and didn't she get dinged for not enough flavor in her cake? Serves her right. The hair flipping is SO annoying.

Now that I have watched the second episode, the carolers were much worse than I expected.

So I gather they had two episodes last night? I kept thinking "WHAT CAROLERS?" I wish Courtney with her little girl voice and hair flipping went away. And Megan continues to annoy me. She certainly knows where the camera is and what expression to use for it. I'll have to watch the second one now.

I don't find that. Since I'm typically making banana bread, I let it thaw a bit and the peel comes right off.

yes people keep telling me that he is famous. (I was too young to see the MASH movie). I am still allowed to say I think he's awful in this role.

You have to remember that this is a British show. I think profiteroles were more of a European thing. Same with Banoffee pie- more British, not so American.

yeah, me too! I'm mostly familiar with profiteroles from a conference trip I made to Paris in 1986, and a profiterole with chocolate sauce and ice cream seemed to be the go-to dessert on every prix fix menu where I ate (on a limited grad student budget). But yeah, never in a tower LOL.

I think he meant garish in a *good* way! The 70s were garish! It's a thing among the young'uns. I looked it up. https://www.eyeadorethreading.com/master-the-eyebrow-slit-a-step-by-step-guide-to-edgy-brows/

At least two from Blue Lights in the second episode, right? Her fellow female constable was that internal investigator, and the husband of the victim was a senior cop in both seasons (though in two different positions). I joke to my husband that there seem to be only 100 different actors in detective shows in the UK/Ireland

oh i noticed that as well. Thank you for coming up with the word he presumably meant! Ah, don't be too mean. When I was a tween we moved into a new house (early 70s) and I got to choose the colors of my bedroom. It already had pink carpet, so chose exactly that color green for the walls. Hey, it was a thing!

The five remaining bakers hop into the time machine to create '70s favorites including profiterole stacks, banoffee pies and elaborate gâteau. I chuckled a bit when Prue said that the technical (Banoffee Pie) was something they would all, of course, be familiar with. As an American, I (vaguely) know what it is, mostly that bananas are somehow involved, but even though I was quite alive in the 70s, I have never seen, much less eaten one. Again, Paul with his skepticism of "unusual" flavor combinations. Mint chocolate chip? All I can say that when I was a college student starting in 1979, we all were super excited when that was a flavor in the ice cream freezer in the dining hall!

I just finished Blue Lights (Britbox) and really enjoyed both seasons (I binged). Apparently it's been renewed for two more seasons.

as someone who hates waste, I'm really opposed to these challenges where they spend time and ingredients on something that won't be eaten. Such as those cute little marzipan pumpkins. On the GBBS airing now, they did some beautiful fall (oops autumn) tarts with elaborate top crusts. They were meant to be eaten!

So Karen apparently got away with leaving the foil inside her cornucopia. But one of the judges (Carla I think) mentioned that it tasted good. Wouldn't breaking off a piece show what the deal was? Besides, how on EARTH did she expect to get the foil out -- it was curled up inside!

did you see Nancy twist it open? It had no filling inside because he did it in a dumb a$$ way. You have to put the filling between the cookies! Not just fill it in the eyes and mouth holes.
