I think you're right, SA. @@
Spike? It's you. It's really you! My therapist thought I was holding on to false hope, but…I knew you'd come back. You're like…you're like Gandalf the White, resurrected from the pit of the Balrog, more beautiful than ever. Oh…he's alive Frodo. He's alive.

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."
TC: I really enjoyed Lee Anne's blog. Thanks for linking it, sumi. She has such an interesting perspective on the show. And also, I probably should have know this, but I didn't realize she was the one responsible for all the beautiful presentations. I don't remember salivating over plates of raw proteins in seasons past. But one look at her presentations and I want to cook! Anyway, she's been a real asset to the show. I wish they would let her function as a mentor, because I really think there are some changes chefs could make halfway through their preparation that would really change their results.
Conclusion? I heart Lee Anne.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
I don't think I know what that means...(bottle service means you byo and they charge you a fee for corking it, right?)
No, it's the opposite, where you can buy a whole bottle of liquor for one brazilian dollars, and get to feel like a Lohan or a Diddy. And it's the kind of place that "shouldn't" be in the neighborhood where it is.

Liese, I know! She is doing a fantastic job and always has an interesting perspective on the challenges.
And she had some great ideas for that frozen piecrust challenge - conclusion?
The 4th place finisher from Season 1 may be better than the last two seasons of contestants.

Punishingly Intricate
OH! Bottle service...der! I should have known about that from my life (in which I watch Entourage and read a lot celebrity gossip).
I wish they would let her function as a mentor, because I really think there are some changes chefs could make halfway through their preparation that would really change their results.
I would so love that!

So, ita! Are you watching History Channel's "Human Weapon"? The SO & I really enjoyed tonight's episode on Muay Thai, and I was wondering what you'd think about it.

Bourdain blogs TC the best - so amusing.
I think I saw maybe one episode of Rocco diSpirito's show. Interesting what Bourdain says at the end of the blog about him.
