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 and takes it to the man.
(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:

(5) THE MAN PLACES THE MEAT ON THE GRILL.

(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, sauce and brings them to the table.
(10) After eating, the woman clears the table and does the dishes.

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.

thank you Lois for sending this to me - way to funny not to share....

Pinochle and BBQ

I am so ready for summer!! And while we are at the tail end of our stay in Rufus - it's about getting ready for our summer. Learning how to play http://canasis.com/pinochle/ PINOCHLE which is a very strange fun game - although by the 5th game I should get a better handle on it. We are learning how to play because well? It seems to be the number 1 game RV folks like to play. Last night we had our first game with our most patient friends/boss. First they prepped us with a meal first - bean dish to die for yummmmm to the gore... And then for the next hour Jorge and I looked like lost puppies but having a blast playing. We are so looking forward to game #2...

And today I decided to do some ribs... Using my own recipe!

Ribs (lots of them)
1/2 cup Mayo
1/2 cup Mustard
1/2 cup Ketchup
1 jar of cocktail sauce
1/2 tsp basil
1/2 tsp Italian seasoning
garlic as much as you want...

I used the crock pot but you can use this on the grill (taste way better that way)... Here is a picture of the before cooked...
