Hey, I'm another guy, and I thought the article was hilarious and truthful at the same time, no easy feat. The best writing can take us out of ourselves and into understanding people who are different. More men should have reading this made mandatory! (Discussion in the locker room is optional, however.)

We'll not discriminate great from small.

No, we'll serve anyone - meaning anyone -

And to anyone at all!

Note this is the first in an occasional series of essays on food and the body, by a rotating slate of authors. I assure you, we are going to break quite a bit of new ground.

Wonderful article! It almost makes me regret how quickly I'm approaching menopause. (almost)

The evocative prose also simplifies one aspect of my monthly life. Now I can simply tell my husband not to venture into the kitchen for a while, as my hormones demand that I commit unnatural acts with pasta...

Wonderful, fellow Canuck! Extremely well written, funny and pointed as well.

Practice. Do it over. Get it right.

Mostly, I want people to be as happy eating my food as I am cooking it.

Fantastic article!!!

Cheers and celebration for the Menstruation Maven (I will not call you that on a regular basis, I promise)!

I laughed, I cried. Your article was truly a part of me!

Preach it, sistafriend!

This may sound like brown-nosing, but . . . I think Fat Guy deserves kudos for running that piece. This is the sort of content that sets eGullet apart from the rest. It takes a brain to conceive of stuff like that, and guts to run it. Thanks, FG, you are one sensitive New Age Guy. :wink:

Fun article, Maggie.
