So true!
How true is this! sent from my sister in the UK 
After 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 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 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....

Re: So true!
Some people are never happy ,it takes a lot of skill and dedication to stand next to a BBQ with a stubbie in one hand and cooking tongs in another.

Re: So true!
My missus is an Aussie, When it's a bbq, I have to do the lot, She puts her feet up and drinks wine.
Consequently it's all paper/plastic plates and bought salad at my joint.
Dammit, now I'm jealous lol.
