I know.

Which in turn is what Hannibal said to Abigail at one point, I'm pretty sure. He definitely said it to someone.

I feel like that implies a level of planning that has not been suggested, but hopefully we will find out.

She said he choked to death on his own tongue, and also that it was not attached at the time. I don't see how you make that happen without putting your hand in the guy's mouth.

I actually felt like that was beyond a call-back, since Bedelia herself had remarked upon it before, IIRC. There was at least one episode where it was a major refrain, this line between self-defense and murder. It was present in Abigail killing Nick Boyle, Will killing Randall Tier, Bedelia describing killing her…

The advantage of the vinaigrette approach is that it's good for raw veg too. Best of luck!

If I recall correctly, she choked him to death with his own tongue. (This isn't a spoiler, she said as much last season.)

Also, I now remember, the 100% paralleling of Hannibal's entrapment of Bedelia with his reeling in of Abigail. "I can help you, if you ask me to."

How did you cook the spinach? If you sautee some shallots and then cook the spinach with them (with some salt and pepper) that can do a lot. Or if you want to avoid the fats from even sauteeing the spinach, you could sautee the shallots, steam the spinach separately, and just mix the shallots into the steamed spinach.

I feel your pain.

A lot of the Florentine stuff was definitely shot in actual Florence.

:D

But on the other hand, THIS.

No, he said it first.

Nah, his whole thing is playing people like instruments.

My father informs me that one of the pieces of music playing was titled "Pavane for a Dead Princess," so I'm pretty much dead and in heaven now.

PLEASE

What a mensch.

I definitely thought she was checking him out a little.

I'm really not sure. By the end of the episode I felt like her killer within was definitely fascinated by what Hannibal does—that she was legitimately taking some kind of pleasure in watching Dimmond die (though also conflicted about feeling that way)—and so is drawn to him and his world/philosophy. But that doesn't…
