After long months of winter we are finally in 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 kind of cooking a REAL MAN will do, probably because there’s an element of danger involved.

When a man VOLUNTEERS to do the BBQ, the following chain of events are put into motion:

-   Boring Routine

1, The woman buys the food
2, The woman makes the salad, prepares the vegetables and makes the dessert.
3, The woman prepares the meat for cooking, places it on a tray along with the cooking utensils and sauces and takes it to the man who is lounging besides the grill – beer in hand.
4. The man places the meat on the grill

-   More Routine

5, The woman goes inside to organise the plates and cutlery.
6, The woman comes out to tell the man that the meat is burning, he thanks her and asks is 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 boring 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 the man and thanks him for his cooking efforts.
11, The man asks the woman if she enjoyed ‘HER NIGHT OFF’. On seeing her annoyed reaction, concludes that there’s just no pleasing some women!!
