Earlier this month, Cook County Sheriffs arrested 43 year old Dewayne Yarbrough for misdemeanor charge of possession of a dangerous animal. Seems five years ago he purchased an alligator and has been raising it in his suburban home ever since. He was asked why an alligator and replied, "because chicks dig it".
Dude...
Let's clear one thing up.
I don't know of any chick who would dig a guy just because he keeps an alligator in his house. How many chicks would dig a guy with one hand missing - knowing that his pet ate his hand? See, I think of all the things that could possibly impress a woman, reckless endangerment of limbs and appendages would be at the bottom of the list.
By the way, the alligator was fed 10 live mice per week. Yeah, I doubt the chicks are going to be digging the mice either. Is she really going to feel happy and safe and content being in the same house as rodents and reptiles?
She wants a thrill? Take her driving on the Dan Ryan with a 15 year-old behind the wheel on a learner's permit.
You know what she WILL dig? Tuna Tacos! Click on the link for the story! Click Right Here

To Grill or Not To Grill
Ok - we gotta talk. Too many guys are avoiding cooking if they can't use a grill. Spring is coming and grilling weather will be here soon, but come on! I agree that there is something soul-satisfying - even primal - about grilling meat with flame (making it the near exclusive domain of "Man's Job") but it feels kind of limiting to the palette of flavors that you can create.
"No, no no!" I hear guys defending their rightful place outside - tongs in one hand, beer in the other.
"Yeah! That's what I'm talking about." Okay, calm yourself. I get it. You may be thinking that it's cool if she does everything else and hands you a plate of raw meat. You're a hero.
Those dinners are fine and the two of you are working together and having fun. (You are offering to help with the dishes, right?)
Try this though. Ramp up your game. She would totally dig you for cooking the whole meal and you may not be able to step out to the grill necessarily. I'm going to help you get yourself dug. "Thanks, Doug!" You're welcome.
Thaw two chicken breasts and rub olive oil all over them. Put a handful of finely chopped pecans on a plate and add salt and pepper. "Whoa. How much?" Not much. A teaspoon or so of salt and half teaspoon of pepper. Roll the chicken around in that like a kid rolling around in a pile of leaves. Happy chicken!
Let that sit for a bit while you get the oven preheated to 350 degrees and get a skillet on the stove. Heat that skillet til it's hot! Add a little bit of oil to the pan and sear the chicken for a minute on each side. Then finish the chicken in the oven for twelve minutes. (It's still cooking, but kind of resting too.) Comes out crispy on the outside and tender on the inside.
Obviously the coating could not be done on the grill the same way, so I want you to have this in your arsenal. You can serve this with couscous (easy directions on the box - stir in a little feta and a few sun dried tomatoes that you've chopped up), a nice salad and a Kendal-Jackson Chardonnay.
Let me know how you like it!
