This adult generally uses her microwave for reheating most food. The only exceptions are things that have been fried or breaded or have some other crunchy component that a microwave will destroy.  Those things go into the toaster oven.  

Cracker Barrel gives you several little bottles of syrup?  Are they plastic bottles? If so, yet another reason to not ever go there.

No, you aren’t. I was so confused about why the tops of everyone’s cakes kept burning.  And then I got it.  But I had a bad couple of minutes there.

And I’m far from a hardcore Kevin Smith fan.

I kinda want to see it now, to be honest.

My SO & I end up taking separate vacations usually by default because we end up visiting our respective families across the country. Every five years or so, I go with him to visit his folks. Because I’m a nice person, I don’t make him come with me to visit mine.

Rao’s is the shit. And now I want spaghetti.

I think there was one.  I’m glad he’s not doing them all the time.  Last season was ridiculous with all the handshaking going on.  But if anyone deserves one, Steph did if her bombe was indeed one of the best things he’d eaten in a long time.

Her interactions with Noel were gold.  

Yep. Since the books were setting Dany up to be evil, I was watching for tiny signs of her impending turn in the show. And I saw them. Were they really there or was I projecting? Who knows? All I know is that Dany turning evil didn’t bother or surprise me at all, though I get why it seemed out of the blue to a lot of…

So I think Safeway does both things. There is an aisle for ethnic food (also including cajun/creole products) but something common like soy sauce is also in the condiment aisle.  Same for various spices and sauces. 

When he first started out his shows were ridiculous. The set looked like a bro-pad in his parents’ basement and his food wasn’t great. He routinely had visits from friends with names like Mustard and Dirty P. Dirty P on the Food Channel! 

Then you haven’t actually watched his cooking shows the last few years.

I can’t decide what’s worse. Getting the fancy ketchup or getting Hunts. 

I don’t even like being called boss by people I do supervise. In fact, I ask them to stop, which only makes them do it more.  I’m probably not a very good manager.

Since virtually everyone failed, even the folks who have demonstrated some skill (David, for instance) I am going to believe that it was.  I mean, the beignets themselves probably aren’t hard, if you have a recipe but I think they withheld a lot of helpful information. 

It can be two things.

I think it’s because they realize that the technicals are too hard this season and it’s not fair to give very much weight to them.

Usually there’s maybe one or two really difficult technicals that no one gets right but has there been a decent one yet this season?  

That last bit is what I’m really afraid of.
