The Summer BBQ
 

I ran across this story recently and thought I would share it.


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 suaces, 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.
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 PRAISED 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. . . .

A man will work from sun to sun and a womans work is never done ;) I do quite a bit of out door cooking and I prepare the meat and fire and cook with out anyone telling how to cook it for I am man (ISH) and when it is done and the meal is finished we all thank Mrs. Isaac for her helping hand because this place would be a wreck with out her touch :clap: :clap: :clap:

Very good Isaac, well done, and what was the brand of butter you use.
:laugh: :laugh: :laugh:

O.k. here's the part that I heard :)

Great post Huldah! Many of us have been there!;)

Finally, somebody told the truth!!!

OK Mrs heat and eat. I just can not see you preparing meat for the grille :laugh: now you may be good a fetching up a beer :D

There are no beer drinkers in this house! And yes I can prepare the meat and cook it. Would you like to make it a challenge?

This is exactly how it happens at my house, minus the beer. LOL
