Yeah, I was really interested in hot water crust, because we're so obsessed with keeping the butter cold for flaky fruit pie crusts.
Captain was looking for a pilot. I found a husband. Seemed to work out.

Cat Deeley on Project Runway! Fun! She didn't have a lot to contribute as a judge, but it's fun to see her.
Don't love the dresses. Or the challenge, really. I mean, bridesmaid dress - is there such a thing as a great bridesmaid dress? I'm never much of a fan of Marchesa, though, (to the extent that it always surprises me when I agree with Georgina) so maybe that's part of it. And actual wedding on the runway is just silly. I mean, two minutes and hardly any guests, I hope that isn't all they're doing.
Loving Isaac Mizrahi being so very critical, though, and I'm content with the winner and auf. Fabric choice, man, mess that up and you are cooked.
Dogs next week! I am looking forward to that.

I just caught up on The Great British Baking Show, and I had no idea how different baking was in Britain- I have never heard of most of these things like yeast leaven cakes and hot water pastry, and so much pork IN pastry.

I made my mother watch it, which she thanked me for, and we had to have a long discussion of hot water pastry over dinner last night! Pork pie is a family favorite.

I said something similar upthread recently. So many things I had never heard of (but probably have eaten) despite having traveled to the UK several times.

This sounds more and more like something I need to watch.

Where can a person catch up on this show? Though I'm not sure I want to--I'm still dieting, and very susceptible to suggestion (also, I had to spellcheck to get "susceptible" because apparently I had no idea how to spell it).

I watch on pbs.org. I think they have all the back shows for this season as well.
It is so different from American reality shows because everyone is super nice, and even the judges try to give constructive criticism that will help in their baking in the future.

FWIW, apparently in the UK it's called The Great British Bake-Off or similar, but Pillsbury has that phrase on lock here. So if you're looking through methods, you might try that title. Or pbs.org, yeah.
