    S08.E02: Double Dating Duggars

    in 19 Kids And Counting [V]

    When Michelle sat down to learn how to play chess with one of her sons (cannot keep up with the names...J-something ;>) she said something like "usually I'm expecting but now that I'm not, altho' I wish I were, I need to spend some time with my son".  Really?  First of all, it would be a miracle if her uturus hasn't fallen out after delivering 19 babies and this woman still wants another child?  I thought about that and came to the conclusion that Michelle being pregnant is probably a major turn-on for Jim Bob (as if he needed anything to turn him on; someone needs to put saltpeter in his food each day)...and she enjoys having that kind of power over him.  This episode is the first I've watched in quite a while (just couldn't take it any longer--needed a break) so I was surprised to see the girls' skirts even shorter (and no longer the dark denim material--progress!)

    Original Flavor Season Talk: Dinner at Rodbell's

    in Roseanne [V]

    @Bastet:  It is odd because I don't enjoy Halloween either (Mr. P914 has to open the door for the kids now that he's no longer traveling for work...it bugs me!)  The early Halloween episodes were the best (just as, IMO, the early years of this show were the best & the re-runs I enjoy watching--back when Roseanne had short hair).

    Original Flavor Season Talk: Dinner at Rodbell's

    in Roseanne [V]

    When it comes to re-runs, about the only time I really make sure to catch Roseanne is around Halloween season.  Their Halloween episodes were always hilarious (I especially enjoyed Dan's costume one year when he had the head of...was it one of the Stooges...attached to his shoulder and he had constant reparte with it).

    Making Ina's Recipes at Home: How Easy is That?

    in Barefoot Contessa

    Ina's Chicken Salad Veronique is great (I always add extra grapes and toss in some walnuts).  The chicken salad calls for chopped fresh tarragon leaves but I use fresh lemon thyme or omit it.  Arugula, Watermelon & Feta Salad with slivers of fresh mint is soooo refreshing!  And I could drink the citrus vinaigrette :>)  Her Shrimp Salad is wonderful. And her Lobster & Shells (I use shrimp instead of lobster) is delicious...love the fresh corn kernels hiding inside the shells.

    All Episodes Talk: It's a Show About Nothing

    in Seinfeld [V]

    I read an interview of Jason in which he mentioned sitting around the table, reading the next show's script.  He found something totally unbelievable and said, "This doesn't happen in real life" and Larry David looked at him and said "It happened to me".  I believe it!  When I'm watching some of the shows, I wonder if one of the outrageous, incredible events in the episode truly happened to LD.

    Making Ina's Recipes at Home: How Easy is That?

    Ina's Cape Cod Salad is good but I omit the bacon.  The first time I made it I used the bacon & found the flavor to be odd with the other ingredients. It stood out too much.  The dressing is delicious.

    When I make Ina's Broccoli & Pasta, I use mini penne instead of bowtie (I find bowtie too doughy). This dish was a bit dry the first time I made it so now I save a little of the cooking water to add to the mixture.  I don't use much salt (ya hear that, Ina?)

    I really like her Parmesan Chicken (in which you place salad greens on top of each cooked chicken breast - love doing that!).  There are three dippings for the chicken breasts.  I add a little garlic powder to the flour (first dip) and to the breadcrumbs/parmesan (final dip).  Maybe we like our food seasoned a bit more than most folks but I find myself grabbing various spices, herbs all the time while cooking.

    Past Episodes: Chicken 100 Ways, Jeffrey, and Hampton Elite

    But she puts things in STERLING SILVER bowls when it's just her and Jeffery for Friday night chicken.

     

    There you go!  Thanks, Aquarius - I believe that's the underlying theme of our disgruntlement (that's a word, right?) with The Charity Auction lunch.  She certainly provided a nice meal in her home for Mr. & Mrs. Whalepants (and the camera crew lovingly showed us, twice, the gorgeous Whalepants summer home too - those folks got their money's worth in many ways).

    @Bastet:  Very good rule!  Interestingly enough, I recently made Ina's Roasted Shrimp and Orzo.  It was quite bland (ok, I did cut back on her salt requirement but that shouldn't have really made it so blah) so I added some garlic powder and a few other things.  I'll make it again but not in the near future.  Much prefer my version of her Lobster and Shells (mine is Shrimp & Shells - so addictive!)
