The food didn't look too bad. I was interested in the homemade vanilla wafers and a refresher on making homemade pudding. It didn't look like enough food to feed all of those people.
Otherwise, that show was a hot mess. David probably packed up and took off for the week. I caught at the beginning of the show that "Camp GiGi" used to last for an ENTIRE MONTH -- until David put his foot down. Ugh... Can you imagine? A bunch of kids underfoot for even a very short period of time isn't my idea of a good time to begin with.
I wonder how much they had to bribe the older kids and drag them all away from their phones, tablets, TV, etc., to play those corny old-fashioned games?
What a trainwreck...

Kudos on the "skin tone" match with the troll! Almost as orange.

Anybody remember the fries that KFC used to sell back in the 70's? They were crinkle fries and were crisp on the outside and melt-in-your-mouth on the inside. The seasoning was the same as used on the chicken. My friend and I used to go several afternoons a week after high school and get snack boxes of chicken thighs and fries, No wonder I gained weight in high school! KFC also had those "Little Bucket" parfait desserts. I liked the strawberry shortcake one the best.
I also miss Apple Beer (non-alcoholic.)
Did Swanson discontinue it's beef pot pies? I haven't seen them in local stores for ages. I liked those for comfort food -- even now!

.. ugh. my grandma loved vienna sausage. omg.
So did mine. (double ugh) She also liked Wyler's instant lemonade. I don't recall her ever actually cooking anything for us.

I believe that suspenders would make a nice finishing touch. I could see Kim doing that to enhance her boobs for side-angle views.

I saw this and noticed how condescending Giada was to her Uncle Buzz while he was making his pizzas. It has really hit home to me how self-absorbed she is and has to be the center of attention 100% of the time. I clapped at the end when Buzz was grumbling how he didn't like Giada's "French" rolling pin.
Me thinks it's about time for her to give up the weekly show and focus on her RESTAURANT and just do the occasional FN appearance. I used to be a big fan because I liked her recipes, but the ones in the last few seasons have left much to be desired and I find Giada to be insufferable.

i did a little snooping and found Nancy's website. Turns out that ol' David is hubby number FOUR!!
Also, the Fullers or Ginsbergs or whatever they go by, actually own "Farmer Fred's Farm." Farmer Fred and Co. lease it.
Finally.... she has "Chop, Chop in the Pot," TRADEMARKED!! BWAHH!! How about, "Glug, Glug, Down the Jug" with her GIGi Juice.

In that outfit, Kim looks like a men's room attendant in some seedy hotel. I noticed that the article didn't reference any designer responsible for that hot mess. Perhaps s/he was too embarrassed. Those pants weren't "fashionably long." They were too long period. The wrinkles around the crotch and thighs were evident that the pants were also too tight. Not sure how too tight and too long can occur at the same time, but Kim managed to pull it off. FAIL!

I kept rewinding and laughing at the dumbfounded expressions on Hope's face as she was struggling to process was Quinn was laying on her. Some people are just too unbelievably stupid to exist. Hope is one of them.

Wow, Marc doesn't care for Carnie very much, does he? I'd love to see Laila take down that mouthy chef FTW.

That outfit looks like one of those vinyl storage bags that you deflate with a vacuum cleaner.
I'm suppressing a laugh anticipating Kim turning up in some hybrid of it. Can you imagine?

That is a great book. I read it this past Spring. I highly recommend it.

Season two debuted today and unfortunately, not much has changed. I hate to sound mean, but Nancy looks like she's gained quite a bit of weight. I guess that's a testament to her cooking. Also, the halting.. loud... delivery is... worse... than... ever.
Aunt Jenny, the habitual gambler from Las Vegas, returned today. Now we are all know that 'ol Jenny used to stir up food fights at the childhood dinner table. Fiesty!
One thing I did notice was that any references to alcohol were toned way down. Nancy made a point to note that the shrub didn't contain any alcohol. I think that she referred to the beer she used to make the batter for the fish as "GiGi Juice," but she stopped before she predictably ventured on to taking a big swig out of the bottle.
It was interesting to learn about shrub and how it's made. I'd never heard of it. I'd like to try some.
There was a lot of emphasis on "fresh" today. The food looked pretty good, but I had just finished watching Rachel Khoo and a vendor from a London food truck make fish and chips and then Lorraine Pascal and a London food truck vendor make fish sandwiches and chips. So, I wasn't too interested in Nancy's.
Regarding the ginger trifle in Mason jars. (I hate that trend.) It was just layers of whipped cream and gingersnaps. I thought trifle was supposed to have some kind of fruit component in it like macerated fruit or jam. I guess that was the purpose of the shrub, as it contained pears???

Hell, that boxed stuff doesn't even take 10 minutes to make. Yes, I think you should go for both your own show AND cookbook!

Stacy London would be a good choice to fill the role of somebody with real fashion cred. She was getting pretty snarky during that final season of "What Not to Wear."

or Kim, for that matter.

Does she ever say anything tastes like anything except lemon, licorice or sweet? I can't think of any other descriptions she has ever used.
Warm is another favorite and she was hitting heavy on it today. I also caught the description of cumin as "citrusy." So, the title of this thread has come close to hitting the self-fulfilling prophecy mark.
There was another "Jade approved" ingredient. I think it was snapper.
Sorry, but that interpretation Bananas Foster completely missed the mark. Just call it what it is, sauteed bananas in caramel sauce.
So far, this latest season has been a real dud. The recipes are lackluster and Giada seems bored; like she's rushing through the show. Probably will continue until the novelty of the Vegas eaterie wears off.

In the very last photo, her ass looks like a pumpkin.

That outfit was ridiculous. That wrapped fabric overlay hit her right at the widest part of her body and just make her hips look even bigger. I like the new twist on the vacant expression -- this time with the head tilt.

They seem like a bunch of strangers forced to sit together in the dining room on a cruise ship rather than a super close, wholesome family. Their interactions are just so incredibly awkward, I'm like, do these people even know each other?!
This was really apparent today. It seems like all they do is talk about food and how hungry they are or throw around the football.
ANOTHER 16-minute meal show? GAHHHHH!!!!! Why that particular interval of time?
I see the "Not-So-Little Drummond Boy" is back at it with the gushing over the food. "Amazing" and "Best Meal Ever." This for shells in melted Velveeta.

I was going through some long-forgotten recipes the other day and found an old favorite cookie recipe. It was from a Chicago Tribune that I picked up in 1992 on a business trip. It's for cookies that are light chocolate (you use only 1 oz. for the entire batch) with oats (I like them in this particular cookie!) white chocolate chips, macadamia nuts and dried apricots.
Sounds like a good autumn snack... and "healthy" too. ;)

We had Chef-Boy-R-Dee pizza when I was growing up. Every once in a while, I will pick up a box.
Today I was grocery shopping and browsing at the cheese case and saw some Provel. It was packaged in clear plastic deli containers and the label was hand-written, so I have no idea as to its origin. Sorry, but I wasn't tempted to buy any or inquire further about it. :)

Speaking of hovering, what is Maya's job beside modeling? How is it that she's free to creep around the FC offices getting up in everyone's business?
Well, somebody has to pick up the slack now that Taylor isn't around.
The Ghosting that Ridge is doing to Caroline has moved firmly into Creepy Town.
Amen to that. He very much gives off a perve/sexual predator vibe. I imagine he smells like a combo of a smoky beer joint/a fry cook after a 14-hour shift. Sludge:Brain bleach please!
I wanted to just smack the prissy-ass shit out of Hope today when she was interrogating Ivy. Smug, whiny, JEALOUS little bitch, I tell ya. I want them to get into a full-out, knock-down drag-out cat fight and yank each others extensions out.
Liam. Liam. Liam.... Poor befuddled guy reminds me of a bobblehead by the way his neck swivels back and forth and his eyes dart about. So Wyatt is trying to pull a SWF??

B&B: What's Up Today at Forrester Creations? - Daily Chat
in The Bold And The Beautiful
I found today's show to be side-splitting funny! Those scenes with Liam and Hope were so bad they were almost good. Sobbing their little hearts out... I've been watching some of the older episodes on YT and you never saw original recipe Ridge cry like a little girl. Nick, either. I think he might have squeezed out a tear when baby Nicole died.
The funniest line of all was when Hope wailed to the heavens, "It's an even greater force!" I so much wanted to see the set black out and a spaceship land with a full troop of aliens departing.
Even my cat yawned when I asked her if she felt sorry for Sad Waffles...
