O
ver twenty years ago an American author came out with a national best-seller that was translated into fifty languages and remains a popular and much-quoted title still today. Men are From Mars, Women are From Venus, seemed to satisfy some age-old questions about the differences between men and women — how we think, perceive, feel and react. It was a guide to help us learn how to communicate with our spouses and other members of our families and the universe at large. Although I never read the book the title alone was appealing. And not just to me. It was an attention-getter world-wide. While some may not have gone so far as to claim men and women come from totally different planets, others actually went further remarking that it’s more like different galaxies. In any case, no one argues that the differences between them and us are huge and that we could all benefit from some tips and guidelines. I grew up in a mostly female household. My mom and dad and five daughters. We women were by far the majority. My father left the house early in the
12
mornings and kept his things very neat. Female paraphernalia was a common site in our home, although our stuff was pretty organized. In those days there was barely gym class offered in school — certainly no little league or other organized sports — especially for girls. You might step on a headband in our entrance hall but not a helmet. Lipsticks and eye shadows might be littered around the kitchen table but certainly no baseball cards or hockey pucks. I was blessed with daughters and although my girls did play volleyball and tennis and there was always a new team sweatshirt they wanted, our house, too, was dominated by girls. Dolls and baby carriages when the children were younger. Glitter, glue and all sorts of crafts supplies in the years that followed. Whenever I visited a household where sons ruled everything about the space had a different feel. Boys had clutter and their stuff was big. They had actual gear. If a girl left a pair of shoes by the staircase you may very well trip on them but it would not be the international flight a pair of boy’s humongous sneakers could take you on.

Continued from page 12 And the arguments. No doubt about it girls could fight but more often than not words were their weapons of choice, not fists. Oh, sisters could certainly do damage to each other with a few sharp and well-placed phrases or a sneaky little painful pinch but brothers literally fling and crash, pummel and pounce. And then there are the sound effects! I always had the urge to run for cover when I was in a male dominated household that started getting a little rowdy. Well, fast forward a little and we’ve finally upped the male numbers somewhat in our household. Now there are B“H in our midst husbands, brothers-in-law, sons-inlaw and even quite a few baby grandsons and nephews in our clan. Not every blanket is a lace-trimmed pink.
14
Not every accessory is a clip-on bow. And, of course, not every toy is a blue-eyed doll. Appetites are bigger. Voices are deeper and lots of other unexpected (for me) surprises have arisen. While I am getting used to some of the differences, others are still baffling. From infancy to adulthood women are clearly wired differently than men and I don’t just mean physically. As this June issue is dedicated to the men in our lives perhaps it is the right time to change our approaches as well as our expectations. There must be a good reason that best-seller from over two decades ago is still popular and relevant today. Who wants to give it a try?

L.E.
I’m flawless as all woman are. This is a question that should be addressed to the men. B.B. I like who I have become, so please don’t try to change me too much....... D.W. Oh boy....who moi?? Going to have to think about that. C.J. That would depend on whether I think it’s a flaw or everyone else thinks it’s a flaw and I think it’s just the way I am. Meaning, if it’s emotional, or creative, nobody would understand that and think it’s a flaw. I don’t think it is…. (did that make sense?). Y.S. I leave the dishes in the sink, hoping someone will come and do them during the night (or day). O.R.

MIND OVER MATTER:
Men! Can’t With Live ‘Em, Can’t Live Without ‘Em Jennifer Mann, LMSW
S
everal years ago, an attractive couple walked into my office. Chani and Yehuda (names and identifying information have been changed), were in their thirties and juggling a family, careers, friendships and a social life. I ask as I do all the couples that walk in through my door, “What brings you here?” Both expressed a general dissatisfaction within their marriage. They were working through accepting certain realities they never imagined when they took that walk down the aisle nearly fifteen years prior. Once upon a time Chani and Yehuda made time for each other if not every night, certainly most nights. With children, work and responsibilities came the fatigue and bickering that so many couples experience during this stage of life. When working with couples I like to get very specific about what is bothering each person and what they would like to see change. With time, I asked Chani and Yehuda for measurable, quantifiable areas needing improvement. I asked Chani and Yehuda to come up with three such areas. Chani began…. 1. I want to go out two Saturday nights a month (Very measurable!) 2. I want Yehuda to buy me flowers for Shabbos four times a month (Chani was good at this!). 3. I want Yehuda to make a consistent effort in showing me he loves me. (Not measurable, but we let that one go!) 4. I want Yehuda to be home by 7 PM two nights a week. 5. I want to be able to spend x amount of money per month without hearing a comment from Yehuda. And the list continued. We processed Chani’s list and then I turned to Yehuda. “Yehuda,” I began, “now it’s your turn. Can you think of 3 things you would like to see improved in your relationship with Chani?” He sat silently for two minutes but his body language spoke volumes. His eyes darted to the corners of the room, he shifted in his seat and rubbed his chin. “Um, I never really thought about it honestly. Let’s see. Hmmmm. Can I start with one?” “Yes,” I said. “When I get home from work, I’d like Chani to get off the phone with her friends and pay attention to me.” “Excuse me!” Chani yelled. “I work hard all day, then come home to the kids to start my sec-
38
ond job! Dinner, homework, clean up, bath time, story time! When am I supposed to have time for myself? Why can’t I talk on the phone? You know what, I can’t believe that is your request. How dare you?” Yehuda answered timidly, “You know what, forget it. It doesn’t even matter.” I reflected to the couple that Chani came up with at least ten items up for change while Yehuda could only think of one and he was immediately shot down. Chani’s reaction told me a deeper story. With a little digging Chani revealed that she felt as though she was running on empty. Busy with her job and her kids, she craved time with her husband and time alone. She didn’t mean to attack Yehuda, this was coming from a deeper place. We uncovered the unique “dance” in Chani and Yehuda’s marriage. Every marriage has a dance; a predictable pattern of behaviors and interactions that if not interrupted will continue indefinitely. Chani craved connection with her husband (as evidenced by her long list of needs and wants). Instead of reaching out in a healthy way, she attacked her husband (yelling and demanding time for herself). Yehuda craved connection with his wife. Instead of speaking up for himself and expressing his needs, he shut down which Chani interpreted as “you see, he doesn’t want me.” There was a self-fulfilling prophecy going on here from both ends. We uncovered the “dance” and the couple worked hard on created a newer, healthier dance. In my work with couples and my individual male clients over the years, I have learned a few things about the men in our lives. Though I can’t generalize, here are some very common male desires that often go unexpressed: Love me. Show me you care. Hug me. Even if I am the toughest, most macho male in the world, I still love a hug. Appreciate me. I am working hard because I love you. I don’t need the beautiful things you need. I work hard so I can give you a nice life. My self-worth is intrinsically tied to your view of me. Please inflate my ego every now and then. Compliment me in front of a friend. I like that. My brain works differently than yours. Please tell me exactly what you need. I will be receptive if I can. If you think of me like a babysitter, the guy who makes a living, or is good for an errand, I will behave that way. Please think of me like your equal. I am happy to report that Chani and Yehuda’s stay in my office lasted only a handful of months. Chani’s work involved allowing Yehuda the space to share and express himself while working through her discomfort and fear of his needs.

She was able to “hear” how much Yehuda wanted to be with her. Interestingly, upon trusting Chani’s love for him, Yehuda’s need for her to be off the phone at night diminished significantly. Yehuda became more comfortable expressing his needs. While all of Chani’s needs were not met, some were and that was enough. Is there a special man in your life? Some cute ideas to make him feel like a million bucks: Write “I love you” in lipstick on his bathroom mirror.

Epicurean Excursions With Rachel: MIKE’S BURGERS
By: Rachel Rosenberg
A
s Father’s Day approaches, I decided that instead of putting my man to work at the grill, we’d try the local “burger joint” on Central Avenue in Cedarhurst in anticipation of a Father’s Day dinner out. Mike’s Burgers is relatively new to the neighborhood and a really fun choice. It is fast food, but best eaten at the restaurant so your burger bun doesn’t get soggy on the way home. There are small booths running along the right wall of the restaurant while the left is all open grill. I love when you can actually watch your chef cook and plate. While burgers are their specialty, Mike’s has a lengthy menu including appetizers, salads and even steaks. There was a sign advertising additions to the menu, which included pulled brisket in a taco basket and fried chicken on skewers wrapped in “bacon”. Samples of these new items were on the glass counter-top so diners could view before they ordered. The samples were so tantalizing that I had to order both. After placing our order at the register at the front of the restaurant, we took a seat at one of the booths. No waiter service is needed as the food gets prepared right before you and placed on the counter across from your

table. My husband and I took turns getting up as the dishes were quickly served up. The pulled brisket was rich and tangy. It was served over a dollop of guacamole and under a scoop of coleslaw. The serving consisted of three taco baskets of brisket with two types of spicy mayonnaise decorating the plate. The skewers of chicken were breaded, fried and piping hot, and the imitation bacon was incredible. We couldn’t finish either of these heavy appetizers as more food kept arriving and we realized we had over ordered. That didn’t stop me from “tasting” the mini empanadas served with truffle oil and capers and the trio of sliders, consisting of one each of lamb, beef and chicken. Unfortunately, the empanadas were first served too cold. The great part about being directly across from our chef was that I just went right back to the counter and asked him to please heat them up. The chef profusely apologized and cooked a brand new batch of warm, tasty empanadas. The meat in the sliders was delicious, savory and topped with caramelized onions. Rumor has it Mike’s bakes their own burger buns. This might explain why the bun size was so generous. My one perfect bite of each slider left over a significant amount of wasted bun. It was hard to decide which of the vast selection of burgers to choose so we took the cashier’s advice and went with the NYC Lamb, “Bacon” and Egg. The burger itself was thick and juicy, but with the crispy imitation bacon and runny sunny side up egg, it was sinful. All of the burgers and sandwiches can be prepared with the addition of a variety of vegetables. We added avocado to our burger and it gave a great creamy texture that helped cut the richness of the burger. All the vegetable options looked very crisp and fresh. I think next time I visit Mike’s, I am going to order the garden vegetable burger with pickled jalapeño and grilled mushrooms. As my mother always says, “the diet starts tomorrow.” Rachel Rosenberg, a practicing attorney and name partner at Rosenberg and Steinmetz PC, is known amongst friends and family as an accomplished chef and daring foodie with a critical eye and discerning palate. She lives in Woodmere with her husband and three sons.

1 large green bell pepper, stemmed, seeded, and cut into ½-inch-wide strips 1 white or yellow onion, cut into ½-inch slices 12 to 16 fresh flour or corn tortillas, hot 1 recipe guacamole, for serving, if desired
DIRECTIONS 1. Combine soy sauce, lime juice, canola oil, brown sugar, cumin, black pepper, chili powder, and garlic in a medium bowl and whisk to combine. Transfer 1/2 cup of marinade to a large bowl and set aside. Place steaks in a gallon-sized zipper-lock bag and add remaining marinade. Seal bag, squeezing out as much air as possible. Massage bag until meat is fully coated in marinade. Lay flat in the refrigerator, turning every couple of hours for at least 3 hours and up to 10. 2. While steak marinates, toss peppers and onions in bowl with reserved 1/2 cup marinade. Refrigerate until ready to use. 3. When ready to cook, remove steaks from marinade, wipe off excess, and transfer to a large plate. Light one chimney full of charcoal. When all the charcoal is lit and covered with gray ash, pour out and arrange the coals on one side of the charcoal grate. Set cooking
grate in place, cover grill and allow to preheat for 5 minutes. Clean and oil the grilling grate. 4. Place a large cast iron skillet over cooler side of grill. Transfer steaks to hot side of grill. Cover and cook for 1 minute. Flip steaks, cover and cook for another minute. Continue cooking in this manner – flipping and covering – until steaks are well-charred and an instant-read thermometer inserted into their center registers 115 to 120°F for medium-rare or 125 to 130°F for medium. Transfer steaks to a large plate, tent with foil, and allow to rest for 10 to 15 minutes. 5. Meanwhile, transfer cast iron skillet to hot side of grill and allow to preheat for 2 minutes. Add pepper and onion mix and cook, stirring occasionally, until vegetables are softened and beginning to char in spots, about 10 minutes. When vegetables are cooked, transfer steaks to a cutting board and pour any accumulated juices from the plate into the skillet with the vegetables. Toss to coat. 6. Transfer vegetables to a warm serving platter. Thinly slice meat against the grain and transfer to platter with vegetables. Serve immediately with hot tortillas, guacamole and other condiments as desired.
