A post! A man’s BBQ story.
Yes, i am posting again for the moment.
Work related stress mainly, I don’t enjoy blogging when I am stressed. Dad emailed this to me.
BBQ Protocol
We Aussies are about to enter the summer and BBQ season. Therefore it is important to refresh your memory on the protocol of this sublime outdoor cooking activity, 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.
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-beer in hand.
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 burning. He thanks her,and asks if she will bring another beer while he deals with the situation.
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 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….

This used to be true for me but over the years I trained my kids to help with the washing up.
It is true once again.
Guess what though. My oldest son is now a man - the pattern repeats
