Kor37 9 Posted June 10, 2008 BBQ RULES We are about to enter the summer and BBQ season. Therefore it is important to refresh your memory on the etiquette of this sublime outdoor cooking activity, 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 organize 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. (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. I hate to admit it, but this is probably true in a lot of cases. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

RikerChick 5 Posted June 10, 2008 I'm happy to say I can't relate. My sympathy goes to the women who can. If Robert's BBQing it's my time to relax with a cold beer. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Bethlehem 7 Posted June 10, 2008 How true, it should be pointed out that drinking beer and cooking at the same time is a much multi tasking as we men can do. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ddillard 2 Posted June 10, 2008 I'm happy to say I can't relate. My sympathy goes to the women who can. If Robert's BBQing it's my time to relax with a cold beer. That is the way that it should be, and the way it is for the most part in my family. When camping my sister in law and niece handle breakfast (with the electric skillet) and lunch, and me my father and brother take care of cooking dinner (over the open campfire) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
