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

So sad about this week's elimination on The Great British Baking Show.

Oh yes. She was wonderful.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

They will all be tough from here on out.

There is still at least one contestant I expected to go first.

Me, too, sj. But it's going to be tough to decide between my top three.

Anyone else see Food Flirts on PBS? I can't believe this got picked up to be a national show! The Brass sisters are local institutions, and at least one of them worked at WGBH for decades.

I just saw a promo for it the other night! It looks sort of adorable.

Friends don't let friends read "Atlas Shrugged"

For GBBS, the semi-final and the final are being combined this Friday - it'll be a two-hour show, starting earlier than usual (warning so you can set your DVRs).

And I think they're starting to get a little ... odd? ... with their themes. Tudors? really? I halfway expected pies filled with headcheese ....

I liked the Tudor theme.

I didn't mind it. I'm actually kind of interested in trying to make the jumbles.
