Can We Talk

Gay Peoples Chronicle

Kitchen?

Now just a minute. I know what you are all thinking another gourmet cooking column with recipes containing weird ingredients and difficult cooking techniqués WRONG! 'Can we talk Kitchen" is going to be a comprehensive coluna about the glories of food. That means there will, of course, be recipes but they will be delicious, quickly prepared, and devoid of procedures that only experienced kitchen queens know about. There is food prepared by restaurant kitchens, too, and this column will from time to time review selected restaurants and report all the good and not so good results. And for you who haven't the faintest notion about how any self-respecting kitchen should be equipped, we will endeavor to give some lists of necessary itens. Then there are those of you who don't know the difference between sauteeing and frying, between boiling and blanching, between dicing and mincing (I's not talking about walking here, my dears).

This column is appearing in the first issue of THE GAY PEOPLE'S CHRONICLE which happens to occur in February the month when we think of Valentine's Day which leads us to think of love and how wonderful it is when we are in love.

Now I don't expect anyone to go overboard and buy pounds and pounds of marvelous Godiva (anyway, who wants lots of zits), but I thought you all wight enjoy a lovely little recipe for a lovely little chocolate mousse that whips us in no time at all and tastes absolutely devine. Serve it to your own true love or to yours truly all by yourself you'll LOVE it!

Some of the questions you might ask What do I do with a dildo? Why should semen be treated as if it were poison? What happens if he ejaculates in my mouth?

Here are examples of possible questions, and the answers I would give:

"Dear Michael, I am a transexual going through the last phases of my operation, and I need a place to stay. Can you help me?"

Somebody might ask, "My lover and I communicate on every level except sexually. What should I do?"

I might say, "Do as I do. Get some oils and feathers, rub his body with the oils and use the feathers in the intimate areas of his body and then watch the fireworks."

"Where can I go to meet women who might have the same interests that I do?"

I would say,, Let me give you the number of the Women's Wholistic Center. They can plug you into a lot of sources where you might find what you seek."

Some of the resources available to help me answer your questions are in the legal, medical, and psychological fields. So I'll try to answer everything and anything, and will consult regularly with these professionals.
