• INGREDIENTS :
• chicken quarters (or legs, thighs)
• a bottle of Lawry’s Baja Chipotle Marinade
• a boiling pot with water.

When you’re grilling chicken, except the chicken breasts, you MUST parboil the chicken first. This will avoid burnt skin and raw meat. By parboiling it, the chicken is already half-way cooked inside so by the time you grill ‘em, they’re finishing to cook with the skin. Know what I mean? Parboiling means pre-boiling the chicken in water. More after the fold..

Ok so you parboil the chicken. Stick a fork into the meat and when there’s clear liquid coming out of it, then it’s done. Drain the water off. Transfer the chicken into  container/tupperware, over the chipotle marinade, make sure every pieces are coated with the marinade. Cover and store in the fridge, overnight or about 2-3 hours before grilling time.

Grill each side about 10-12 minutes. Depends how powerful your grill is. Set it to medium heat. 8-10 minutes on each side is an ideal grilling time as well. I think you know what a cooked chicken looks like right?  Maybe before you start preparing your grilled chicken, ask your wife/gf nicely to make potato salad to go nicely with it. If you want to do the whole thing and need a recipe, e-mail me (dexie.wharton@b5media.com) . 

Enjoy. If you can’t grill, you can always bake ‘em in the oven. Either way, it’s delicious. She and the whole family will enjoy it. Have a great weekend!

1. “It’s Ok for Us To Go Slow”. Definitely. Ever heard of a thing called foreplay?

2. “This heart-shaped freckle on your right inner thigh is so beautiful“. Compliments. If she has no freckles, well, I’m sure you”ll find a cute feature to focus on.

3. “You“. I’m guessing coz some Women love to be the center of attention?

4. “You kiss great, _____” . Coz Women love affirmation that they’re doing good, perhaps?

5. “I’m going to take these off“. Yes, stop asking whether you should do something, be errr, dominant and just do it.

The rest after the fold……..

6. “You make me think dirty thoughts“. This could be a little tricky though. Some Women might not like hearing dirty things while in the middle of sex. So I guess it depends how well you know your lady.

7. “I want to make you feel good“. But of course. Women always comes first. *ahem*

8. “Next time, I’m going to take you on the hobbyhorse“. It’s called the “afterplay”. Just as relevant as the foreplay.

9. “You amaze me“. Again, with the compliments.

10. “Let me get back to you on that“. Ala Sean Connery on Entrapment. Rule #2, Never trust a naked woman. Women knows when they’re being BS’d. So don’t make commitments about going camping or going to Disney World with the family just because she’s naked in front of you. She knows better so be careful and honest. She’ll appreciate it more.

Well, there you go. I’m sure you guys have known these all along. If not, I hope the list helps .

1. Don’t Be A Total Asshole. There’s a difference between being an asshole yet still capable of truly caring and loving someone and being an asshole who’s also a big jerk who don’t give a damn whatsoever.

2. Don’t Be A Lying, Cheating Son Of A Gun.

3. Buy Her Flowers. Any Day. No Occasions Necessary. They don’t have to be expensive all the time. A single rose would melt any Woman’s heart.

4. Make Her Laugh Her Ass Off.

5. Take The Trash Out.

6. Help Out With The Laundry. You don’t Need To Put Her Clothes Away, But Feel Free To Put Yours Away.

7. Cook Breakfast or Dinner For The Whole Family Once In A While.

8. Give Her The Remote Control, Sometimes.

9. Genuinely Enjoy Spending Time With The Children. If you don’t have kids yet, spend time with nephews and nieces or friend’s children.

10. Do A LOT of Kissing, Hugging and Cuddling. Kiss Her Before You Leave For Work. Tell Her “I Love You” before heading out the door. Call her from work on your break time. Kiss her when you get home. Grab her while she’s cooking dinner or doing dishes or when you pass her, then hug and kiss her. Kiss and tell her “I Love You” before bedtime. Cuddle for a bit before getting comfortable on your side of the bed. Cuddle on a Saturday Morning.

11. When you pick up a 6/12-pack on a Friday night, pick up a bottle of wine or the ingredients for a Margarita mix for her. Make the Margarita once the kids are in bed and hand her the glass and refill it without her asking.

12. Pick up little things in the store that you know she loves. Like fashion magazines, or a chocolate bar, favorite chips, anything.

13. When she’s taking a cat nap on the couch, tell the kids to be quiet. If you don’t have kids, well then YOU be quiet.. LOL

14. Take her to a major shopping spree. Trust me, Women love to shop.

15. Sex, of course. Be ready when she is. Give her foreplay. Satisfy her. All that good stuff.

There you go. Most women ARE happy. And they are not that hard to please. So many things these days are trying to turn us into desperate insecure bitches trying to snag a man and when we do we supposedly turn into witches. That’s the unrealistic picture in their head, but in reality, Women who are happy, confident, sure a little bit insecure(who isn’t) won’t have a problem picking up socks, cooking dinner, cleaning the house, taking care of the children as long as they are appreciated and treated with respect, love and care.

Now if you’re talking about the women in Brett’ Michaels’ Rock of Love 2 show, well they’re a different set of women species. Those you need to stay away from. If you’re like Brett Michaels or Scott Baio who are in their 40’s yet still can not decide whether to be a MAN or a pig, then you’re on your own buddy.

1. Ask her to dance.

*Eh, sure it would be nice. Like at a wedding or under the moonlight. My husband has done the latter.

2. On windy days, brush wayward strands of hair from her eyes and mouth.

*On windy days, you should walk as fast as you can to get inside so you’re hair wouldn’t be in your eyes and mouth.

3. When she’s coming down the street, across the room, or up the stairs to meet you, walk towards her as soon as you see her.

*Again, this is nice in the beginning of a relationship.

10. Wash her from head to toe in the shower.

*Ask him to do it for you. Men won’t know what you want if you don’t tell them. They’re not psychics.

19. When she’s feeling insecure, stare into her eyes and tell her there is no-one in the world who could be as right for you as she is.

*We’re all insecure. If he has to do this over and over again, then it’s time to see Dr. Phil or Oprah.

20. Call her just before you get on the plane.

*This is mandatory, or a habit when it come to being in a relationship/marriage. This should be ingrained on any Men’s brain.

21. Pick her clothes up off the floor.

*He can’t even pick up his own socks, what makes you think he’ll pick up your clothes?

*Geez, why is there so many things on this list about her being sad? Get some prozac already.

23. Take her to see your favourite sport live. Pay more attention to her than to the game.

*LOL, you’re freaking kidding me? If you expect your Man to “Pay more attention to you” while watching sports, you’re shit out of luck. Give the guy a break.

24. Touch her arm when you leave the table to go to the bathroom. Touch her again when you come back.

*Excuse me while I bang my head. Touch me why? Well let’s hope he washed his hands.

25. Shave just before you see her. She’ll notice.

26. Hug her when she gets jealous. Hug her hard.

*How about this, how about not make her jealous period. But good luck guys, heh.

*I hate to break it to any ladies waiting for this to happen but MEN LIKE BREASTS. Period. Your breasts, celebrity breasts, any breasts on the magazines, models, MEN LOVE BREASTS. It’s not necessary for them to worship your breasts. They already do. For crying out loud.

*I’ll give MH that too.

29. Hand her two towels when she gets out of the shower. (The second one is for her hair.)

*Please tell me you’re kidding. Needy enough?

30. Ask her specific questions about her work.

*Not too much. If she wants to talk about her work, she will. Trust me.

31. Keep her favourite cereal on hand.

*cook her breakfast instead. A more romantic gesture.

32. In the middle of a conversation, tell her you love her.

*Hmmm, Aren’t Men supposed to listen?

33. Send her very expensive flowers when you screw up.

*Not to expensive. And not only when you screw up. It should be anytime.

*Yeah coz you know, she might break her nails building a fire for herself *sarcastic*. Men will do it anyway. Stop taking credit for everything.

35. Moan her name when she goes down on you.

*LOL, good luck with that. Just because you’re loud, don’t expect your Man to be loud as well.

36. Read her a story when it’s her turn to drive during a long road trip.

*Where in the planet do these women live?

37. Offer to fix something at her place that you realize is broken.

*Sure why not, make sure you actually know what you’re doing. If you’re not a handy man, point her to the Yellow book.

38. Notice when she’s wearing something new.

*I give MH that too.

39. Make love to her standing up, against a wall.

*I give MH that too. Let’s hope there’s an empty wall in your house. No picture frames and all that house stuff.

40. Kiss her hand in front of your most die-hard bachelor buddies.

*Or just show off her ring, I don’t know. Whatever makes her feel good about herself in front of your buddies, geez

41. If she’s too stressed to want sex…
a. Run a bath for her.
b. Give her a full-body massage.
c. Ask if she wants to wrestle.

If she’s too stressed to have sex, chances are she wouldn’t feel like wrestling, but the bath and massage sounds good.

These are all sooo romantic, in an ideal world. Yes, it would be nice but let’s not kid ourselves here. Men need a break once in a while. They’re doing everything they could to make their partner’s happy. Some things are just natural, it shouldn’t be taken against them. They’re not Superman after all. And even Superman needs help sometimes….
