"Arabella is the cutest baby I have ever seen. She&amp;#x27;s so happy! I hope everyone had a fantastic 4th of July! I went to Boston to see Shana, Jason, and baby Arabella. I always enjoy this holiday because I like BBQ food but don&amp;amp;#8217;t have a backyard in my NYC apartment, and couldn&amp;amp;#8217;t work a grill if I did have one. Jason and Shana have a nice roof deck and grill, but because there were 5 babies at their party, they thought it best to just order catering from a place called Blue Ribbon BBQ, which was very amazing.The party was quite the view into parenthood. The guests had all met at play groups or classes. I didn&amp;amp;#8217;t know anything about teething or eating solids, so my mind (and fingers) kept wandering back to the buffet. I got to thinking: before I consider having babies, I&amp;amp;#8217;ll need to find a man&amp;amp;#8212;and one who knows how to barbecue (or &amp;amp;#8220;grill,&amp;amp;#8221; as they say on the east coast). Okay, maybe it&amp;amp;#8217;s not fair of me to call any particular task a man&amp;amp;#8217;s job (watch my second Glamour video about women buying a man a drink), but dudes do seem to enjoy cooking meat. Even self-described dandies like Ryan, who use product&amp;amp;#8212;I suspect even they like to fire up the barbie, as long as the flame doesn&amp;amp;#8217;t get too close to their hairspray. To me, uncooked meat is slimy. Plus, I tried to make a hot dog once but the inside was cold. Grody. Boston fireworks from the roof deck! We drank Pimm&amp;#x27;s, which is British, and not very patriotic. Oops. Trick! This is me pretending to BBQ last Christmas. My dad took a picture of me posing with the tongs. Don&amp;#x27;t I look natural? Anyway, good times celebrating America&amp;amp;#8217;s 233rd year of independence. Oh! And I also marked my one-year blogiversary. Whoa. How was your 4th? Does your man barbecue? Is grilling an important skill for him to possess? Do you say barbecue or grill (as a verb)? Let&amp;#x27;s take an informal poll. Get Glamour Wherever You Go!
