BBQ Procedures

I normally don’t post unoriginal material, but I found the following somewhat unnerving. SOMEBODY has obviously been peering over my backyard fence and reports thusly:

It is important to refresh our memory on the etiquette of the sublime outdoor cooking ritual known and the BBQ 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.

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….

But remember, the man has the overall responsibilty to supervise all the womans activities as welll as his own. Smart women realize this and thats why they do all these things in his behalf. Not bothering him with the small stuff. HEE HEE

Well dayum – they’ve been peering into my backyard also! Except in item #3 they didn’t look closely enough to see the cigar in his ‘other’ hand! “don’t post unoriginal material” So you’re saying you are a true original piece of work, eh?? Hey – YOU said it – I’m just agreeing.

I’m betting that you don’t do it this way — even with the bravado — except for the beer part. Have a good summer, P.

This is pure mishandling of meat.

RYN: That is evil… Ya know…last year I worked at a Vet Clinic and a 28 pound boa was brought in from La. with all kinds of infections. There were FOUR people holding that bastard down and they STILL hollared for me. The moment I grabbed on (gingerly, might I add. At least I didn’t cry!), the vet let go to grab the needles. That dirty rat TURNED towards me and twisted loose from everyone

else. I was seeing my life flash before my eyes. *~shudders~* Why can’t people just be happy with dogs, cats, rabbits and livestock? I mean, come on! Who needs a snake for a pet? Not I! They need to spare the rest of us who doesn’t particularly care for them. BLAH! ~Brooke

Dang. My grammar and spelling are atrocious today. My apologies!

Thanks. Thanks a lot! Now my cover is blown here, too. Nooooo, I did not say anything about blowing and a job. LWM 143

RYN: Truer words have never been spoken!

Thank the lord I have a domestic god living in my home; I’m totally retarded in that department, so he does the cooking and laundry and I do the plumbing and electrical (needless to say, any children of ours are doomed…)
