Re: Barbecues
 

I hate to say this cos I'm a bloke, but........
This is not far from the truth.........:rolleyes:

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 organise 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....

:D:D:beer:

I think we must have bought the same BBQ, got it from Bunnings for $399 a few weeks ago too - the Garth 4 burner one? It was really hard work to put together though!

Re: Barbecues
 

you've already turned it right down to actually cook. Now turn it up high again, scrape off mess whilst its hot, let it cool, then give the whole grill and plate a light oiling for next time.

Always keep a bucket of water near it too for problems eg fires, some kid getting burnt.

They ALL are :scared:



We still use our BBQ a few times each week, and we've had a BBQ here for years. We must be one of the top 10%, or is it that we now live in QLD ? when we lived in Sydney we didn't use it very often ;)

Re: Barbecues
 

Thank you everyone for your advice. We did actually buy our bbq today and opted for a Weber in the end. Definitely on the pricey side but the guarantee and ease of cleaning swung it for me. Bought a rotisserie kit too so looking for a summer of outdoor cooking, for him, and all the preparation and tidying for me. What's new?!

Good call ! :D

Re: Barbecues
 

That doesn't sound like any extra work ... I like solutions like that!

I got my BBQ from the trading post for $80 with a rusty but in-date gas bottle which I used till empty, then swapped at Bunnings for a shiny new one : ) With a $10 Bunnings cover it even looks the part at the end of the verandah. We use it maybe a couple of times a month.

Good job you aren't in South Australia .........

20dec05
FIRE authorities have warned South Australians to prepare for extremely hazardous weather conditions today, with temperatures expected to top 40 degrees.

Total fire bans have been declared for seven regions across the state and the Country Fire Service (CFS) has reminded residents to implement their bushfire action plan.

CFS acting deputy chief officer Andrew Lawson said that in districts where a total fire ban has been imposed, barbecues that burn solid fuels also must not be lit. Courier Mail

It is that season again.

Re: Barbecues
 

This is why we have both a Weber and a Gas BBQ.... :)
