Lake Forest’s specialty is mediocre restaurants that everybody in Lake Forest thinks are awesome because they want to believe that their most white bread of exclusive suburbs has everything they could ever need and there is no need to ever go anywhere else, except maybe an adventure to the ghettos of Highwood (which…

Exactly. Which is why everyone should remember to replace green bean casserole with collard greens that have been cooked down with smoked turkey wings and jalepeno peppers.

green bean casserole.

I knew I couldn’t bear to lose any of them, but I wasn’t prepared by how nervous I would be when it happened. For a bit there, I really thought it was Giuseppe’s time, which would have shocked me even if it meant Lizzie stayed. I suspect next week’s elimination will break me.

Right? Allison seems to be confusing engineers with construction workers or machinists

I will miss Lizzie deeply but that was an impressive cake on which to make an exit, the colors and construction were splendiferous and gigante! I would rather her do that than stay another week and possibly fail during Patisserie Week. Robicelli, I understand you are awestruck by that adorbs Clark Chigs Kent in his…

Knowing you love all things Lizzie, you should know that she and Freya are still friends and hang out. Lizzie has a sister who is a tattoo artist (because of course she does). And you can probably see where this is going; Freya and Lizzie now have matching GBBO tattoos.

One of the best things about them was the way that they would dye your tongue.  I always went for the two-tone dye job.

And lo, not a single Spree to be found. Our nation disappoints me.

Well, the girls had to. Boys weren’t even gonna be asked to do this.

In many cases, conservatorship is really about money and control. Limiting access to the person is part of that. This situation with Britney is so messed up with so many red flags that it is mind boggling. Just one red flag here: if she was so mentally incapacitated, how does that jibe with doing a one person show in…

I might give the show a shot if they ever do an episode where Noel spends an entire episode in his Old Gregg character.

Yes! I thought the same thing about The Changeling. Stanfield in the George C. Scott role would be great. It’s a good slow burn, creepy movie.

i am turned off by micro-penises. Also, by penises.

I appreciate that, but word on the street is that if I’m not absolutely in love with it I am obligated to be fervently against it, so from this point forward it’s As and Fs, no inbetween. (Seriously, thank you for saying that, it’s very appreciated and a sign I’m doing what I set out to do.)

The original Egg McMuffin is the perfect breakfast sandwich. If fact, it’s the best thing at McDonald and it’s not even close.

I could never watch Curb Your Enthusiasm because I couldn’t stand the Larry David character. If he’d spent the whole series yelling at Dershowitz I’d buy the dvds.

Larry David isn’t alone. This sign was in the center of Chilmark when the Dersh was helping Waddles with his first impeachment.

An idea: Stop writing about him. Really.  No one should care about anything he says.

It also seems like the kind of thing you only need to do if you choose to hang around crappy people. (In my experience, my kind of people don’t spend much time with crappy people.)
