There just is no way a man can make a woman happy even when he takes over the cooking for a change.
When a man volunteers to do the Barbecue, usually on a Saturday, the following chain of events is put into motion:Barbecue 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.
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.
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....

The belief and expectation that others are somehow responsible for our happiness is often the source of much pain and sadness.

I had someone in my life one time who always needed to play Santa Clause. When he did something for me.
"Now don't expect me to do this all the time okay"? Lol Mr Vier I do understand what you said okay?
But in the meantime, it does take all kinds to make a world................
So Art is my story true and do you believe You do all the work?.
Oh boy I am leaving myself open here for trouble
9 Words Women Use (and Men Need to Know)
\"Fine\"
This is the word women use to end an argument when they are right and you need to shut up.
\"Five Minutes\"
If she is getting dressed, this means a half an hour. Five minutes is only five minutes if you have just been given five more minutes to watch the game before helping around the house.
\"Nothing\"
This is the calm before the storm. This means something, and you should be on your toes. Arguments that begin with nothing usually end in fine.
\"Go Ahead\"
This is a dare, not permission. Don\'t Do It!
\"Loud Sigh\"
This is actually a word, but is a non-verbal statement often misunderstood by men. A loud sigh means she thinks you are an idiot and wonders why she is wasting her time standing here and arguing with you about nothing. (Refer back to # 3 for the meaning of nothing.)
\"That\'s Okay\"
This is one of the most dangerous statements a women can make to a man. That\'s okay means she wants to think long and hard before deciding how and when you will pay for your mistake.
\"Thanks\"
A woman is thanking you, do not question, or faint. Just say you\'re welcome. (I want to add in a clause here - This is true, unless she says \'Thanks a lot\' - that is PURE sarcasm and she is not thanking you at all. DO NOT say \'you\'re welcome\' - that will bring on a \'whatever\').
\"Whatever\"
Is a woman\'s way of saying F-- YOU!
\"Don\'t worry about it, I got it\"
Another dangerous statement, meaning this is something that a woman has told a man to do several times, but is now doing it herself. This will later result in a man asking \'What\'s wrong?\' For the woman\'s response refer to #3.
Have a great time........cooking your way.
Then remind her for the next many Years how lucky she was
Yep met you before lol
7) THE MAN TAKES THE MEAT OFF THE GRILL AND HANDS IT TO THE WOMAN.
This is an irresponsible accusation.
Remember the woman does almost all the work so of course she is holding the plate out to the man.
Than he puts the meat on the platter she is holding....................
Hope everyone had a great barbecue, until the next time..................
My Malaysian girlfriend is back again today! She came earlier today coz she brought some ingredients for me to cook for her, some vegetarian curry.
She must be really desperate coz MiMi is not known for her cooking skills!
Deep fried tofu, okra, aubergine and potato curry.
She’s talking to my son now about college life in Omaha, that’s why I can excused myself and comment on the blogs.
By the way, we communicate in English, Manglish ( Malaysian mangled English ) Cantonese and a smattering of Malay.
Hope you’re enjoying your Sunday, Jenny
MiMi the languages that I know are all from the Germanic languages, so from the same family......
For you to know is so much more difficult like Malaysian and English is not even close to each other.
Plus they are very important languages to know.
So say after me, Mimi is smarterder lol
Did you friend survive your cooking today? ...................
This one was this morning. She was over here yesterday from 10am to 9pm.
I also packed some food for her to bring home.
She’s like a little sister to me. Very smart gal. Very focused in what she wants for her future.
She met up with my daughter when she went back to Malaysia for a 2-week holiday last December. I sent through her some gifts for my daughter and at the same time my daughter also handed her some gifts for me!
My 22 year-old daughter had coffee with her and they chatted for a couple of hours. They hit it off right away coz they both have a lot of same interests.
My daughter is hoping to join me and her younger brother here in Omaha but unfortunately she couldn’t get an interview at the US embassy in Kuala Lumpur. It’s temporarily closed due to the pandemic
How wonderful to have your daughter and young brother to visit you in Omaha, what a feast that is going to be when this darn virus is over. Will that be their first time? You have not seen them for a long time right?
Is Art getting used to your cooking and for him strange food? ............. ................. Jenny
His daughter sent me a text 3 days ago...
My daughter plans to reside here with me and her brother ( my son ). She has a 10 year US visa and visited Hawaii last year September. However, she’d be needing a different type of visa ( a K-2 visa ) in order to be able to get a green card.
How about something in between?
How wonderful to have your daughter and son all to be living with you, so more people who like it hot.
Poor poor Art.........MiMi have mercy!, you only have one Artie you know...................
Do you believe some men pretend to be a bit stupid, just to get out of cooking? Jenny
When I told my parents my dad said, what? He didn't know which side of the bread to butter?!
My late husband was Director of Food Service in a large hospital.
