They eat us up hungrily, and when they’re full, they vomit us up.

Men: "They’re like stomachs and we’re just the food. They eat us up hungrily, and when they’re full, they vomit us up."


Slightly disagree with the women in Shakespeare's Othello! I mean, my husband just whipped up an awesome mid-week meal based on masterclass last week. I know he watches MasterChef (tick) and cooks dinner (tick) and washes up (double tick).
Tonight he created George Colambaris's Greek ribs with a bean salad, mixed with fetta, caramelised onions, baby spinach, pine nuts and cherry tomatoes. MMMM and did I mention the yoghurt dressing drizzled on top with a mix of honey! Feeling slightly healthy too and no stomach bulge. BONUS! I had been salivating for them since last Friday, even though I'm not really a ribs girls. Close-ups on TV showed them juicy and tender and I'm a sucker for the contestants groaning over food!. Pretty easy to make, a crowd pleaser and tasty. Next week we might make Matt Moran's version and compare which was tastier!
