We are about to enter the summer soon and BBQ season.
Therefore it is important to refresh your memory on the etiquette 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...
(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.

That is pretty funny! My husband lets me cook the meat on the BBQ too - I just can't catch a break :). Happy Summer!
Melissa, I like how you used the word, "let" when referencing Jeff's cooking habits. Too funny.
BTW, I thought that description of bbq-ing is just right. We don't want to let the food be ruined now do we??? hee-hee
That's pretty accurate in my view. Made me chuckle (a little guiltily).
We're having an "indoor picnic" at work on Wednesday lunchtime and I've made white chocolate mousse, which I'm unreasonably proud of, and hope to be lapping up the praise for my manly (once in a blue moon) culinary efforts!
