National Men Make Dinner Day

Today is National Men Make Dinner Day! This holiday is dedicated to all the wonderful men in the world who never learned how to cook. It serves as their opportunity to step up to the plate, try their hand in the kitchen, and give the women who always cook dinner a day off.
There are several official rules for National Men Make Dinner Day. These include no grilling, no take-out, and no dishes left in the sink. The man must use a recipe that involves at least four ingredients and a cooking utensil other than a fork. Check out the full list of rules and other interesting information about this humorous national holiday!
Today is also National Sandwich Day

November is National Pomegranate Month & Peanut Butter Lover's Month & Family Literacy Month
