My food is problematic.

Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.

Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica

The food I miss most from home is seafood. Everything here seems to be hauled in frozen from somewhere else. Though, I have to say, the crab legs here are AMAZING. When I can afford to splurge on them, I steam them and melt some butter and am a happy happy gurl.

Now that I think about it, I used fat free cream and light butter in the potatoes, light butter with the scallops, and light whipped cream on the strawberries, so it wasn't the huge calorie fest I think it was.

That just seems bizarre to me. Isn't LA next to an ocean?

All is well that ends in pizza.

Monk has been OCD at *least* since he was in high school. What fucking power does Sharon-lite have that she can soften the effects of the OCD? I mean damn.

Yes, but it was milder before Trudy died. Her murder threw it into overdrive. In the flashbacks he was OCD, but he had it within himself to control it somewhat and function within the police force.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

I almost got goose intestines for dinner, but then I wasn't sure about the vegetables that came with it. So I chickened out and got the calamari.

You can't really swim in the ocean, here. Not without mutating into Kevin Costner's character from Waterworld. So eating stuff from it seems like a bad idea.

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."

Daniel,

true enough, but Trudy has been dead for what...six years? He literally has been improving leaps and bounds over the first season. What changed? Oh, bad writing.

And yes, I 100% agree with your sumi. The premise for this week's ep was fucking ridiculous. It wasn't that many months ago that he couldn't live one weekend without Sharona.

Ah. That's a good point. Although, would gills behind the ears really be that bad?

the set-up of this week's show -- there is no way that he would have been made temporary guardian of that little boy

I totally agree with this.

Monk is sort of like House on a smaller budget. USA network must be pinching pennies everywhere.

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.

One day, back in January, I was leaving my building and slipped on a patch of black ice, slamming my face into a car on the way down. A couple of days ago I noticed that the shiny red sports car that is always parked in that spot has a dent very near where I hit it. I wonder if my face did that.
