BRAAI RULES (for non-South Africans, a braai is a barbeque)

We are about to enter the braai 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 braai 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.
(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 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...

Seems correct to me, except for the part about the woman stepping outside of the kitchen at all. Shouldn't a servant be conveying the foods?

Bah! Ya see, that's bollocks! I used to always hang around with the men and drink while I let the other women do all the kitchen stuff... They seemed to like it...and I liked the drinking with the blokes so we were all happy!

Heh, Elfie. Vain has it almost right.

I do all of that, and do the grilling as well!

I thought women burst into flames if they touched the holy of holies?

*grin*

Now that was a good comeback.

...apparently not this woman...

...although cho very well might...

You forgot the old "devolve into arguing about politics and/or religion... (Because what else is there to talk about, right? )
