Barbecue Season Is Coming!
After 4 long months of cold and winter, we are finally coming up to summer and BBQ season. Therefore it is important to refresh your memory on the etiquette of this sublime outdoor cooking 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 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.
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....
Very Very good glad to see humor back in action,well done but the ladies are not going to be too happy mybe they will see they funny side... lets see this one is going to be interesting....
Oh but this is well written and OH SO TRUE ...LOLOL Except that there really are the few rare exceptions that really can BBQ without the woman telling them it's burning ...LOLOLOL BUT the rest ....it's all true every last word of it ...smiles Thanks for a smile, we all need one sometimes ..
Ever since my friend used the cajun barbecue sauce I have really loved it. My dad used to barbecue hawaiin style. You dig this pit and put the chicken in tin foil with potatoes and it cooks in the earth. A loua they call it. Not sure of spelling.
Now now Mitch!!! Do i see a little bit of self praise here for all the wonderful male cooks???? lol
Well might i add that the woman that you are sharing this barbecue with should be SMART enough to invite female friends who will insist that whilst you MITCH are burning the steaks could they please help in any way they can.
So in fact there will be a liiLE delegation going on IN THE BACKGROUND whilst you are trying to impress everyone with your culinary delights of the coals, meantime your lovely female barbecue partner is mingling with all the guests and occasionallly casting an eye over the work that is being done by her so eager to help friends. So..
1. the meat is being prepared by the helpful friends 2. the salads have been tossed by the keenest of salad impressers 3.the plates and cutlery have been given out by who......yes of course them!!
And why cos they all are competing with each other!! But most of truly want to help. True friends xx
When everyone has eaten you then get informed that it was a delightful evening and what a delightful host your female partner has been keeping everyone happy with banter and witt that could only come from the smartest female barbecue partner!! lol
And then later when everyone goes home you remind each other of what a great team you make and how you should make sure that you are rewarded for this team work well.......................cant tell you guys the rest cos ........well if so appreciative of each others merits and hard work.lol well then there just has to be a treat!!!! xxx
It was BBQ season awhile ago. But last night started the season off well or should I say well done. I slow cooked some pork ribs and threw on a couple of sweet corn ears.
