~*~ RAMBLINGS ~*~



When a Man Cooks For a Woman

It's the only type of cooking a "real" man will do. When a man
volunteers to do the cooking, the following chain of events is
put into motion:

The woman goes to the store and buys the food.

The woman fixes the salad, vegetables, and dessert.

The woman prepares the meat for cooking, places it on a tray
along with the necessary cooking utensils, and takes it to the man,
who is lounging beside the grill, drinking a soda.

The man places the meat on the grill.

The woman goes inside to set the table and check the vegetables.

The woman comes out to tell the man that the meat is done.

The man takes the meat off the grill and puts it on a plate for the woman.

The woman prepares the plates and brings them to the table.

After eating, the woman clears the table and does the dishes.

The man asks the woman how she enjoyed "her night off from cooking?"
And, upon seeing her annoyed reaction, concludes that there's just no
pleasing some women.

~*~ DID YOU KNOW ? ~*~



To dice an onion: Peel and cut onion in half or quarters. Place the
onion cut side down, and slice lengthwise at intervals from 1/4 to
1/2 inch, depending on the size pieces needed. Slice to, but do not
slice through, the root end. Next hold the knife horizontally, and
slice at the same intervals from bottom to top. The third step is
to slice down vertically, and the onion will be diced.
