Inhaltsangabe

Guy's Guide to Domestic Engineering offers a light-hearted look at guys who shed their career attire (voluntarily or not), and strap on aprons and tool belts to cook, clean, launder, iron, and maintain the household physique in handy-manly fashion, while their wife or partner continues to bring home the bacon, which they now cook.

Guys will find their inner-foodie, become accomplished zesters and sauciers and understand the difference between Italian parsley and cilantro without sniffing or tasting. Years later, when asked, "How was your Thanksgiving?" they'll be able to reply, "It was the best turkey I ever prepared!"

Their reward, in addition to becoming a kept man, having access to a live-in ATM, and earning a B.S. in Domestic Engineering, will be gaining the satisfaction of doing the right thing, as real men do. Domestic Engineer Guys also possess a secret; the path to the bedroom travels through the kitchen.

Successful completion of this undergraduate degree will elevate guys to Domestic God status in the eyes of their partner, and to the vaulted new 21st Century male label, Uber Guy.

Über diesen Titel

Über die Autorin bzw. den Autor

Keith Frohreich chucked his twenty-five-year chain restaurant marketing and advertising career to become Domestic Engineer Guy, and to write. This book chronicles his transition - the good, bad, ugly, and oops. A newspaper columnist for fifteen years, Keith lives in Anaheim Hills with PJ, his still-employed, retirement-fund-generating cash cow.
