This is so true.
During the Barbecue Season 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:
-
The woman buys the food; and
-
The woman makes the salad, prepares the vegetables, makes
dessert; and -
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 - cold drink in hand. Here
comes the important part: -
THE MAN PLACES THE MEAT ON THE GRILL.
-
The woman goes inside to organise the plates and cutlery; and
-
The woman comes out to tell the man that the meat is burning.
He thanks her and asks if she will bring another cold drinkwhile he deals
with the situation.
-
THE MAN TAKES THE MEAT OFF THE GRILL AND HANDS IT TO THE WOMAN.
-
The woman prepares the plates, salad, bread, utensils, napkins,
sauces, brings them to the table; and -
After eating, the woman clears the table and does the dishes. And
most important of all: -
Everyone PRAISES the MAN and THANKS HIM for his cooking efforts;and
-
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 …
