Has anyone heard anything recently about how Shirley Chung is doing?

Keebler elves, you think? 😉 Best description ever. That tower was fugly. You beat me to it. 😂 2.5 hours or whatever it was is a totally insane timeline for a cheesecake challenge.

I thought I had not watched this because I did not remember it. Went back to it last night and realized that I did watch it, it's just that it put me to sleep. That is how engaged I was with the dumb Minecraft tie-in. Don't care about the game, don't care about the movie, I'm here to watch talented people make pretty desserts. Where's my cane to shake?

Didn't say I agree with him; I was just trying to figure out what the association was he was making.

The one I suggested also has some nonstick properties so it scoops easier, FYI.

Beatrice can go home yesterday. Have all the seats, sweetie.

You comment about chowing down on a sleeve of Ritz made me laugh. I am also Team Antonia but would be happy with Jet. I heard the same thing and was aghast. The interwebs inform me: "While not botanically related, sassafras and okra are both significant ingredients in Creole and Cajun cuisine, with sassafras leaves (ground into filé powder) often used as a substitute for okra as a thickening agent in dishes like gumbo. " So maybe that's where he was going with that?

I bought two of these very deep boxes and I put less than an inch deep of litter into each of them them (and scoop twice a day--three cats). We had some consultation with a cat behaviorist a few years back when one of our oldsters decided that litter boxes were no place to poop because they stopped manufacturing her favorite litter brand. Putting less litter in was one of the behaviorist's recommendations.

What is the name of the youngest contestant with the sing-song voice on, I think, Gordon's team? She was getting on my last nerve this latest episode. And her pink eyeshadow is unattractive.

I really liked Ying and I am sad she did not get to continue. (And I also hate Mimi's Smokey the Bear hat).

Is the second guy from the left Jed? He really looks like Josh. That is not a compliment.

I have a soft spot for Chris Cosentino because he's a Bay Area guy and very talented, even though I am also not a huge fan of offal (but I'd eat it if he made it). Also, he made the decision for his own mental health to walk away from FN for a while after he was pretty prominent (he was on that show with Aaron Sanchez about spicy food where we learned that Aaron is a huge spice wimp, e,g,) and I respect that. I assume he is back here on his own terms.

No details, unfortunately. Here's a gift link to the interview: https://www.nytimes.com/2025/03/04/well/dr-pimple-popper-profile-sandra-lee.html?unlocked_article_code=1.3E4.HX-z.Isqp1spiRQI1&smid=url-share

I read an interview this past week (NYT) that says Dr. Lee's Lifetime show starts in April.

I am guessing the lack of posts on last night's episode meant others found it as boring as I did. I had to watch it on Hulu today after it started late and my DVR cut it off--guessing in Eastern time it might have been preempted. You did not miss much.
