National Men Make Dinner Day....
 

One of the lesser known hoildays for sure...Karen left a note on the table this morning with the info, so I bit. Stopped on the way home and did some shopping and prepared a memorable dinner. Here's the menu:

Fresh Asparagus..steamed
Polenta with sundried tomatoes and fresh ricotta cheese
Pork cutlets...panned seared and then oven finished with red onions, a few more tomatoes and wine reduction sauce
Fresh baked french bread
2006 Vinedos de El Segue red spanish wine

Giffords Maine wild blueberry ice cream and coffee
..and Francis Albert on the juke box https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...mlins/cool.gif

Last night the boys and I had steaks, rice and veggies...but really yesterday was no different since I make dinner everyday anyway!.

Although it's nice to have someone make dinner and do laundry etc, the benefits that go along w/ this single dad world are worthy of mention..
How's sweet uninterupted peace sound?.
Or a guiltless catnap whenever you need one...yep anytime!.
Lots more too..
Did I mention the peace...ahhhh!.

I wish I knew about this yesterday https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...lins/frown.gif

Although if I asked Bill to cook dinner, he would have just asked me what flavor Pop Tart I wanted! https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...mlins/grin.gif

Ok, now since you’ve continued reading, we assume that you are a man who NEVER cooks. And that you fit the profile of the ‘men’ who have inspired this once-a-year occasion.
The ideal participant in ‘National Men Make Dinner Day’ is the man who:
helps with household chores
has a sense of humour and is a great all-around guy
loves his wife/girlfriend, kids and pets
…BUT NEVER LEARNED HOW TO COOK, and is somewhat afraid of the idea.

Wow! My husband definitely fits the profile!!! https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...mlins/haha.gif

Ken,
You should publish a training manual. You'd make a fortune! https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...ns/worship.gif https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...ns/worship.gif

Pete, you're a sgl dad too? I was awarded custody of my 2 kids & have been at it for 6 yrs now. Maybe we need to share some recipes & laundry secrets. https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...mlins/grin.gif
Hell, I'm waiting for 'National Pay Up Back Child Support Day'...I could buy a restored 69 Z28 with what I'm owed https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...ins/3gears.gif

edited for... Maryland steamed spiced scrimp recipe
-blend pickeling spice with cayanne pepper & Old Bay
seasoning
-wash shrimp & toss in seasonings & a few lemon slices
-add small amts of water, beer & vinegar to pan & boil
-add shrimp and cook quickly. remove when shrimp curl-about 3-4 min (best not to submerge shrimp-they're supposed to steam, not boil)
-cocktail sauce..ketchup, horseradish, lemon & worcestershire sauce
I make a pretty good crabcake too.
