Is this rude or what??

[jenscats5]

I'm watching this cooking show where the host of the show is having a "dinner party" where she will use the grill. The pretense of the show is her calling a friend & asks him to bring charcoal + a charcoal chimney, then man the grill when he gets there.

I think asking a guest to buy grill supplies -- especially a charcoal chimney of all things -- then "man" the grill is awfully rude.....

Discuss....

I bet this is a TV show and not real life....


Am I right ?


Otherwise I would agree with you, unless it is one of your/mine slacker family members

 

[Lestat]

is it just a show? is it setup that way on purpose?

is the host providing the food? that is usually the expensive part.

 

[KillahBee]

What show was it?

Well, yeah, it's a TV show.....so I'm sure it's "set up" that way for TV....

BUT, it annoys the heck outta me that they would even include that part....

She is doing the food + the cooking -- BUT the food is pizza done on the grill

I'd like to assign people housecleaning tasks before my parties. The people I know the best can clean the bathroom, floors, etc. Then the really extra special people would be impressed.

Emeril recently did a show with grilled pizza.. was interesting, but not my cup of tea

 

[Y_lifter]

pizza on the grill is awesome, no matter who brings it or cooks it..

I'm just sayin.

No, the show is "Barefoot Contessa" where she lives in The Hamptons, which isn't snotty enough without asking to bring over a charcoal chimney + 2 bags of charcoal....

Yes, Giada is awesome!!

I hate that show. Giada is the perfect woman IMO. And yes, it is rude.

I invite people over and ask them to bring things all the itme

I actually KNOW someone who has a party then ups & goes to bed while everyone is still there....they end up feeling bad & clean up for her....She does it ALL the time....

Well, sure, it's ok to ask people to bring something -- like a bottle of wine or some beer or pasta salad....but a Charcoal Chimney?? Just light the damn charcoal!!

I'd kill her. I don't mind helping out, but if you are gonna throw a party you better be prepared to do the clean up as well.

I certainly don't mind when people offer to bring stuff over, and I don't feel bad about saying "you mind picking up some more beer/alcohol?" because that shit can go fast.

I try to stay awake for company unless it's my brother in law. He's lucky to see me with makeup and not walking around in my pj's.

I'm against guests having to cook unless they're asked to bring a dish.

I think don't a women should use a grill though. We're not smart enough to understand that. Our dainty little selves should be protected from flames. Us silly creatures should just look beautiful and be guarded from such dangers. We'll probably be attracted to the pretty flames and get hurt. Men had to create stoves for us so we'd be protected from the danger of the pretty dancing fire.

We need men to guide us and shield us.

I lose arm hair every time I use the grill.

 

[Raina]

I don't have hair on my arms but that's not related to the grill.

I've actually been to a party where I had to shove all the guys away from the grill cuz they weren't cooking the food properly....Can't have that!!

Well, yeah, especially if you have friends like me who won't leave till ALL the alcohol is gone & drink like the proverbial fish.....You gonna drink up all my booze the least you could do is bring some yourself....

My buddy had a party like that for Halloween. He was taking donations before he went to pick up the last 2 kegs. He was also asking everyone for $5 if they were going to drink.

Keep in mind that we went through 5 kegs, 15 bottles or so of liquor, and he had a 150-200lb pig. Even with all the people there, he said he didn't recover what he shelled out, but he didn't mind because everyone had a good time.

We are the fairer sex. We should just sit on satin pillows in our hoop skirts doing our needlework and thinking about how we can please men. That is the job of a woman.

And we should bake and cook a lot too...but no grilling. That's men's work. Oh, and it's our job to look all prim and proper. While the cookies are baking I spend that 8 minutes in front of a mirror brushing my lovely locks thinking "he deserves a woman with shining hair".

 

[Buddy_Christ]

I do the majority of the cooking but I don't get into baking.

I try to pass off the clean up but it doesn't work too well

I'm thinkin', forget the skirt & baking (except for a certain kind of brownie), just cook lots of dead animal. We'll handle the BBQ tho, wouldn't want you getting grease burns on your hairless fair skinned arms.

How are you doing at the giddy door greetings and bringing your new man
his pipe and slippers ? Just think, in a few years, you'll also have 5 or 6 children to dress up and line up for his evening greeting..
