LETS HAVE A COOK OUT !!

BBQ RULES
We are about to enter the BBQ season. Therefore it is important to refresh
your memory on the etiquette of this sublime outdoor cooking activity .
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.
(4) The woman remains outside the compulsory three meter exclusion zone
where the exuberance of testosterone and other manly bonding activities can
take place without the interference of the woman.

Here comes the important part:
(5) THE MAN PLACES THE MEAT ON THE GRILL.

More routine...
(6) The woman goes inside to organize the plates and cutlery.
(7) The woman comes out to tell the man that the meat is looking great.
He thanks her and asks if she will bring another beer while he flips the meat

Important again:
(8) THE MAN TAKES THE MEAT OFF THE GRILL AND
HANDS IT TO THE WOMAN.
More routine...
(9) The woman prepares the plates, salad, bread, utensils,
napkins, sauces, and brings them to the table.

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

And most important of all:
(11) Everyone PRAISES the MAN and THANKS HIM for his cooking efforts.

(12) 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!

SIA

LOL!

How it works for me....

I buy the food/drinks...

I prep the meat, sometimes I'm lucky enough to have my wife do some chopping of the veggies for me, but it's usually done by me.

I cook...she does the dishes....I hate doing the dishes...works out really well! Been too long since I've grilled out though...but the "season" as I call it, is HERE!

(Said in my best caveman voice) "Real man cook fire!! Woman cook magic box kitchen! Man smell like real man, smoke and sweat! Ugg!"

My ex used to get mad at me because I wouldn't let her grill anything. I'd tell her that the barbeque gods frowned upon women performing the sacred grilling ceremony.

I do all the Cooking in my house

However - it seems that the rules are the same here as they are over there, so it's all good

Best BBQ I've ever been too they cooked a Pig, a whole pig, it was awesome.
Yeah Hotdogs and Hamburgers are boring, spice it up.

Ever Fry at Catfish on the grill? Thats good eating. Or cooking Corn in the Husks on the grill? Potatos on the grill.
Vary it up people.
No one makes Ribs anymore it seems too.
Use Dr.Pepper and spices, or a nice Dry Rub
