The technical challenge Paul Hollywood really wants to have.
Um, well, we listened to aggressively cheerful music sung by people chosen for their ability to dance. Then we ate cookie dough, and talked about boys.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
Blind baking is just pre-baking a pie crust. You weigh it down with something so the crust will keep its shape and not form a big bubble in the middle of what's eventually going to be your bottom crust.
Riverdale's teens look even older to me than Dawson's Creek's teens did back in the day! And I have to think the writers are deliberately teasing us with the geography, because in the pilot they have the cheerleaders talking about the competition over in Rockland County, which would seem to put Riverdale in either Riverdale or Riverdale. But in the next ep Veronica's getting cupcakes flown in from New York, which would put it...elsewhere.

True, but then I think of 90210, with Luke Perry (who is craggy as HELL in Riverdale!) and whatshername who played Andrea, who was SUPER old to be playing a teenager.

sarameg, you know what else is good in oatmeal cookies? butterscotch chips - I used to make oatmeal cookies with those for my sister who hated raisins and she'd actually eat them.

Our wings are not tired.
So how 'bout that football game? I watched very little this season and wanted the other guys to pull it off for the big game. Oh well, even as a die-hard Brady hater I have to say they deserved the win. At least the rabid Pats fans had some heart failure for a while there.
I was pretty pleased with the commercials. I haven't bothered to see who the trumpsters are calling to boycott. But I had some warm and fuzzy feelings for a few of the ads.
Good game, good company, good food. And now it is Monday. Oh well.
eta: butterscotch chips are always welcomed

Because books.
Mmm, butterscotch oatmeal cookies. Yes.
As an entirely non-football person, I have to ask -- why does everyone hate Tom Brady?

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
Mm, butterscotch.
Somehow, the Riverdale teens being supposed sophomores pings me as even more absurd than 90210 Luke Perry. Not sure why.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
Why am I earwormed with a Black Eyed Peas song? What did I do to deserve this?

I don't hate Tom Brady. Feels like he's been the Superbowl quarterback forever though. It's like every Superbowl analysis comes down to 'Will Tom Brady feel like throwing a bunch of touchdowns, or will he can't be bothered?'
