Are Junk Foodies Destined to be Single?
Bloggers Rita Mauceri and Elycia Rubin, who write a food blog for Yahoo, suggest that one of the reasons why some “guys” remain single is because they have poor social skills at the dining table…

Do you… eat like a caveman? Utensils are there for a reason — so you can eat like a gentleman. Shoveling food into your mouth is not something you should subject your date to. Same goes for talking while chewing. Not only is it unpleasant to watch at a time when your job is to be easy on the eyes, it’s a red flag that says you’re a little short on self-awareness — an important characteristic in a mate.

I disagree.

First, they assume that all women have superior dining skills.

Second, they don’t understand what men are doing.

Men have spent years and years growing up as boys being pestered by their mothers to keep their elbows off the table, to use their forks, wipe their mouths, don’t talk while chewing, etc. Do you think they want to be pestered for the rest of their lives by their wives as well?

A guy behaving just as he would normally behave, is a filter. If a woman can overlook his disgusting habits, and focus on the things that they love about him, then she passes the first test. Maybe she’s has potential.

If not, there are other fish in the sea.

Remember gals, a date is not a one-sided affair where you get to decide the outcome. He’s also trying to figure out if you’re worth the endless trips to the hair and nail salon his paychecks are going to be supporting.

Tuck an edible note into your kids’ lunches

Filed under: Culinary Kids

When I was in elementary school, I was always jealous of those kids who always had notes from their parents in their lunches. I had one friend in particular who’s dad packed her lunch each morning. Without fail, he would jot a quick little note on her paper napkin, telling her to enjoy her lunch or that he hoped she was having a good day.

For those parents who still include little notes in their kids’ lunches, there’s now a slightly more nifty way to go about it. Get a set of these FoodWriter food coloring pens and scrawl a note or a smiley face on your child’s turkey sandwich. I do believe that had my classmates had sandwiches doodled with designs, I would have been green with jealousy.
