Because books.

What brenda said about Idol. I do love Harry Connick, Jr.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

I would love to see blind judging on Top Chef.

Only one of y'all has a Michelin star (and just awarded again this year), and it's not you, Shirley, Nina or Dickhead.

Just to be a Devil's Advocate, I will point out that the Michelin stars are only awarded for restaurants in New York, Chicago, and the San Francisco area. Chefs from any other area in the entire country, be it Philadelphia, Seattle, New Orleans, Miami, or wherever, don't have the opportunity to receive one. So it is indeed an accolade, but hardly fair to compare it to all chefs across the country.

I would love to see blind judging on Top Chef.

A chef picked his own mentee for worst taste this week on The Taste. I love when that happens.

I just got an email from someone in Wapakoneta, OH, wanting to come to the classes I teach at work (103 miles from Wapakoneta.) I suggested some other libraries closer to her, but it made me think of the Wapakoneta Kid, so I came to tell you about it.

Aw! Wapakoneta kid!

...when does SYTYCD come back? I miss it. Or some other dance show. Or something.

Oh, Kent! He was such a cutie patootie. I'm still kinda surprised that Toothy Blonde Cheerleader beat him out for America's Favorite Dancer that season, although TBC really grew on me. I was rooting for her by the end!

SYTYCD seems like it has been gone for sooo long. I think I just got spoiled that year we had like three seasons in a row. Anyway, it won't be back for a while. AI just started and that thing is going to be around forever. I think we are back to SYTYCD just being a sweet summer trifle.

Because books.

Speaking of Idol, someone needs to ban "Radioactive" as an audition song. And I LIKE that song.

De-lurking just long enough to post this:

Life after SYTYCD

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

Huh. Well, that sounds like an interesting idea, and possibly a good vehicle for him.
