2 tablespoons of finely grated onion (juice squeezed out and discarded) 2 tablespoons of chopped fresh tarragon 1 tablespoon of fresh chopped parsley 1 tablespoon of cider vinegar or white wine vinegar 1 teaspoon of Worcestershire sauce 1 teaspoon of horseradish Salt and pepper to taste


Method *In a medium bowl, whisk the mayonnaise with the crème fraiche, cider vinegar, onion, parsley, tarragon and Worcestershire sauce and horseradish. Season with salt and pepper to taste then cover and refrigerate.


* Grill the bacon over moderately high heat, turning once, until crisp, about 6 minutes. Then leave to rest on the warming rack.


* Fill a large bowl with ice water. Gently mix the ground rump with the ground sirloin, salt and pepper. Form the meat into eight 8-cm burgers, about 2 cm thick. Submerge the burgers in the cold water and let soak for 30 seconds. Immediately transfer the burgers to the grill and brush with some of the melted butter. Grill over high heat for 9 minutes for medium-rare meat, turning once or twice and brushing occasionally with butter, watch out for flare-ups. Top the burgers with the cheese during the last minute of grilling and let melt, now is when you can also toast up your buns if you wish.


* Spread the tarragon dressing on the top buns. Set the cheesy burgers with the crispy bacon on the bottom halve, top with lettuce and sliced tomatoes, then close the burgers and serve right away. Enjoy!

When a man volunteers to do the BBQ, usually on a Saturday, the following chain of events is put into motion:


Barbecue routine 1) The woman buys the food. 2) The woman makes the salad, prepares the vegetables, and makes dessert. 3) The woman prepares the meat for cooking, places it on a tray along with the necessary cooking utensils and sauces, and takes it to the man who is lounging beside the grill - beer in hand.


Here comes the important part: 4) THE MAN PLACES THE MEAT ON THE GRILL. More routine.... 5) The woman goes inside to organise the plates and cutlery. 6) The woman comes out to tell the man 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) THE MAN TAKES THE MEAT OFF THE GRILL AND HANDS IT TO THE WOMAN. More routine..... 8) The woman prepares the plates, salad, bread, utensils, napkins, sauces and brings them to the table. 9) After eating, the woman clears the table and does the dishes. 10) Everyone PRAISES the MAN and THANKS HIM for his cooking efforts. 11) The man asks the woman how she enjoyed ‘her night off.’ And, upon seeing her annoyed reaction, concludes that there’s just no pleasing some women....
