(1) The woman buys the food.
(2) The woman makes the salad, prepares the vegetables, and makes dessert.

Phuleeze -- that is grilling, not BBQ.
When I was a child, I spoke and thought as a child ... of BBQ as burnt offering and pig-swimming-in-sauce.
When I turned to a man and moved to Texas, I put away childish things ...
... replacing them with brisket, sausage, ham, turkey, chicken, and even bologna ...
... all purified by the patient application of wood smoke for hours upon hours, where the flame toucheth not ...

Hallelujah!
Dave went to Home Depot yesterday and bought 42lbs of charcoal.
I'm ready.
