Barbecue Man’s Style
Reagan
Summerside here and Auntie KiKi’s frettin’ something fierce. She and Uncle
Putter are having their annual spring barbecue and KiKi knows what’s coming and
not one bit happy about it.
Barbecue Routine
1) KiKi buys the food, invites the guests, prays for sun.
2) KiKi sets the tables, makes the deviled eggs, pimento chess
appetizers, sweet tea and mac and cheese, green beans with salt pork and a nice
cocoanut cake.
3) KiKi prepares the meat for cooking, places it on a tray along with
the necessary cooking utensils and sauces she’s conjured up, and takes it to Uncle
Putter who is lounging beside the grill - beer in hand.
Here comes the important part:
4) Uncle Putter PLACES THE MEAT ON THE GRILL.
More routine....
6) KiKi comes out to tell Uncle Putter that the meat is burning. He
thanks her and asks if she will bring another beer while he deals with the
situation.
Important again:
7) Uncle Putter TAKES THE MEAT OFF THE GRILL AND HANDS IT TO KiKi.
More routine.....
8) KiKi prepares the plates, salad, bread, utensils, napkins, sauces
and brings them to the table.
And most important of all:
11) Uncle Putter tells good boy jokes and swills whiskey.
12) Uncle Putter asks KiKi how she enjoyed his party aAnd, upon seeing
her annoyed reaction, concludes that there's just no pleasing some women....
I’m afraid this year Uncle Putter will wind up with his putter smashed
right over his head.
What are barbecues like in your neck of the woods?
