I do. I'll even spring for tenderloin if I can afford it. I just like it better if I don't have to cook the beef as much as it would take to make a cheaper cut tender. I'm really a medium rare gal all the way and stroganoff is a treat meal that I don't mind splurging on. Edited because medium rate is definitely not medium rare. Oops.

I knew it. Why am I still hate-watching this show?

Being an ass is what Scott does best.

Oh, for fuck's sake. A backyard skate park? Give me a break.

I know of no rumors concerning Robert Irvine but he creeps me out big time. Can't watch him at all.

I want that kale salad. OMG it sounds great.

After growing up on Vernor's ginger ale, both Seagram's and Canada Dry seem horribly tasteless to me. I don't drink a lot of pop - I'm not terribly fond of sweet beverages - but when I do it's Vernor's or A&W root beer. Coke edges out Pepsi in the cola wars. Was surprised anyone else had heard of Faygo to list it in the survey -- I'm sensing a seekrit Detroiter. :) I like carbonation but not the sweet so much as I said so my usual choice is unsweetened, flavored sparking waters.

Almond are my absolute favorite, especially around Easter when it seems like they're fresher and the almonds are beautifully roasted crunchy goodness. Dark chocolate would be a close second.

I like the Savannah Smiles too and I really miss the Lemon Pastry Cremes; those were so good.

Not at all. The shortbread however....

*whispers* I hate Thin Mints. Why kind of ex-Girl Scout does that make me?

Sartori is my favorite Wisconsin artisanal cheesemaker. Try their Asiago with Rosemary. So so good.

Manchego with fig preserves is a great appetizer pairing. To die for.

I gave it two weeks but I just can't with this show. It seems over-acted, overly producer manipulated and I dislike everyone. I'm also sick of the Choppedization of all FN competitions. God forbid they just cook; they have to do it with weird shit. So done. GBBO has spoiled me, I guess.

Wow, Scott Conant commenting on anyone else's humility is rather stunning. God, I loathe him.

Asha's theme was Nefertiti in Harlem.

Already too much Helen for my liking. :(

Can I offer you some rum with that Coke, Ketzel? :)

Dima is a diminutive for Dmitry in Russian, like Bob is a diminutive for Robert.

Chef Blythe, please get yourself to an ENT. Your voice sounds like something serious is going on.
