I've been out of the abbey two days, I've beaten a lawman senseless, I've fallen in with criminals. I watched the captain shoot the man I swore to protect. And I'm not even sure if I think he was wrong.

He whipped through those chickens, like whoa. Casey was painful with those onions, I could have done a better job easily. I felt slightly better about it because winning the challenge didn't really seem to help them. Frankly, having Stephen talk wine to me woud have been a detriment, not a help. I would have commented on the annoying sommelier.

Colicchio's face when Hung was chopping the chickens was priceless. Oh, and ITA on Stephen. That would've driven me up the wall.

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."

Hee. In the grand tradition of awesome episodes that contribute to my actual culinary knowledge, I rewound a couple of times for how to cut those onions. And possibly also how not to.

Hung was too fast to be helpful to me. I still am afraid of complete chickens. Not in a David Boreanaz way.

I think that DB would love watching Hung deal with chickens. It might even be therapeutic.

Okay - I need Dale to stay in as long as possible. I love his confessionals and he totally handled Ciccone and Stephen perfectly.

Back tattoos of the mother is that you are absolutely right - Ame

Liese - also realize that she was using a dull knife. A knife she should have sharpened at the end of the previous night so that it was ready to go when she needed it again, but dull none the less.

Right. She knew that she had to cook that day -- and she used two wrong and dull knives.

yeah, but her technique was crappy. She was sawing at those onions. Even my crappy Henckles "eversharp" would have done better.

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."

Huh. That reminds me. I need to sharpen my knives. I was so used to having el-cheapo all serrated knives that I don't always remember, now that I have a reasonable set.

See? Watching television is good for you!

Friends don't let friends read "Atlas Shrugged"

You know, skimming the posts about shows I don't watch leads to some interesting readings ... I went from BB, and Evil Dick, to "he went through those chickens" ... which may have been more entertaining than either of the shows really was.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

BB: OMG, anyone else watch Amber and Daniele on Power of 10? Drew Carey just asked Amber if being in the house was "starting to get to her at all," when she (of course) started crying like she does.

Edit: Ha ha ha! And he asked her what it was like being scrutinized all the time, and she said she doesn't know what scrutinized means.

Why is Drew still wearing the fake glasses? He got Lasik years ago. Couldn't he start working a slightly new persona for his new game-show host career?
