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 is 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 GRI LL. 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 tha nks 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.... |

This is a hoot. I could make a similar set of rules based on my former husband on how to have no weeds in your lawn and how to grow roses and/or tomatoes!

My husband grilled salmon and zucchini last night and I just came out of the kitchen -- what a mess he left -- without even turning on the stove!!! Dorothy |

That's almost exactly how it's done at our house.  Except that I'm back and forth washing meat pans or bringing more Bar-b-que sauce or foil somewhere in between there. And hubby is usually taking a nap by the time I'm cleaning it all up.
