I have no idea what's in chicken piccata and I don't know how to make a souffle. I am also not a chef and didn't put half my father's restaurant staff out of business at the ripe old age of 11. Dislike that guy immensely. I loved Dale, the Buddakan chef. I also just had dinner last night at Dos Caminos, so to see their executive chef on TV was a trip. I really liked the Kiwi as well and hope he rebounds from the duck l'orange dish.
And Rocco was smokin' hot, and I've not been a fan before.
ION, Survivor made me cry tonight. And AI made me want to cry last night for very different reasons.
In other, other news, the MMaSM kids looked sooo amazing at their goth photo shoot. So good that they deserve their own post. All the ones left are really beautiful, gah!
I
made a couple of cheese souffles when I was a teenager! And my mother dictated the recipe to me over the phone while she was in the hospital!
Also, my favorite is Antonia because we Antonias have to stick together!
I don't have any particular love for the Stephanie on the show.
The MMaS shoot and runway show were awesome. Holly looked absolutely stunning in both, and despite the fact that Perry is a ginormous, arrogant asshat, he was smoking in that top hat and eye shadow at the cemetery.
I also thought Shannon looked beautiful in her photo -- beautiful and dead, which is what she was supposed to be. She didn't look stiff to me, though -- the lines of her body were very fluid and graceful, and her face in profile was breathtaking. So. That was sort of weird to me.
TC: I've never made a souffle, and I guess I always assumed they were difficult due to years of bad sitcom jokes about the things falling, but I sort of assumed that anyone who had gone to culinary school or was working in a professional kitchen would have *some* idea how to make one.
Survivor made me tear up too. I don't even want to watch now. Waaah.
Also, I'm about to vote for the first time for MMaSM. I'm worried that
the Ronnie/Ben voting block will screw over Shannon, a vastly superior model. Not that she'll have trouble being booked, but still.
America does seem to like the boys, bon bon. I'm a little worried about that, too.
bon, your worry is also my worry. I think that Shannon is toast. The Ben/Ronnie train is going to roll right over her. As pretty as Ben is, he's shown himself to be a tremendous asshat (while Ronnie has been much more palatable - though not tonight). I wish Ben were in the bottom again, because I think Shannon would've at least had a fighting chance against him. If there's any justice in this world, though, Holly should have this thing in the bag. She was stunning in the photo shoot.
But really all of them were freakin' gorgeous this week. Just amazing.
Was the Stephanie on TC the winner this week?
I cannot recall which one Antonia is.
