Ain't That A Man?

Esquire.com came out this week with a list of 75 skills every man should master. They included a few food-related items, such as:

No. 17: Make one drink, in large batches, very well.

No. 32: Describe a glass of wine in one sentence without using the terms "nutty," "fruity," "oaky," "finish" or "kick."

No. 41: Speak to a waiter so he will hear.

No. 50: Fry an egg sunny side up. Cook until the white appears solid ... and no longer.

No. 61: Cook bacon in the oven.

No. 75: Cook meat somewhere other than the grill.

It's a good list. I say that because I have most of these covered. But I think they missed a big one:

No. 76: Know when and how to apply the 5-second rule.

For the full list, go to Esquire.com.
