While clearly stated as being “against the rules” of National Men Make Dinner Day, I highly suggest tonight y’all order yourselves some take out from your favorite Clear Lake restaurant. Remember the other day when I wrote that blog post about shopping local? Well folks, today’s the day you can totally cash in on that. While it’s too early to break out the wine, maybe this whole “men cook” concept isn’t such a good idea for my house. I suggest you hold on tight to that one and enjoy the helpfulness at mealtime.Īs I’ve continued to write this piece, my anxiety as now grown into a full-on pit of dread deep within my stomach. You, my lucky friend? You’ve found yourself a unicorn. No, this day is for all of us who slave away day after day finding quality meals to make for their family and just need a break. I’ve begun to sweat already just thinking about it.Īnd maybe, just maybe, you’re one of the lucky ones where the man of your house already does all the cooking, or at least some of the cooking. Smoke billowing from whatever is burning on the stove. Splatters of food all over my cupboards and the floor.

I imagine piles of dishes lining the sink and countertops. Now, I don’t know about you, but I see red flags all over this guaranteed disaster. The man must find a recipe, do all the prep work, cook, set the table, and then clean up. Yet, as I began to dig deeper into this holiday, it seems there are a plethora of rules that go along with the event.

To sit back and relax and let the man of the house take over making supper. A chance for the women of the house to have a break. Did someone just get fed up one day and decide to make it a National Holiday in their favor? Sometimes I wonder where all of these ‘National Days’ come from.

Sit back relax meme
