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.

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.

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.

Most important of all:

(10) Everyone praises and thanks him for his cooking efforts. He then announces that we should do it again soon!

(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....

12 The man services the dishwasher so she'll wanna do it again?

There is a natural order of things, and things are as they are for a reason.

I've never met a woman who couldn't ruin a fine piece of meat, given an opportunity to work a pit or a grill.

I think there is a parallel set of rules for home remodeling projects, where the GUY gets to use the POWER TOOLS. . .

The best humor always has a kernel of truth in it!

I am man enough to admit though that my wife has long since surpassed me in the grilling department. He cooked up a mess of ribs this evening that was simply heavenly. I am spoiled!

I'm a better griller/smoker than my wife. She will fight you for a bite of my Teriyaki Injected Hickory Smoked chicken, Boston Butt Pulled Pork, and Pork Ribs with my Jack Daniels BBQ sauce, and Chipotle Beef Brisket. Next time I feed her some good BBQ I'll take a picture of her with the BBQ sauce on her face like a 6 year old, but isn't that a sign of good BBQ?

Looks like I've been missing out on the proper way to grill for some time now.

My wife is the baker in the family, breads, cakes, if it goes in the oven she can make it.
But....
There was a time when she could burn water, her mom still can.
