This is why men keep their distance from the kitchen.” wrote the Chinese philosopher Mencius For millennia, men have cooked up excuses not to do the cooking. But two dozen centuries after Mencius, most of these excuses have grown pretty old. Now, a lot of us not only carve the occasional bird but stuff and truss it as well.
