Cut out stem portion of tomatoes. Slice tomatoes in half horizontally. Turn juicy side up in baking pan. Mix grated parmesan cheese, olive oil, oregano, and pepper into a fairly thick paste. (Hint: Make more than you think you'll need.) Spread over tomato halves - use it ALL up. Put in oven (nominally 400 degrees for 15 minutes, but the meatloaf was in at 350, so I left the tomatoes in for roughly 20 minutes.)
(Damn it! My estrogen alarm just went off! I have to leave now and tear down a lawnmower engine before I start giving you pointers on place settings.........)  now dat's funny! I saw your tomato recipe earlier and got hunger pangs. I'm so stealing that one. I'm like the character Cecelia Foote in "The Help" when it comes to cooking. Thanks for the tip!

Wait - there's something called a fish knife? Oh, yeah. A fish knife. And where's NG? Out in the garage, getting grit and WD40 under his nails and making those 'guy-grunt' sounds while he tears a perfectly good mower apart. I suppose you won't have time to post your opposum compote recipe either, then, NG?

What did I have for dinner? A burger drenched in A-1 sauce.

(Damn it! My estrogen alarm just went off! I have to leave now and tear down a lawnmower engine before I start giving you pointers on place settings.........) I wouldn't worry about it. All the famous chefs in the world are men. So cooking in and of itself isn't a feminine activity -- but cooking without getting paid big bucks for it might be!

The suggestion that cooking is a feminine pursuit and not appropriate for men makes me blanch.

Actually, it was less the idea of discussing cooking, than it was by the four-or-five-females-plus-me format that had me unnerved, like I woke up sitting on the couch, on "The View"! ![[Linked Image from blogcdn.com]](http://www.blogcdn.com/www.aoltv.com/media/2009/05/the-view.jpg)
