Vortex, I noticed that on Bones too! I was also entertained by how the little girls liked his "huge muscles." Good taste, that.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Really, Padma's got all the ingredients for Top Chef hosting -- model, modest cooking achievement, much-older, more famous husband.

Ailleann, I'm sure you appreciated the Bones preview as much as I did. Must see viewing, indeed.

Our wings are not tired.

I just got this on e-mail, and my first thought was sharing it, even if only for the first coffee-themed one.

Hee. There were a couple postcards in there I need to print out.

I'd like to get through the rest of today without feeling like a giant tool.

Okay, reading the Top Chef blogs, I'd somehow gathered that bacon was a required ingredient. Apparently it was not, and I have to say, WTF? Yes, Cat Cora won with bacon-flavored ice cream on Iron Chef, but (a) there were not CHUNKS OF BACON IN THE ICE CREAM and (b) bacon was the secret ingredient.

I can't imagine choosing to include bacon in ice cream if bacon were not somehow a required ingredient in the challenge. Avocado makes more sense -- it's at least got the right texture, and Alton Brown's done it -- but not to serve to kids. Seriously.
