Do you like Barbeques?

I do.

I'm a guy.

So have you any special recipies, organisational plans, etc>

I'll start you off.


After many long months of cold and winter, we are finally coming up to Summer and BBQ season. Therefore it is important to refresh your memory on the etiquette of this sublime outdoor cooking 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.
      He thanks her and asks if she will bring another beer while
      he deals with the situation.

Important again:

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

More routine...

8) The woman prepares the plates, salad, bread, utensils, napkins,
      sauces and brings them to the table.
9) After eating, the woman clears the table and does the dishes.

And most important of all:

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