Ok, well, I seem to have worried some of you with my posting of a recipe. So, I just want to assure you that it was a lapse. The rumors of a pedicure giveaway next week are patently false, I assure you!
Please be assured, I am a very manly sort of guy. I leave my socks out on the bedroom floor. I mow the lawn. I kill animals with my bare hands and then barbecue their remains to feed my family. I have never used a centerpiece when giving a lesson at church, nor have I ever given out refrigerator magnets when I home teach. The only time I really used visual aids was for a marriage fireside I gave and that was a Powerpoint, which is a computer/tech thing--very masculine, you know. I'm told I snore at night, I tend to get mad at refs who give my kids bad calls, and I am proud beyond all rational understanding whenever one of my kids has a good play or save in sports. So, fear not. My Y chromosome is firmly in charge of my life. I will not post any more recipes and will return to the traditionally alpha male subject matter of this blog: things like talking about the plays I direct, books about the Atonement, my choir classes, gardening and so on. Now I need to go. Those jerks at the cable company messed up my ESPN. :)

HA! Okay, so seriously, after reading your recipe yesterday, I actually thought, "WOW, he's posting recipes?! That just ain't right." Then I read the recipe and decided to try it, because WHO doesn't love a good chicken salad? Right? Am I right or am I right?!

Uh, what I meant to say was, "Snort." Oh yeah, my husband does the laundry (hew washes and hangs it, I get to fold it). He also brings me lunch at work and fixes dinner. I know, I am spoiled, but that is why I love him so much! You can always post a manly man recipe like smoked roadkill or some such nonsense. I think I am actually impressed that you would post a recipe that you like on your blog. That makes you unique! Who says guys can't like to cook!

LOL Braden! Great reply. Back in the day there was a book called "Real Men Eat Quiche", which addressed this whole issue. I'd personally way rather have a REAL (and secure) man any day, over a macho one.
If you swapped killing animals with buying them in their natural habitat (on yellow styrofoam trays, wrapped in plastic) - by your definition I'd be a guy, too.
