Who rules BBQ?

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

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

Routine ...

• The woman buys the food.
• The woman makes the salad, prepares the vegetables and makes dessert.
• 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 - with a coke in one hand.
• 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.

above are CQ's models :)

Here comes the important part ...

• THE MAN PLACES THE MEAT ON THE GRILL.

More routine ...

• The woman goes inside to organize the plates and cutlery.
• The woman comes out to tell the man that the meat is looking great. He thanks her and asks if she will bring him another can of coke while he flips the meat .

Important again ...

• THE MAN TAKES THE MEAT OFF THE GRILL AND HANDS IT TO THE WOMAN.

More routine ...

• The woman prepares the plates, salad, bread, utensils, napkins, sauces, and brings them to the table.
• 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.
• The man asks the woman how she enjoyed "her night off" from cooking in the kitchen!

And surely there will be mixed reactions or responses from different individuals ... but usually it is either - seeing her annoyed reaction or/and him trying to be the manly BBQ-er :p

There is just no pleasing some people!
