ITA. Celery isn't even food - just roughage and water.

Also, a spice. It has a very distinct flavor. I don't like it as filler, but I love it as and onion/pepper/leek/garlic type of veggie, though it's much subtler.

Anyone see Hell's Kitchen tonight? I think I'm addicted (again). Ramsey is just such a bizarro combination of tyrant and benevolant despot. The big thing is what gets out to the customer. He'd rather they get no food instead of bad food, at least in this environment; I assume folks who come to the place must realize they may not get anything (or get it hours later).

Also, still really liking the US Creature Comforts. It hasn't made me guffaw yet, but it's made me smile both episodes.

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

I'm eating spinach (spanikopita) for dinner, AIFG.

We did too. Trader Joe's.

Mine too. The individual ones, or the pie?

The individual ones. We also had salad. Just simple: baby lettuce & spinach, tomato, romano caesar dressing and croutons.

Art Crawl!!!

Re: Hell's Kitchen Second week and they already did a full service -- that's pretty good. And I cannot believe that at the beginning of the day - the contestants actually believed they were getting rewarded with a fishing trip. After totally failing to even get appetizers out before running out of all food. Also, why didn't Rock get rid of Aaron? Does he just figure Aaron is going to go anyway and this way he ditches two rivals for the price of one ?

I guess, sumi, but it's pretty short-sighted - having him on the team is basically being a man down to begin with. If they hadn't royally screwed themselves regardless, I'd have said that GR did them a favor kicking him to the dining room.

Plus, seriously, that man is not well. He needs to be in therapy or something, not on a reality show.

Sumi, on HK, I figure that yeah, Aaron's toast one way or the other, so I figure he was more trying to get rid of the guy who's name I can't remember who wasn't Eddie. I gotta say, as bad as some of the Waffle House cracks were about Julia (?), the shots at Eddie, while some were deserved given his lack of compatence/confidence, were a bit more disturbing when they focused on his size. I know kitchens can be brutal, socially Darwinian places, but several of them were when he wasn't there (and from Ramsey). I lost a little respect for the tyrant on those slurs.

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!

hmm, I should take that supertaster test. Pretty sure I'm not one, as I have a preference for bitter over sweet usually (except for beer). I think my bro and sister are supersmellers, if that exists. My sister can use her nose to help her diagnose patients.
