I tweeted someone for a recipe today, telling her it sounded “yummy.”

Oh my God.  Why didn’t I just tell her I was having my period and needed some comfort food?

Where the heck did “yummy” come from?  I can’t remember even uttering that word twice in the past ten years, and both times were to my grandson.  Or am I overreacting?  I mean, “yummy” isn’t really a sign of change, is it?  After all, I am presently growing a Rick Bayless-style goatee…

…so that proves I’m still a guy’s guy, doesn’t it?

Still, I’m worried.  I wouldn’t eat tofu with YOUR mouth, but is the proliferation of soy in processed foods raising my estrogen levels?  Are my post-workout protein bars turning me into a metrosexual?

As I think about it, I actually plucked some wild eyebrow hairs last week.  What’s next, setting up the DVR to series-record Brothers & Sisters?

Surely my fate isn’t sealed.  There must be an antidote.

Yeah, that’s it.  I think dinner tonight is a steak and three fingers of Makers Mark on the rocks.

    Bwahahaha!! Loved this! But why can’t men say “yummy?” Girls say “dude” all the time, :P But if you’re really that insecure (*snerk*), having the steak and Makers for breakfast instead of dinner will make you a *real* guy’s guy. =D

    … You DO realize soy has faux estrogens in it right? …. ;)
