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.

I have not yet watched, so I'm not reading the whitefont yet, but it sounds to me like Ming Tsai should have guested this week instead!

I had Singapore Street Noodles at my favorite Thai-ish restaurant, spiced up with curry just hot enough to make my nose run just a little.

mmm singapore noodles

I'm going to BK after I go to the doctor's for a not-fun thing. It will be my reward.

Oh come on. I can't be the only one who woke up craving bacon and waffle ice cream this morning. Bacon and avocado? NSM.

They didn't tell them where (or to who) they'd be serving the ice cream ahead of time, so I actually thought the people who went with the more traditional stuff - i.e. Cliff - were actually taking a bigger risk.

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

If Ming had seen the hot pants, he might have passed out.

I think that Cliff had the right idea though. "What do I like in ice cream?" That's would I would have done I think.

Yes, he did. Cliff might be my favorite. I feel like he has assholic tendencies, and we just haven't seen them yet.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.

I can't be the only one who woke up craving bacon and waffle ice cream this morning.

Well, maybe not, but I sure as hell didn't.

I did think that whoever it was that made the avocado ice cream with marshmellows was clever about not telling the kids what it was.

Were they told specifically that it had to be an entree? I didn't catch that.

Not to be all Captain Sav-a-HoHeatmiser, but I think whats-her-name was the one who was totally provoking all that bs. I could see why Marcel was being an ass while she was cooking.

ETA: I also found it very interesting that Elia had worked with him and was backing him up. Though more in theory than in fact so far, as far as I can tell.

Right. If Elia was really backing him, she wouldn't be whispering when she told him that she always defended him

Also, Marcel whines a lot about everything. He bitched and moaned about the fryer, blaming Mikey for dropping the temperature of the oil, as if he'd done it on purpose. Not that I don't think that Betty overreacted, but she a lot of what she said, I agreed with.

Even if Betty was wrong, it was still wrong of Marcel to say that he was trying to throw her off of her game. She left him alone while he was cooking, she was mindful of Sam cooking and asked Marcel to leave it until Sam was done so that he could concentrate, which was nice.
