have another glass of wine please?"
Finishing touch: If he does extremely well, give him a hug, kiss, and politely return his beloved remote control.
