    Here you go ladies...make sure to make a copy of this and post in the kitchen!! :lol::lol:;)

    [FONT=&quot]New Standard Operating Procedures released today please learn
    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 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.
    (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 organise 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 another beer 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.[/FONT]

    I did not know there was any other way to grill.

    The end fails to mention the man sleeping outside with his utensils and beloved grill.

    At my place, the woman is entirely welcome to also grill the meat, in addition to all the other stuff. But I will fetch her a beer . . . no problem.

    In my family, you must be of Italian descent to make the salad.

    At my house, I have to take care of #3, or my meat will have no salt or cayenne! Actually an attempt will be made, but you can't tell it. Without salt, my blood pressure will be lower, but what's the fun! :grin:

    Otherwise, I'm good!
