BBQ Season Etiquette

[Star]

It is important to refresh your memory on the etiquette of this sublime outdoor cooking as it's the only type of cooking a real man will do, probably because there is an element of danger involved.

When a man volunteers to do the BBQ the following chain of events are put into motion:

Routine:

1) The woman buys the food.

2) The woman makes the salad, prepares the vegetables, and makes
dessert.

3) The woman prepares the meat for cooking, places it on a tray along
with the necessary cooking utensils and sauces, and takes it to the man who is lounging beside the grill - beer in hand.

Here comes the important part:

4) THE MAN PLACES THE MEAT ON THE GRILL.

More routine....

5) The woman goes inside to organise the plates and cutlery.

6) The woman comes out to tell the man that the meat is burning. He thanks her and asks if she will bring another beer while he deals with the situation.

Important again:

7) THE MAN TAKES THE MEAT OFF THE GRILL AND HANDS IT TO THE WOMAN.

More routine...

8) The woman prepares the plates, salad, bread, utensils, napkins, sauces and brings them to the table.

9) After eating, the woman clears the table and does the dishes.

And most important of all:

10) Everyone PRAISES the MAN and THANKS HIM for his cooking efforts.

11) The man asks the woman how she enjoyed "her night off." And, upon seeing her annoyed reaction, concludes that there's just no pleasing some women.

Will never happen to me. I hate BBQ

That is so true. I need to copy that and send it to my friends here. They would love it, especially the ladies!

It most certainly is that way isn't it? All the men that I see that BBQ ends up like this. can't say that about my hubby though, he doesn't even do the BBQ, I do!!!!!!

If I were to fit this stereotype, don't forget that I am a vegetarian, so any preoccupation with meat would be highly suspect ...

I didn't know you were a vegetarian. You can also put corn on the cob and other veggies on a grill.

[TKDLady]

Vegetarians aren't excluded. Sorry Vautrin.

But point 4) and 7) would be moot. If I were only to occupy myself with the non-important veggies and fruits (in this stereotype), I would be doing the unimportant stuff.

No reason to thank me for that, though .
