Lenz Orthodontics: Men in Aprons

Calling all men to the kitchen!

November 5th, is National Men Make Dinner Day.

This is the day for men to take charge in the kitchen and cook for their loved ones. Always celebrated on the first Thursday of each November, this day was created by Sandy Sharkey in 2001 for men who don’t know their way around the kitchen, as well as for the women in their lives who need a break.

Unlike other national holidays you’re familiar with…this holiday has a few rules. So men...pay attention as we cover the most important rules for today.

Rule #1: The main meal must include a minimum of 4 ingredients and require at least one cooking utensil other than a fork.

Rule #2: Experienced female cooks may not assist in the meal. The men need to do it all by themselves…including selecting the recipe and shopping for all necessary ingredients.

Rule #3: Men must use the “clean as you go” rule.

Rule #4: No take out or prepared foods are allowed. And no Bar-B-Ques.

Rule #5: After dinner, men must clear the table and load the dishwasher. After which… the men should return to the table for stimulating after-dinner conversation.

Now, men…don’t get nervous… if you've never cooked before, make it simple. But if you like to cook, make something that might be a little challenging. And remember…you’re not trying to win this season’s MasterChef, you’re just giving the female chefs in your life a break for 1 measly day and celebrating an un-official national holiday, that quite frankly, should be proclaimed super official by Congress and the President as we speak.

Now get in the kitchen and cook up a storm!
