German week will go one of two ways. Jürgen will be the terminator again as expected. Or it could go like French week last year and the pressure could be higher on him, causing him to tank. Who am I kidding? I don’t think Jürgen feels pressure at all.

I think Amanda may be the only weak competitor left. Everyone else is pretty strong, and things will get tighter. I was happy to see Chigs get Star Baker. We had to have some break in the Jürgen/Giuseppe battle for first.

I thought they were mispronouncing entremet, too, but the word was imprimé, meaning that the design was imprinted in the sponge. I did figure it out before they showed it written by the drawings, but only just.

I’m behind an episode, but the fact that I switched to something else last night instead of watching another is proof that I’m not clicking as much this season. I feel like these catastrophes, like dying and becoming zombies, are ways to take the main cast mostly out of the picture and feature guest stars front and…

When I started my library degree, we all had to take a full day seminar to learn Archie, Veronica, Gopher, Tin, etc. This was August of 1995. By the end of my first semester, the web broke properly and every single thing we learned was obsolete. The only one I ever used was Tin because that ran our university email. 

You have to click on the link for the photo to see the 4 Golden baklava.

Wait, so are you saying they bought 20 TRAYS of baklava?! That’s even more insane.

It was 4 Golden baklava and 16 Nusret baklava, so 20 in total.

I get the feeling they were fine with the bill. I they posted it, pretending to be outraged, but really just wanting to show off how much they could afford to spend for dinner.

I tried to get my best friend to bring me saffron back from Spain once, but he was worried he would get caught. I argued that he could not possibly afford more saffron than he could easily hide. But he went off on a tangent about saffron sniffing dogs in airports and I never got my gift. Oh well.

If you can get a bag with Reese’s Sticks, that’s the real winner. Speaking of which, I wonder why Kit Kat isn’t on this list. Have you got something against crispy wafers?

I’ll take Sidney Sheldon over E. L. James any day of the week. Making bank of schlock will never go away.

Oh man does that 4:30 movie intro take me back. I had no idea it wasn’t just channel 7 in Detroit. I used to live for Godzilla week, but my sister was all about Planet of the Apes week.

Yes, it feels very weird for this season to start so soon after the last. Especially since I’m still watching last season’s Stargirl and Supergirl.

Inconvenient for me, too. I don’t get home from work until about 20 minutes into it and have to catch up the next day. This week I watched in the morning so I could join in the comments. Not sure if I’ll keep that up.

I’ve known academically gifted people who seemed like complete idiots in conversation, or couldn’t function in day to day life. I call them functional airheads. The absent-minded professor is a cliché for a reason.

I’m calling it now. They blow/blew up the Waverider themselves because without their trip to NY to recruit Dr. Davies time travel won’t be invented. Don’t know how they fix J. Edgar Hoover, though.

That makes it even weirder, because my dad worked for Chrysler and was notoriously honest. His other title was Government Liaison and he the oxymoronic reputation of being a scrupulously honest lobbyist. He was a  unicorn, basically.

Came here to say Julia Child myself. There is no contest to my mind. We wouldn’t even have the endless cooking shows on TV without her.
