DearSugar — Wed, 03 Dec 2008 10:00:00 -0800

Patty Brisben, of PureRomance.com fame, is back to offer up another tip so we can learn how to avoid a sex slump of our own and master how to bring the romance back after the holiday stress is behind you. Check out her advice below:

Creativity has long been linked with sexual appetite, so share a creative project with your main squeeze - make personalized ornaments, bake holiday cookies, cook a romantic meal with one another, or decorate the Christmas tree. Even a small project like decorating a tree comes with challenges (making sure the tree doesn’t lean, that all the lights are working, etc.) and believe it or not, taking on a task and working through all the quirks together can often spark a little romance. You’ll both benefit from feelings of teamwork when you’re able to take a look at the final results of something you took on and accomplished together!

Relationship Protocol: Who Puts Dinner on the Table?

DearSugar — Fri, 15 Aug 2008 07:00:00 -0700

Sexual stereotypes in relationships are still alive and kicking no matter how hard we try to fight them. Although it's getting more common for men to help with the housework, it's usually the women who end up picking up after their men. But when it comes to cooking, I think the playing field is a bit more even. My best friend, for instance, is a great cook so she's the one who's always in the kitchen, but another good friend of mine doesn't even know how to boil water! Luckily for her, her husband knows a thing or two about food, so he's the one who plays chef in their house. What about you? Who is the one that usually puts dinner on the table in your relationship?

Dear Poll: Whose Chef Would You Want to Hire?

DearSugar — Thu, 06 Sep 2007 09:00:00 -0700

Celebrities have a lot of perks and staffing a personal chef and trainer makes it a whole lot easier to stay in camera ready shape. Even though you still need to practice self control, being surrounded by healthy foods makes cheating on your diet and late night binges not as bad for you. So ladies, if you could share a personal chef with anyone in Hollywood, which star's svelte figure would you look to as evidence that her chef is doing a job well done?

Take a cup of "Top Chef," add a tablespoon of "The Real World" to it, along with a sprinkle of "So You Think You Can Dance"-- and you've got Mark here. Beyond a can of chili, I believe he's boiling up the concept for a new hot reality show.

Got Crabs?

She does, but don't make her touch them. Based on this woman's frantic scramble and screaming, you'd think she were the one that's about to get thrown into a pot of boiling water. Oh, the sick irony.

Martha Stewart On Crack

By "on crack," I'm referring to Martha's guest on this episode of The Martha Show-- actress/author/comedian Amy Sedaris. While Martha wants to get down to cake baking business, Amy's in the mood to cook up some trouble. Will she succeed in bringing Martha's temper to a bubbly boil?

Dear Poll: Who Would you Want to Cook With?

A well cooked meal is the fastest way to a man's heart. Your sense of taste is a very powerful sense, and with a little food education, you can learn what heightens arousal and what foods decrease sexual desire. Cooking certain foods can bring an erotic element into the kitchen, even if you are just tasting tomato sauce off the wooden spoon.

I am not one to be trusted in the kitchen, but with a little guidance, I would love to possess the skills to woo and impress behind the stove. If you could have one celebrity teach you the tricks of the trade in the kitchen, whom would you choose?

According to these teen girls, the wrong David won the most recent American Idol. Watch the horror show as they discover that David Cook rather than David Archuleta wins. (I feel your pain, you guys. I felt the same way when my corner store stopped carrying wasabi-flavored Funyuns.)
