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.
Dude. Less than 1 minute!
Since I don't like sugar, avocado ice cream sounds like a perfectly valid flavor to me -- for adults. Serving it to kids in a competition is clearly insane.
Scola rocks like a rocking thing that rocks. And his smile makes me melt.
I just want to say hello to FredPete .
Except, they didn't know where they were serving it beforehand, did they?
Also, Padma is better than Mrs. Joel, but still not a great host. I do like how she gets enthusiastic about the food though.
I can actually see, I guess, where avocado would work, although I'm not a big avocado fan, and I *am* a big sugar fan, so it sounds grim to me. But bacon? *With* avocado? Come on. The fact that so many of them seemed not to understand they would be serving it to kids struck me as fairly stupid, too.
Not a good sign that I want to write if you can't figure this out, you are a moron and shouldn't be trying.
I think I should go work on another project for a little bit. My handholding skills are looking a bit peaked.
And I'm reading the whitefont just because I find it hard to resist reading whitefont.
hah! Me too even if I know it's about something I don't really care about.
Salman Rushdie! That's so funny! I don't know what answer I was expecting but not that.
AmyLiz, I was confused about the same thing! They did say "entree" right? The corn side dish seemed delicious to me, too, and really easy to pair with something entree-ish.
I haven't seen last night's ep yet, but I have to agree with your No Hotpants In The Kitchen stance.
Having seen it, I just want to say that Padma can wear hot pants anywhere she likes.
As for the avocado ice cream, as per Alton Brown, you can actually do just about anything with it that you can with eggs, and Carlos pointed out that it allowed him to save some time, so it wasn't completely random. On the other hand, Carlos was able to effectively control the flavor so it still tasted like ice cream (as evidenced by his being a runner-up, whereas Marcel couldn't. Because he sucks.
It's ben pointed out elsewhere that Marcel is this season's Stephen, except Stephen actually won things once in a while.
