I think this is the best thing I've ever read as far as cooking and BBQ'ing goes and I'm sure all you ladies will agree!! I just got this in an email and had to share because I'm sure I'm not the only one with this "BBQ Rules"
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 - drink 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:
Here comes the important part:
(5) THE MAN PLACES THE MEAT ON THE GRILL.
In my honey's defense.. He does marinate his own stuff but I have to still get it ready most of the time.. Especially if I'm making a home made marinade.
More routine...
(6) The woman goes inside to organize 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 drink 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, sauce and brings them to the table.
(10) After eating, the woman clears the table and does the dishes.
And most important of all:
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.

Ah hahahaha I mean really? This is totally the usual happenings at our house. Like our dinner we had about a week ago, I did everything! He sits around in the backyard pouring cocktails, forgets to make me one and then I make everything and give him the shrimp and meat to grill.
But of course mine ends differently as my fiance does say his, "Thank You Honey!" at the end which semi makes it worth wild. But I could still go for some dish washing in there.. and maybe another margarita or five.
But he does have pretty good surprises when he does make the WHOLE dinner himself :)
