BBQ Rules

Gary was the one responsible for this blog.  He has read some of my derogatory man remarks.  It is safe for him to read them now that we have been married 30 years and the fact that he says it is cheaper to keep me rather than get rid of me.  I don't advise you young gals to let your guys read all the stuff that goes on in blogs.  They are still young and might not overlook what you say or read!  In my case tho, he is now giving me ideas for post.  What a husband! 

Let me preface the next paragraph by saying we did not write this - it came across as a forward on email.  I can't give credit since I don't have a source, but it is OH SO TRUE and I do need to share it with you.  I have never posted a forwarded email and probably never will again, but this one I just couldn't pass up.  Enjoy!

BBQ RULES

We are about to enter the BBQ season. Therefore it is important to refresh your memory on the etiquette of this sublime outdoor cooking activity.

When a man volunteers to BBQ the following chain of events is put into motion:

(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..

(4) The woman remains outside the compulsory three meter exclusion zone where the exuberance of testosterone and other manly bonding activities can take place without the interference of the woman.

Here comes the important part:

(5) THE MAN PLACES THE MEAT ON THE GRILL.

More routine...

(6) The woman goes inside to organize the plates and cutlery.

(7) The woman comes out to tell the man that the meat is looking great. He thanks her and asks if she will bring him something to drink while he flips the meat

Important again:

(8) THE MAN TAKES THE MEAT OFF THE GRILL AND HANDS IT TO THE WOMAN.

More routine...

(9) The woman prepares the plates, salad, bread, utensils, napkins, sauces, and brings them to the table.

(10) After eating, the woman clears the table and does the dishes..

And most important of all:

(11) Everyone PRAISES the MAN and THANKS HIM for his cooking efforts.

(12) 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!

Have a Blessed day and tell your man how much you appreciate him.
