NATIONAL MEN COOK DINNER DAY

Hey dear,
How's your weekend going?


Every first Thursday in the month of November is National Make Dinner Day.

So yesterday was National Men Make Dinner and i was just curious about beliefs and perception about men cooking so decided to share my thoughts with you.

Before i share my thoughts, I want to know your take on men cooking?

Do you see it as a nice gesture, a taboo or a responsibility for men to cook also.

In some part of the world like Nigeria where i come from, certain culture/ tradition(s) belief it is not right for a man to cook or even step his feet in the kitchen. Such traditions belief it is totally inappropriate for a man to engage in any form of kitchen chores. In fact it is seen as a taboo because they are the head of the house.

Women are believed to be the caretakers of the home, who look after the children, prepare meals, shop for household groceries and clean the home.

I know you are already wondering my take on this...... Personally, i feel men are entitled to cook too, yes i do.

Before i talk of the ancient  during the days ancestral parents, let me highlight some few things about the world we live in today. We live in a world which has developed into a global gender equality based society. Almost every sector today, from economic, social, political and other industries in our society is based on gender equality.

Now let's go back in time to the ancient days. At the time of our ancestral parents, the man does everything to provide food and money for his family. Women basically do no work aside household chores. I can try to understand if in that era men are obliged not cook. In my own understanding, i can try to understand maybe because the man does a lot of work in providing for the family,doing hard jobs etc. making the woman responsible for the home but i still don't see it as a taboo when a man try to helps out nah.

Let's now come back in time to the moment we are living. A woman basically goes to work same as the Man, earns a source of income for the family, comes back same time as the man or even late than the man and still expects etc. her to do all household chores, cooking, help the children with assignments and others?

No way...... I don't support that. Coming together as a family, either as partners, siblings or friends i feel the Male gender should play a role in ensuring the home is kept well and provided for.

If the female gender is sick, tired, away or late try to help in any way you can and stop feeling entitled not to do certain things. Do you even mean you can’t prepare a good meal without any reason?

Like wow, how do you even cope eating out the whole year? Well, no judgement 

Men in the building what are you cooking for your bae, spouse, sibling or friend today??

Ladies how many of you have had a meal by a Male friend, partner, sibling or colleague???

Time to give us those reviews...
How was the meal??? Just checking for a friend😁

Well, i have it sure did taste good.
I hear some guys meal taste better than the ladies how true is this?

Do you believe men shouldn't cook? Kindly share your thoughts in the comment section.

Guess i made you smile.
Yeah, that's how we stepping into the weekend dearies.

Have a great weekend.
Love,

VALENTINE'S DAY

14th February is a day we celebrate valentine's day.This day signifies love and affection. It is marked by lovers and individuals expressing their affection with gifts and messages to their loved ones. There are several stories as to the origin of this day, but no one has pinpointed the origin of the holiday. Let's talk about the most popular valentine's day story which I believe a lot of us know and believe it to be the reason why valentine's day is celebrated. Valentine's day is named after St. Valentine a catholic priest in the 3rd century who lived in Rome.  At the time,many Romans were converting to Christians but, the Emperor Claudius II was a pagan and made laws restricting Christians on what they were allowed to do. Claudius prevented Roman soldiers from marrying because he believed that Roman soldiers should be completely devoted to Rome.  St Valentine married the soldiers in secret Christian ceremonies and that was the beginning of his reputation for his b...

WORLD DAY OF THE SICK

February 11 is World Day of the Sick, founded by Pope John Paul II on 13th May, 1992 as a way for believers to offer prayers for those suffering from illnesses and their caregivers. The Pope was diagnosed with Parkinson’s disease 1991 which was later confirmed in 2001. It is believed that his illness was the drive for him picking this day. On this day, people from around the world pray for the sick and their caretakers who work to relieve the pain of the sick.  Faith organisations mark this day by providing food, medicines, and spiritual guidance to the sick. Prayer is one of the greatest way we can show our love to people we care about. We pray to also stand in place for those who are weak, unable to pray for themselves or in hard/difficult situations. We have a deep communication with God, creating relationship and sharing our feeling and utmost thoughts through prayer. My prayers to the sick all around the world, those who spend time to care for them and help to ease...
