I was reminded of the article about the show that someone - you, sj? - linked to about how it was best to bring the judges SOMETHING, even if it's not complete or there's a problem with it. Two people had problems with their boxes but brought them up and got credit for having a "biscuit" that tasted good.
Lorne: Take care of yourself and ah, make sure fluffy is getting enough love. Gunn: Did he have anything? Fred: No. And who's fluffy? Are you fluffy? Gunn: He called me fluffy? Fred: He said make sure…wait. You don't think he was referring to anything of mine that's fluffy, do you? Because that would just be inappropriate.

"There are few hours in life more agreeable than the hour dedicated to the ceremony known as afternoon tea."
Maybe, but it doesn't sound familiar. It is true though.

It's this article.

I could have posted that. I post a lot of things when I'm not sleeping.

Is it the series with Flora which is currently airing? I think so.
Flora lives in the same valley as my parents and they know her mum and dad quite well. In fact, when my two were small and we went to visit, my parents borrowed Flora's old high chair for them to use. Our brush with fame....
I've told them to get at least two signed copies of her book when it finally comes out, one for each child. They love Bake-Off. C. is turning into a pretty fine baker herself.

I want to know what lipstick Flora is using--it's gorgeous!!! (Up to episode 4--for some reason, my PBS station showed ep 2 yesterday, ep 2 has been up on PBS.org for almost a week...and then one of the other PBS stations (WETA) has through ep 4 up on their website! So confusing)

Our wings are not tired.
I think I'll be on the last one, airing July 20
And you were! Excited to see Jon on my tv in my living room. And now I don't have to watch AGT again! The format of those kind of shows is crazy making for me.
So was it a blast? Did you enjoy meeting the people and the whole experience? It is really wonderful that you got on the show. Super cool, Dude!

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Damn, I missed it! Remind me to go find the clip on line tonight.

And WETA now has through episode 6! Thankfully, they were mostly things (gluten free pita? squid ink vol au vent?) that did not make me desperate to break my diet and start baking (though the frangipane...)

A turkey in every toilet -- only in America!

Whoops! Missed this.
It *was* a blast! The other contestants were very kind and supportive (not competitive at all) as were the crew. You could tell that everyone was working really hard to present you in the best light to the judges and audience. Of course, once you get knocked off, they edit your performance to make it look way worse than it was, but that didn't surprise me. What did surprise me was that I made it as far as I did!
