"There are few hours in life more agreeable than the hour dedicated to the ceremony known as afternoon tea."

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.

Because books.

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.

I actually loved Coach for a minute there.

Punishingly Intricate

Dang, I'm just catching up on Work of Art and I'm kind of loving everyone. I am also super tired and work has been a complete stressball this week so maybe my defenses are down. I don't know. They are all adorable to me right now and I don't want any one eliminated!

Because books.

Work of Art: I'm unreasonably charmed by Sucklord tonight.

And I have a big problem with the judges' take on what's a good interpretation and what's not. I don't think visually imitating what the kids did is good art, necessarily -- I think taking the kid's piece you were given and responding/reacting to it is valid. Especially in Tewz's case.

I sort of agree about Sucklord's, though. It's so literal, just a 3D mock-up of the child's painting, that there really isn't much response (or much of him) there at all.

Punishingly Intricate

No I have to really catch up on Work of Art so I don't get accidentally spoiled for it! But I'm too tired to watch tonight's. (I LOVE THE SUCKLORD, btw)
