Exactly!

“Marcelled”

Damn, I did not know that.

It’s way too mango-y, though, in a way that is not pleasant.  Just last night I put some in some refried beans and rice and it made the food taste strange. 

There was a lot of funny in this episode, but you had to listen close to catch a lot of it. 

Was it Michael or Henry who said that they’d never made lemon curd or rough puff? Who in their right mind would go on this show without knowing how to make rough puff and citrus curds? Same with the person who recently admitted that they’d never made a genoise sponge. WTH? Did they just learn you were going to be on…

Yes, this. To be honest, I generally cannot stand to watch people bake on cooking shows. As much as I love Ina, as soon as she starts making dessert, I’m outta there. But this show? I cannot get enough of it.

Honestly, the little short woman - Stacy? She’s freaking hilarious. When one of the contestants asked her if she’d ever had a maid of honor she was like “Oh, yes.” And it was clear that she wasn’t talking about either a pastry or a bridesmaid.

I think it just did.

I’m going next weekend.  So they have that going for them. 

I think that was her lemon curd, not her cheese curd.  Way too much curd going on for one bake. 

So here’s something that’s really started bugging me: Why do they wear the same clothes both days? My suspicion/fear is that it’s for the convenience of the editing monkeys and it makes me worry that they mix and match footage among days and challenges.

There is no good reason to disallow people in offices from wearing earbuds.

Not to mention undercooked curd. Blech. I wouldn’t have eaten that either.

At this point, how is a blast chiller not a staple of the tent? With how frequently they get opened and closed, regular refrigerators and freezers are just not enough.

Are any of the letters real?  

In the thermostat wars, I come down fully on the side of the hot people.  If I’m cold, I can put on a sweater but if I’m hot? No one wants me taking off my clothes. 

This boomer would commit murder if forced to listen to either of those things at work. Or anywhere, really.

Is it an office? Because that is inhumane.

It’s a good way to talk to people without bothering all of the people in the other cubes.
