THE CODE After years of trying, I have finally deciphered the code. The way back into a woman’s heart is to get her out of the kitchen. Yes, dazzle her with your cooking. It’s easy. Just don your best smile and cook with love, while making certain to verbalize that sentiment. You’ll notice I’ve named each dish with something reminiscent of love. Typically, a woman cooks because somewhere back when the gender roles were defined, it was ingrained as something she must do. Interestingly, men cook because: a.) we are curious types. I dare one of you to tell me you did not disassemble at least one toy as a child, and b.) we hate the doghouse.
