@RobertIrvine I just call it the Bobby Flay network. I just set the DVR to record the show at 10pm & I kid you not, as of 4pm, there are 10 @bflay episodes on @FoodNetwork before the 10pm bbq show; then 8 more by 5 am with one repeat of the BBQ show. Boycotted since @RobertIrvine has been off!
Food Network's Top 10 is tonight at 10 pm! Tune in as we are are igniting the ultimate countdown of the 10 most fire-kissed, sauce-drenched, fall-off-the-bone barbecue in America! @foodnetwork@hbomax#FNTop10
@iky_fwjett As the only granddaughter on my dad’s side, I shook that tradition up! I couldn’t understand why I was the only kid who had to work during get togethers while the others got to play. No one could look me in the eye and say because I was a girl! They eventually let me play too.
Matthew McConaughey says love isn't a 100-watt bulb, it's a 30-watt bulb
"I don't see how the honeymoon period lasts forever. The honeymoon is all on hope and the possible. We don't know each other as well as we're going to. Now we're getting into real stuff. Real pains, real pleasures, real fatigue, real wins together"
"If you try to hold onto that 100-watt bulb to be the light all the time, you're Wonder Woman, I'm Superman. It seems humanly impractical to live up to and unfair to each other"
"There's a preacher who said love is more like a 30-watt bulb. Dim the light a little bit. It'll last longer. Not as bright, but it'll illuminate longer. It's more realistic. It's more human"
The neurodivergent paradox: won't message first, won't answer calls, avoids eye contact... but if you speak to them? Suddenly the funniest, most passionate person in the room. We're just waiting for a safe space to switch on.
Be sure to tune in to Food Network's Top 10 on Monday June 8th at 10 pm! Food Network chefs are igniting the ultimate countdown of the 10 most fire-kissed, sauce-drenched, fall-off-the-bone barbecue in America. An "Egyptian cowboy" in Austin, Texas, redefines pit mastery with a North African-spiced rack of lamb, and in Charleston, S.C., a Chinatown-inspired platter delivers a cross-cultural knockout. Join me and my fellow chefs as we bring the heat and the hard opinions as we prove that in the world of barbecue, every region, every pit, every bite tells a story @foodnetwork@hbomax #FNTop10
The problem gentlemen is you think "rapist" means scary man in a hoodie lurking in an alleyway at 3am. Of course you'd block that guy.
But it's the boyfriend you really loved who was angry that you hadn't wanted sex for two days and pinned you for the bed and then felt really bad about it.
It's the really sweet guy backstage who you loved working with for the whole production who knew you only wanted to be friends and then got you drunk at the after party and raped you in a dressing room.
It's the husband who whined and pleaded for sex long after you've said no for hours and refused to take no for an answer until you gave in every night for four years until you realised what it was.
It's the childhood friend who knows your parents and is your brother's best mate who suddenly attacked you when you were 17 and then told you he'd be thrown out of Oxford if you said anything.
It's the kind colleague who offered to drive you home from that conference when there was a train strike and then forced his hands into your pants in a lay-by and then threatened to leave you there at 3am if you didn't stop being a cockteasing bitch.
We're not dumb. We see the constant attempts to make anything short of stranger with a knife made up, regret, our fault really, a matter of the woman not being clear.
We know why you keep trying to make this 'not rape'. Because if coercion, marital rape, pressure, manipulation and exploitation count, then the comforting fantasy that rape is only ever a stranger with a knife falls apart.
@RobertIrvine this came up on my Facebook feed from a page I follow. Will you be enjoying any of these dishes while you’re over there? (And any idea how to pronounce the second row on the left? Looks delicious! 😋)
