National Men Make Dinner Day

November 2nd, 2017

 

Celebrate this holiday every first Thursday in November. This holiday was created by Sandy Sharkey in 2001. This holiday was created for the men who do not cook on a regular basis. Today, men will cook for their loved ones, but there are a couple of rules to follow. First, the main meal must include more than four ingredients that require at least one cooking utensil, other than a fork. Second, men must go shopping for the ingredients. Clean up as you go, and aprons are options. For more information visit National Day Calendar’s website.
