I have news for him....grilling is NOT masculine......Which speaks volumes about how large his mangina is....
Oh Puh-leeeze! Grilling is MASCULINE. It's a classic American Male Trope: The Dads or The Men grilling. Fire! Meat! And there is nothing wrong with that.
Personally, I am THRILLED that mr. boe views grilling as His Domain. Dinners prepared outside are his responsibility; indoor dinners are mine. We grill a lot...and I do the dishes.
There is nothing masculine about grilling. Guys wearing aprons, sauces lined up in neat little rows along the grill....metal spatula hung like some wannabe six shooter at the hip.....and of course....the brillo pad to keep the grates clean......
Please....
Masculine is killing, dressing, and butchering the animal and then spitting it on a branch to turn over an open fire....
The American male who thinks that grilling is some kind of male thing extending from the cave days is a fool......
I grill....but I don't consider it a part of the masculine that defines Me.....Its just a summer time chore....
