Bloke stuff

[den]

While looking for mosquito coils at Big W, I surprised myself by standing in front of the racks of new fry pans and thinking "Hey they look good. I should get one. OOH! A grilling pan!"

I was looking at fry pans. My subconscious kicked in about then. "EMERGENCY!! Get to the automotive section ASAP! Turn left here to avoid the food processors! Now right. LOOK OUT! SAUCEPANS!"

I felt better after a few minutes looking at LED tail lights, xenon bulbs and cans of WD40. "Ooooh! Spanners! Hey I need a new magnetic philips head screwdriver," said the subconscious. "LOOK! Butane-powered soldering iron set! How cool is that?"

I feel better now, but it was a close thing. Fry pans? Sheesh.

But had you looked at a grill, that would have been another thing, right? Blokes grill and use the barby.

It's funny how indoors cooking is traditionally a woman's job and outdoors is traditionally a man's job. At least that's the stereotype.

Me? I love blokes who can cook indoors and outdoors. Hell, I guess it is true to some degree..."The way to a man's heart is through his stomach"...er, except that I'm not a bloke.

Ah well...I can live with this.

It was a frypan with a lumpy grill base, so it wasn't suitable for barbies. I don't do a good barbie. I don't like the fat splashes on my glasses.

DEFINITION OF BARBECUING

[azhreia.livejournal.com]

It's the only type of cooking a "real" man will do. When a man
volunteers to do the 'BBQ' the following chain of events are put into
motion:


1) The woman goes to the store.


2) The woman fixes the salad, vegetables, and dessert.

3) The woman prepares the meat for cooking, places it on a tray along
with the necessary cooking utensils, and takes it to the man, who is
lounging beside the grill, beer in hand.

4) The man places the meat on the grill.

5) The woman goes inside to set the table and check the vegetables.

6) The woman comes out to tell the man that the meat is burning.

7) The man takes the meat off the grill and hands it to the woman.

8) The woman prepares the plates and brings them to the table.

9) After eating, the woman clears the table and does the dishes.

10) Everyone praises 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.
