You’ve been invited to a barbecuelucky you!
Here’s what NOT to do while your host is grilling.
For some reason, grillings presumed to be a mans domain.
Being a helicopter guest
just let your grillmaster work her/his magic without hovering.
Its perfectly fine (and actually quite nice!)
to ask once if you could help.
But when the answer is no, its okay to take no for an answer.
Well, the grill is your grillmasters oven and stove, so hands off.
Bringing your dog
Your pooch is adorable, but he doesnt belong at a barbecue.
Unless hes specifically invited (orreallywell trained!
Asking for a speciality drink
The cooler with soda and beer that your grillmaster set out?
Thats the barbecues cocktail menu.
If youre craving something special, why not bring it to share?
Psst…When Im the grillmaster, I serve upfrozen drinks in pitchers.
Being the bug police
Bugs dont bug me.
People who are bugged by bugs at my barbecue bug me.
And Im not alone in this!
Do your best to accept the reality of bugs at a barbecue.
Of course,no one will have any issue withthesebugs.
Never bringing a sweater
Come on now!
You know that when the sun goes down, it can get a bit chilly.
If youre someone whos always cold, then come with a sweater.
Think of your wine as a giftand kindly dont take it with you when you leave!
