Thanks for the link - this is the kind of information I was looking for.

Which goes to my point, you were trying to make tofu into something it isn't - i.e. ground meat.

It would be a gift if Disney was broadcasting it for free. Does anyone know whether Disney is sharing any of the $gajillians they're making off this with the now (presumably) unemployed cast and crew? Somehow I doubt it.

I think extra firm tofu would add a weird texture to a smoothie. Can I ask why you "don't you do tofu"? One thing I've found is that people try to think tofu can be pretend meat/chicken. It's not, it's tofu. I've found a good "gateway drug" for non-tofu lover friends is baked tofu. Drain the tofu, blot well with paper towels, whisk together (just suggestions) sesame oil, garlic, ginger, soy sauce, rice vinegar, fish oil, gojujang. Cut tofu block in half horizontally, then eight strips vertically. Put tofu on baking sheet, add marinade, top with sesame seeds. Cook for 30 minutes at 350.

Many decades ago we stayed on a working farm and the cows decided they liked the taste of the paint on my parents' car. Totally scratched up because of their very rough tongues! Our local zoo used to sell/give away manure from the big cats to use for this exact reason. (Not sure if they still do.) I used to mix a little cayenne pepper along with the bird seed. The birds didn't care but the chipmunks and squirrels did.

It's after midnight and some dick in the neighborhood is still shooting off fireworks that sound like bombs. They started around 7pm (yesterday, the third) and are still doing it. Why are people so selfish and thoughtless?

Meanwhile the President is attending an event at Mt Rushmore today with thousands of participants - no masks required.

"I love you" is so overused in the US it no longer has any true meaning.

A combination of the mute button and my laptop on, well, my lap.

Thank you for making me grateful that I've never had the misfortune of seeing this ad.

Who in the world names their child Domaine?

Pet peeve? My ex is still a narcissistic dick.

Well that makes everything okay then.

Except me.

My child is having elective surgery next week. I support them in everything they do, but my heart hurts and I'm worried. I appreciate all good thoughts and prayers, if that's your inclination.

Pet peeve of the half century. What happened to a simple round of applause at the end of a performance/play/concert? Where I live, every single mediocre, even dire, performance receives a standing ovation.

I'm sorry she suffers from this, but it still doesn't excuse how abrasive and unfunny she is.

Channeling my inner Anne Burrell - every time I see those stupid curtain pull-ties in the ears of the one competitor, I just want to cut them off. Same with the ridiculous sleeves on one of the other "cooks" dangling in her food as she cooks. It's one thing to not know how to cook, but every season (which of course I continue to watch) the lack of common sense is just incomprehensible. Darwin has obviously been busy elsewhere.

You're an ambitious chef (not a breed known for its humility) and your choices are a low brow seafood place in Savannah or a gig at Caesars in Vegas. Seems like a no-brainer to me.

I totally agree, but frankly, I think they were probably aware that they were outclassed by Melissa not just in the finale but during the whole season. She ran away with the whole thing.

I just saw a Charmin ad where the baby bear scratches its bare (sic) bottom back and forth across a wooden chair. How is this supposed to make me want me to buy its product rather than a flame thrower to sanitize the chair? Incidentally, has anyone heard/read anything about Charmin donating in these times of Coronavirus? All I see on their website is a pledge to keep their bottom (ha) line going: We’ve seen many questions and comments and know you’re concerned about finding our products in store or online. We understand how frustrating this is, and want you to know we take our responsibility to our consumers very seriously. We are producing and shipping Charmin at record highs and working on getting it to retailers as fast as humanly possible so everyone can #EnjoyTheGo! Thanks so much for your loyalty and patience. From our family to yours, please stay safe and remember to spare a square for your neighbor!

No, it didn't mean anything else. When your parents says they love you, does that mean they want to sleep with you? Of course not. Your friend knows you're straight, they have no interest in you sexually. Does that mean they can't say I love you? Please don't have the coversation with your friend; it will be nothing but hurtful to them. I'm very glad you asked the question here. There are many types of "I love you." Your friend loves you.

I would like a time penalty any time a team knocks into a local while they're yelling their way down a street. It really shouldn't be acceptable.

A long time ago, far far away, Graham used to interview them separately and then just brought them together at the end. I prefer that format, since like you say, no-one hogged the sofa, except maybe an egotistical Tom Cruise and a hilarious drunk Bill Murray.

Gregory's back was causing him a boatload of pain. He got treatment while still in Italy, but left to go home a few days after he lost, presumably to get treatment from his regular practitioners. I just hope he had a lot of painkillers to get him through that long flight. (Maybe airline Kevin was able to get him upgraded to first.) This. Especially since he (to me) has the most pretentious sounding voice. Not me. Never eaten there. Though I do agree that Chain Food Restaurant sounds fun. Shut up Leanne (in the car at the beginning). Suggestions are fine if asked for, but she was trying to set Melissa's menu. Guess who didn't make final three? Guess who won the whole thing? Not you, Leanne.
