Most important bit from "Top Chef": Did anyone else catch Ming Tsai checking out Padma Lakshmi's ass when she went to go get the losing team?
You do well to flee, townspeople! I will pillage your lands and dwellings! I will burn your crops and make merry sport with your more attractive daughters! Ha ha ha! Mark my words! Ooh! Ale! I smell delicious ale!

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.

To understand what happened at the diner, we shall use Mr. Papaya! This is upsetting because he's the friendliest of fruits.

I’m responsible for my own happiness? I can’t even be responsible for my own breakfast! (Bojack Horseman)
Suppose you allow 16 bucks a piece for dinner and drinks
At Fisherman's Wharf, during the holiday season? Dicey.
AHAHAHA! Ha. Ha... Boston is not San Francisco, but I know that places that hold 450 people screw ya on catering. heh.
Signed,
Have sat in on too many conversations with civilians who rail us on the per person price, told us that they can do better, and have come crawling back after getting even higher numbers on their own.

Also, I freaking LOVE fruitcake, we make one every year with the dark brown sugar and the brandy-macerated dried fruit and the spritzing with conac for a month and the OMG I can't wait! Soon!

Damnit, I missed that most important tidbit - perhaps I will rewatch TC this weekend.
Do we have repeats for c.s.i. and G.A. this week?

I had to rewind to be sure. But yeah, he's totally checking her out. Mind, I was doing the same.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Really, who wouldn't?
Happy birthday, Fiona!!

Because books.
I missed that, victor. Not that I wouldn't do the same myself. She's gorgeous.
Top Chef: I detest Marisa. Drama queen. Get a grip. She behaved like a seventh grader.
And I like Otto! Nice of him to drop out, although it means the judges didn't get to boot Marisa. I really thought it was more an offhand remark about the lychees, as if he noticed them as they were loading the car and wasn't sure if they'd been rung up -- not that he'd hoped to get them for free.
Funniest moment: When the losing team was brought in and Ilan started running his mouth about how good their food was and how they didn't deserve to lose. Chef Tom's eyebrows went up about a foot. Heh. Not a way to win points with Tom.

The whole TC Lychee incident: why didn't they just STOP and check their receipt? Are they really that pushed for time?
It's not unlike the misunderstanding that could be resolved by a simple direct conversation thing.
Amy - Oct 26, 2006 4:47:02 am PDT #5704 of 10001
Because books.
Exactly, sumi. Plus, hello, the whole fricking thing is ON TAPE.
But yeah, if Marisa was so offended and upset, why didn't she confront the others right there and say, Let's figure this out.
