Someone is cruising for a Commie.

Projecting. Her comment wasn't all that cogent but she wasn't slurring.

Yeah, if she did that, Tom would've blasted her for taking it off of the bone.

They're doing all the discussion at the restaurant before they call out the teams at the judges' table.

Purees should stick around because they make for lovely soups.

I love cinnamon in savory but you'll also need other spices, such as nutmeg or cardamom or cumin, and not add any sugar to it. The moment the sugar (even if it's just part of a sauce) hits the cinnamon it's game over.

He probably is a real dick. He reminds me so much of my asshole cousin, who looks just like him. My cousin likes attention but he's such an ingrained asshole, that's the only way he knows how to get it. At least some assholes have the sense to leaven their dickishness with sleaze. But I do enjoy that every moment when…

I wonder if that might be a difference between people who say they like 'classical' generically and those who like Beethoven (or any other composer like him) specifically. I know I would be suspicious of someone who listed classical as a favorite but only listened to compilations. Indeed, all the genres are heavily…

"The content of the piece doesn’t need to reflect the form that closely. It’s not necessary."

Catholic and Eastern Orthodox. Even though it says in the Gospels that after Jesus was born (I assume not immediately) Joseph 'knew' Mary.

There will be competition in Portland. Even the chains are doing food and booze here, and the rest of the theaters were doing it when League was in diapers.

Also, with the way that vinyl is sold, it isn't an either/or proposition. You buy the LP and get a code for the mp3s. Every form of magnetic tape is pretty much off the market, cds are…

I'm finding the associations between the characters interesting. Noah and Alison always have two meetings—one daytime, one at night (building up the duality). The daytime meetings always involve the youngest daughter. At night his recollections involve Alison smoking and … uh … getting wet (it's not subtle when you…

Noah left out completely the moment with Scotty (if there was one) at the house. If Alison's recollection is correct, it could be Scotty who was killed, and Noah didn't mention it in order to avoid suspicion.

He has that pouty lip thing going.

Same here.

This is just going to make my eventual come-from-behind victory more epic.

It's make for a nice mental image for the Dora question.

I think the instant feedback benefits Padma. It lets her speak mind so she's less likely to pick on a more minor point later on.
