I'm just, uh, just feeling kinda... truthsome right now. And, uh... life's just too damn short for ifs and maybes.

OOH, thanks for the head's up. I knew it was soon, but I didn't realize it was THIS soon.

Because books.

Clearly some of you did not watch the (wildly boring) Top Chef: Just Desserts, because they've been promoing it for weeks.

I gave it up when I went away because there needed to be room on the DVR for important things. The Willy Wonka episode was worth watching, but the rest of them nsm.

Yeah, as much as I love sweets, Just Desserts just doesn't really do it for me. And I didn't love any of the chefs this season.

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."

I think I'd like the show a lot more if they:

a) allowed them to bring in some recipes

b) gave them more time to prepare the desserts.

Friends don't let friends read "Atlas Shrugged"

I'd like a show where I got dessert.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

Just Desserts was not a healthy show for me to watch - every episode made me want brownies.
