When I BBQ it involves events 2 days in advance and not a whole lot of sleep the night before. My wife sleeps in and may end up cutting up veggies and making some ranch dip.

Not at my place. I shop for and buy the meats, season them, transport out and back in. She will cook some sides but I do those sometimes too.

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 enjoying a bottle of beer.
(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.
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 bottle of beer 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, sauces, 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.


I hope that was an email you were forwarded. That might have been the dumbest thing I've ever read on the Food Board. Holy crap.

How True Is This At Your House?

Is this some sort of weird house from the 1950s where people have to conform to stupid retrograde gender stereotypes?

Well, the post was for its humor value, particularly the last line. I think it's a pretty old joke from a woman's magazine.

Not at all. My husband buys, prepares, cooks and cleans up on his own.

sooo not how it goes in my house. husband has to buy the meat bc I don't seem to pick out the right thing. Husband's meat marinading process and side dish prep turns the kitchen into a huge mess bc it becomes a cooking show with every mixing bowl in the house getting used as well as like 10 utensils. And it's only a 2 course meal!! I get to make salad dressing every once in awhile, but mostly I only come into the kitchen to clean up the counter mess or wash some more mixing bowls. But I will tell you what, he cooks some good stuff

ps-if my husband is reading this right now, I just want you to know you are the best cook in the world.

All meat selection, preparation, seasoning, marinating, and cooking is performed by me.


This.

And, as for all the other stuff in that list, if I am doing it right with the BBQ/grill, I am working my tail off the whole time. From preparing the meat to seasoning it to getting the grill right to keeping the fire down to turning the meat, etc., she is usually done with her part before I am anyway. I also usually am working on a few sides as well in between. Of course, we usually do a lot of meat when we grill, so there is much to be done.
