Death is your art. You make it with your hands day after day. That final gasp, that look of peace. And part of you is desperate to know: What's it like? Where does it lead you? And now you see, that's the secret. Not the punch you didn't throw or the kicks you didn't land. She really wanted it. Every Slayer has a death wish. Even you.

Lost 2: Tied to a Tree in a Jungle of Mystery  

[NAFDA] This is where we talk about the show! Anything that's aired in the US (including promos) is fair game. No spoilers though -- if you post one by accident, an admin will delete it.

Steam them just until they're a nice bright green and still crunchy, then season (to taste) with sea salt -- or table salt -- and pepper, and balsamic vinegar (if you like it). Top with crumbled feta cheese.

Also try it thusly... Steam them as above, drizzle with fresh lemon juice (and possibly a very small amount of melted butter), and top with pan roasted almond slices.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

Slice up some garlic, toss it in a pan with the beans and some butter. Saute until nice and crispy, then cover to steam for 4 minutes. Take off heat, add a capful of lime juice, cover again and shake to coat.

(Between this and Natter, I think the moral is: green beans = yummy.)

Mmmmm..... I love green beans soooo much.

Also? Ding dong, the witch is dead, which old witch? MUTHAEFFIN STEPHEN!

Also, also? I know this thread is supposed to be about Lost, but they ran a clip show last night, so I'ma keep talking about food and Top Chef.

Punishingly Intricate

What's a good tasty way to cook greenbeans?

I like to just toss them in a pot of salted, boiling water for a few minutes (like a very few 2 or 3 depending on how big the beans are), drain and toss in an ice bath for a little bit. Salt and eat. Plain but delicious!

A turkey in every toilet -- only in America!

Did anyone actually watch the clip show? Was it as painful as I suspect it was?

I watched it. It added no value to the season. I thought it was odd that it claimed to be all about the "Faith of the survivors" and totally skipped Charlie's craziness and Aaron's baptism and the church building.

What is even happening?

I watched it. It was mindless reminders, but I was grateful for them. This season feels so chopped up.

This season feels so chopped up.

I've been trying to decide how much of that is the writing and how much is the fact we only see 2-3 episodes before some kind of break. All the interruptions can make it seem even choppier. I'm withholding final judgment until I can watch the DVDs straight through.

For me, it's more the breaks. I didn't expect the last set of breaks. I don't know why. I think I was conflating it with VM being off the air too long, but then have a nice unbroken run through the season finale.
