@cocoesq: We made rabbit a few weeks ago—so yummy.

@hortense: She was robbed! I don't care who he was cooking with—it's really hard to beat Mario Batali on that show. Who also really likes Giada—he wrote a lovely forward in her first book. At the South Beach Food & Wine festival in Miami recently, Tony and Michael Rulhman gave out various awards (called "The Golden…

@hortense: The show is shameless, but her recipies are really good and worth checking out on the Food Network's website. We have all three of her books, and many of her recipies are staples in our house during the week.

@FourInchHeels: Can't stand Paula, but I will defend Ina—there is no pretense of her making "healthy" meals, as it's more about entertaining with friends and family. Her recipies are (at least to me!) pretty intimidating too, so I don't see people running out to replicate them every night of the week—they're more of…

@hortense: And regardless of what she's making, every episode ends with some ridiculous "cocktail" that requires about seven different ingredients to make. Another one I don't like? Robin Miller. She is supposedly a nutritionist, but it's painfully obvious that her version of "healthy eating" is "not eating"—as she…

@AthertonMerriweather: And when TV celebs like Rachael Ray and Sandra Lee show up on TV advocating using pre-packaged garbage and pounds of cheese to make their "homemade" food appealing, that only serves to make the situtation worse. Which is yet another reason why I love Alton Brown—on the vegetable episodes of Good…

@vegemitekid: Never read the books, but I love me some Jill Scott. Saw her in person near the Electric Factory in Philly—my fiance half-whispered excitedly "That's Jill Scott!" as she was getting buzzed into a building, and she must of heard us because she smiled, and DAMN, she has a GORGEOUS smile. Not to mention a…

@braak: Comment of the day.

@braak: There are several accounts of sexually-tied "ecstasies" within Christian texts—and all of them are weeeeeeeeird.

@thewordunheard: Loved Ulysses too—took a 20th century Brit and Irish lit class because the professor was a crazy Jesuit and an expert on the text. Made it much more accessible than it would otherwise be. Am harboring a goal to be in Dublin for Bloomsday one of these years...

@Fabrice Sensation: YES. My mistake. Duck Tales ruled—I still have a Webby Vanderquck doll.

@AbbyNormal: Is it strange that Darkwing Duck always gave me the willies because of the opening titles and the creepy Thames screen clip? It made the show much creepier than it really was, but I also realize that I would really appreciate it now, much along the lines of Futurama.

@bellethellama: Park, not part. I can't type for crap today.

@Augusta: During one of our Industrial Arts rotations my friend and I did a Lego module, which entailed us making various models with Lego Technic, including making some amusement part rides. Best. Class. Ever.

Loved Legos—mostly to build complex houses. @Rhody: Word on the Lincoln Logs as well—we had sets from three different generations (my grandfather, my dad and my brother) so I made some awesome prarie towns from those. And building blocks turned into family-room forts.

@bellethellama: Ok, so the puffy sleeves weren't as pronounced. It was a ridiculous look, but sooooo sexy. Loved it!

Sooooo late to this party (was going home from the airport!), but lemme say—each of them really brought it. I also liked Jillian's collection more than Rami's, but what can you do? At least she could show, and demonstrate to the world her awesome talent. While the season has lacked the "drama" of prior ones, the…

@leMaldeTete: Not at all. Tina Fey rules!

@SinisterRouge: It's hysterical that Super-Duper-Tuesday failed to annoit a Dem candidate, despite all of the machinations by various states to push up their primary dates. And it's great that voters are still voting for who they want, instead of who is eventually going to win—that's what seems to have happened on the…

@SinisterRouge: Replied to you on the news roundup, then realized that you would be here—how wild is it that PA matters now as a primary state??? That kind of blows my mind. And regardless of my own feelings for her (and I don't want to get into that now), I really admire her fierce (not in the fashion-industry way,…
