Lifetime Man Card

[BE Mike]

My youngest son-in-law kid each other about doing things that put our man cards in jeopardy. My latest foray into the danger zone involved making a batch of oatmeal cookies from scratch. He didn't complain about the cookies themselves after he scarfed down a couple, but threatened to revoke my man card for baking them. I contend that some of the best chefs in the world are men. In these modern times men are free to do a lot of things once considered reserved for the fairer of the species.

A real man does it all

My wife and I made a deal years ago, I cook she cleans. Works out well for us both and i am not worried about any demerits against my man card. I'm just the better cook.

 

[cbseniour]

By the way does your son-in-law fruit his beer? That would be a major deduction.

 

[SideArmed]

Mmmmm Oatmeal Cookies.

I am with you on that. I am a bit biased though since I went to culinary arts school.

 

[Westside]

the professional culinary field is dominated by men. Most of whom are either chain smoking alcoholics or gay.

 

[jedi]

OP depends...

If you dressed like this while making those cookies

then I think we will have to revoke your MAN CARD!

 

[Naptown]

I know a guy who gets facials (wow, that works on all sorts of levels...).

 

[CtWest]

Woman in the kitchen, me behind the grill...but cook away...no fault in being able to cook

 

[Hornett]

The worlds best chefs ARE men.
Facts are facts.
I have told my children this for years.

I make the bestest chocolate chip cookies ever! Well, I like 'em. I have also made cakes, scones, etc. from scratch. But I live alone and my fiance had a stove in her apartment for over three years...that wasn't even hooked up. So if I want it, I have to make it. I could give two s about a man card.

That's our deal. She cooks indoors, I cook outdoors. Whoever doesn't cook does the dishes.

Ditto. Real men can take care of just about anything. You can't be a mountain man if you sit on your butt on a couch and rely on someone else to take care of things. Mountain men carry full fledged man cards!

now if you were watching some real housewives show or soap on the kitchen tv while cooking/baking, then we might have to add a strike against your man card!

 

[BE Mike]

I added a poll. Vote if you feel the urge.

 

[PapaScout]

I change my own oil/brakes and I bake cookies. I can use a carving knife or a chainsaw. I can hunt the bacon, bring it home, and fry it up in a pan!

To make that determination, you must first answer this question

Were watching Ratchel Ray for the recepies or for Rachel herself???

putting your man card in jeopardy
-eating quiche
-wearing decorations on your ears
-make up of any kind
-texting until your fingers bleed
-squealing if you see a mouse or spider
-wearing a clip-on tie

securing your man card
-cutting your own firewood
-butchering your own livestock or game
-wearing a kilt in public
-building a fire without matches

A real man has to be able to feed himself doesn't he? Don't get me wrong, I have about three pizza places setup on speed dial on my phone, but a guy still has to be able to cook.

There are some things a guy can do to increase the manlyness in the way things get done. For example last night I grilled brauts on my new lodge logic grill pan and they were some of the best we've ever eaten. Cast Iron cooking makes all cooking manly.

a real man wouldn't care about what others thought of his interests... or about the loss of his hypothetical man card...
