My father’s title was Assistant Comptroller and I still don’t know what it was. I only know because, being a Depression baby, when he retired he brought all his stationery home to use as scrap paper.

I served scallion pancakes at my tea so I could play Green Onions. Good call.

I could be here all day. Just as a start, Apple, Peaches, Pumpkin, Pie has been stuck in my head on and off for weeks. Prompted by it, I was musing about the time my best friend was working on a bubblegum album and mentioned that many of the songs used food as a metaphor to get away with talking about sex. I then…

My sister loves sour sweets and all lime candies and is sad that so many have been discontinued. I told her recently that Sour Patch Kids green ones are lime and had her taste one of mine. Her response was, “I want to pick all the green ones out of your bag and eat them.” It wasn’t more than a couple days before she…

Shouldn’t be that many. The Shade appears to be late Victorian, 1880s or 90s. Three of my grandparents were born in the 1890s and one in 1905. I’m not old enough to be Amy Smart’s mother, but my oldest siblings are, so let’s put her in the next generation from me. That’s four, not too tricky to keep an eye on. I don’t…

I thought it was going to be the courage to let Alex die to save her secret. I expected dark and twisted from that totem, I guess.

I’ve been looking at a lot of houses lately, something I do when bored. I am frequently surprised at how many bedrooms have French doors. Madness.

I vote for complete buffoon. She had no background in news before buying Catco. I don’t even know why she bothered to steal that and only that from her father. The whole Catco plot this season has been a mess and a waste.

- This isn’t the first time this has happened on this show, but did the writers really forget that Brainy said there were a set of Totems on every world? Is there any reason why Nyxly can’t grab another Totem of Hope from another planet and use that?

I feel like if Emily had children, Shade would have kept track of them and their descendants.

My dad’s side of the family have a thing for red decor, which I inherited. Whenever my Dad’s opinion was asked about something for the house, he chose red. My Aunt Pat had it the worst. When she got divorced she did her new place entirely in red and loved it. Nothing creepy about it to my mind. I usually have a room…

And it no longer notifies for stars, just comments.

Please no. We don’t need any more shows ripping off Back to Reality. Red Dwarf did it right and I don’t need other people copying it. I dropped BTVS for that reason, I’m not above dropping Dr. Who for it.

Why did I not realize before now how much the Hallmark movies owe to Douglas Sirk? I feel like an idiot.

As a firm member of Team Giuseppe, I want to think this is the turning point and he will defeat Jürgen. But I’m sure Jürgen will come back stronger than ever next week and this will turn out to be a blip. Still, GO GIUSEPPE!

I suspect after his bread week wobble, Jürgen will go back to dominating. Nadiya also had a very poor bread week and came back stronger than ever. I’m sure Paul would hate to hear me say it, but it seems the least relevant week to the overall results.

I need to rewatch Hannibal. I loved all the foodie threads we had in the comments. I used to try to make a special meal that night when I could. I was especially proud of the day I found Red Dragon cheese to accompany the show.

Yikes!

I was going to say they are all women, but does Brigadoon count? Gene Kelly went back in that one.

She does, but that was in this episode and I hadn’t seen it for a while. It was probably Rick’s teacher I was thinking of from last week.
