ReviewThe American Barbecue Showdown
I just finished watching this, and I loved it. I'm really into grilling and BBQ. There's something about the primal way of cooking combined with nostalgia for cooking with my grandparents that puts me in my element in front of a grill or a fire. No electric or gas grills for me! All fire all the way!
This show stood out to me for how kind all the contestants were to each other. Each time the going got tough they supported each other. It was just a joy to watch.
Does anyone have any cooking show or cooking contest shows to recommend that they enjoy? I need something new to watch now. I'm considering the Great British Bake-off (I think that's the name) because it has a similar wholesome reputation. Baking isn't exactly my thing, but anything I could learn from I would enjoy.
I like it, but she spelled “choked” wrong.
Also, it's strangulation instead of choking! I didn't know this before but choking only refers to something blocking the airway from inside. Strangulation is outside pressure.
I know, this has been on my nerves too, but I think it’s just casual language when they mean it in a sexual context, plus, strangulation sounds... purposeful?...
Honestly... at this point, I’d be tempted to rebut people who want to “let women be feminine” by saying something like, “Actually, you’re right. If certain women choose to be maidservants to men, why not let those women lap up all that “sex-positivity” and “feminine power”, while everyone else chooses empowerment via going against the flow? Someone has to do the grunt work of placating men, after all—might as well let the ones who enjoy it do it”.
Pretty inflammatory, but I think it gets the point across.
I dress in a very feminine way, but I rarely catch any flack for it. When I do, it's usually from men and butch lesbians.
It's crazy how much women go to bat for men and the patriarchy.
