As spring weather improves and barbeque units are rolled out of garages all over North America, this is a good time to review these few simple BBQ Rules:
BBQ RULES 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 - drink 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 drink 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.

Yeah that about sums up the bar-b-ques at my house.
My dad is terrible when it comes to grilling, and it isn't because he doesn't know how, but more like it takes 4 or 5 hours for the meat to even make it to the grill. He grills in steps....wire brush the racks, have a drink, get the charcoal out, have a drink, put the charcoal in the grill, have a drink, talk to the neighbor guys who were also grilling, have a drink, go get the starter fluid for the charcoal, have a drink, light the charcoal, have a drink, charcoal goes out, have a drink.........well you get the idea. We all know that if we plan to eat by 6, we better show up by noon so he has enough prep time.
