PR: I'm not sure her design palette is as limited as people think. Certainly, everything she presents is distinctively HERS, which isn't a bad thing for a designer, but I can't say they've all looked the SAME. But yeah, I quite like Laura. She's got the "New Yorker speaking her mind" thing down pat, and she's hysterical when she's paired up with Michael.

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.
PR: Laura definitely has a "point of view" but I think this dress was the one she's made that's the most like what she always wears, no? I was glad that Uli didn't make a halter dress, speaking of making the same thing all the time.
Crockpot question (it's been a while): I'm making a stew. How much liquid should I use? Cover the ingredients? 2/3? 3/4?
Oh, crockpot.
I thought you said "crackpot" and I was confused because it seemed like a perfectly sensible question.
Which I cannot answer because I don't have a slowcooker and only make stews on the stovetop.
I think for a stew, you'd want the liquid to cover. But I don't own a crockpot, so I have no idea how much evaporation you need to compensate for.

Bruce Schneier is one scary dude.
Gronklies. Undercaffeinated.
PR: w/r/t comments on Laura's POV: I think this is the same problem as Austin's in the first season. Talented designer, creative, good at construction, but no ability to think out of the box. At least Angela's Audrey Hepburn dress was something too tasteful for Angela to ever wear.
