The First Annual Men's Cookoff!

Last night our family embarked on unchartered territory. That's right, the women stood strong and insisted that the men cook and clean a whole family dinner. The only reason why a woman entered the kitchen was to top up her martini (or coke) and ask when the food was going to be ready. It felt quite unnatural (not to me really, I tend to avoid kitchens) but the men pulled it off and we dined until the wee hours (9 pm...).
Save the date for next year's cook-off, February 20th, 2012 at our place!
