My dentist told me I needed a crown. I was like, I KNOW, RIGHT?

I can hear his bewildered boss right now, "George?"

I know one thing--I'm ready for a long weekend of figure skating. Hope everyone has their best skate ever & that they all stay healthy for Worlds!

I lived in the south for too many years. I ignored the have a blessed day stuff (just smiled my "thanks") and went on my way. It can be quite a closed place (e.g., southerners not interested in getting to know people from other parts of the country). So glad to be living in a place where no one cares about my accent & doesn't care where I grew up. I did meet some wonderful people there (which is why Designing Women felt so familiar to me) but I'm glad to be further north again.

Chris Matthews was way past his retirement date but kept working until he was forced to leave. That's not going to happen to Andrea Mitchell but I have to wonder why these news media folks insist on continuing to work despite being over 65. Over at PBS, Judy Woodruff has had some moments (recently she had a weird coughing spell and they finally went to a different story--they didn't get back to her that night). Those are hard jobs, jumping from one topic to another, interviews, needing to remember names, date of events, the latest information, etc. I've noticed it's tough enough on the younger anchors/hosts.

That's hilarious! Almost as amusing as shhmoorgisborg (well, to some of us Swedish-Americans).

I'm not a long time viewer so what's been going on with Jeff & Geoff?

It's not the minutes spent at the table that put on weight, it's the seconds. Entered what I ate today into my new fitness app and it just sent an ambulance to my house.

Heh heh...she's now middle age. But she's a great mom to our grandson and successful in her profession. And she likes her stepmother (hey - that's a biggie!!!)

Michelle was very talented but she had Lori Nichols whose taste in music and genius with choreography boosted Kwan's presentation scores and appeal. After she left Lori (I can't remember who she went to...it was a former skater...Sara K..?), that specialness, IMO, was almost gone. It must've been Lori who taught Michelle all those theatrical gestures, the beautiful use of her hands, facial expressions, etc., that were so memorable and went with her music.

I can't handle "like". My articulate, kind, sweet stepdaughter uses it ALL the time and it drives me crazy. She grew up in the San Fernando Valley, though. Wasn't that where Valley Talk started?

I turned off the TV just before Sunny's segment started. Frozen pizza does not belong on a cooking show.

Beef stew and mashed potatoes.

I didn't know Deanna Stellato was skating for Canada now. She & her partner, Maxime Deschamp, placed third at the Skate Canada Challenge, a qualifying event for nationals.

I wish I could "like" this a gazillion times!

Those Blue Apron meals really do sound delicious. I enjoy cooking but not every night. We do delivery once a week (last night was Chinese--I have them tone down the heat in their Chicken Curry!) But maybe if places like Blue Apron or Hello Fresh have a once a week plan, that might work well for me.

I woke up at the crack of dawn the other day & decided to see what's on TV at such a miserable time of day. Wow! Kasie looks fabulous...very sleek. No pageant hair, no sundress (not that she ever sported such a look). Sounds like they're still having fun being on so early--she asked viewers, near the end of the show, why they're watching so early in the morning. Hopefully, when her baby is a bit older, Kasie will be able to return to her KC DC show.

Yeah...we saw him on tonight's broadcast. I was really hoping it would be Ruth Marcus.

Summer Spaghetti... prepared the "sauce" this morning before going out.

So maybe she shouldn't be cooking outside in weather that's cold enough to see one's breath.

Y'know, I saw that pretty ring and wondered if it were "the" ring. Good!

If Alex is a know it all, so is GZ (who comes across as arrogant--he's been tossing around cheffy lingo lately). But they're excellent chefs & I enjoy watching them cook.

I wonder why FN brought them back into the studio. Even though they were not close to each other, it still was risky (and sets a crappy example). And, it was totally unnecessary. The segments taped in their homes the past year were very entertaining and IMO, much better at showing how to prepare recipes.

Gosh, I haven't been here in a while. Today I tried watching her show as it comes on right before The Kitchen (which is a show that should maintain the separation of the cooks/chefs). But that nonstop smiling makes me grind my teeth. I read somewhere that her fans are complaining about that never-ending smile and her excuse is that she's trying to hide jowls. Uh-hunh. She can well afford a plastic surgeon to fix those jowls. I think she's trying to be another grinning Giada. The frittata she made today, with the dollop of sour cream on top, looked good, though.

Well, three of them are back in the studio kitchen. Sunny and Katie are working at home (smart, IMO). So, I turned the volume waayyyyy down for Jeff's and Sunny's presentations and it was bearable. Re: the food? I'm going to make Katie's eggplant "boats". That melted cheese looked so good. I liked GZ's pork tenderloin slices with the diced turnip. Alex's salad of greens and how she layered the flavors (I loved the walnuts) and how she put honey at the bottom of the dish makes me want to try it. Good show, but not as appealing as when they're all working at home.
