Meri is kind of cracking me up in recent episodes. She has lost her "sister wife" filter in her TH segments. I don't know how she keeps from laughing when Kody goes on and on about how much he will miss Meri. I love she says the unvarnished truth - he had 10 years to fix it and it is too late now!

I became a parent at 38 - long after the majority of my friends. I had to apologize to a few of them because I'm sure I gave unsolicited advice that they laughed at behind my back about. At least I hope they laughed at.

He had on a thick glove (it was when they were in the 4-wheelers).

I did enjoy the segment where Christine was talking about parenting all of the kids at once and having almost twins. Of course then I promptly fell asleep so will have to rewatch to see the rest of the show.

I fight chronically low potassium so I think that was why I was advised to eat that maturity of banana.

I was told by a nutritionist that bananas they are just past the green stage are the best to eat - once they get to that really ripe stage they are loaded with sugar. (but don't quote me - I could be getting this all wrong - 4 surgeries in 3 months have made my brain turn to overripe banana mush!)

I guess they are recycling contestants these days - I know I've seen Javier (and of course Jonathan) before. I thought the team that went home's display was underwhelming. There was this giant Santa and this giant snowman but nothing else - the beautiful cookie pine trees were disproportionate too the characters and the characters were so large that they took up all the space.

I do like a good bundt cake (jello molds not so much). I have heard of profiteroles and Banoffee pie now but couldn't have told you what they were until after this show. I didn't even make the connection between Banoffee and banana...LOL!

I'm not sure I ever saw or ate a profiterole in the 70s (and I consider myself a 70s girl - graduated high school in 1976). Maybe they just weren't a big thing in Texas.

I did see Carla eating some of the cornucopia but it looked like a layer peeled (pealed?) from the outside. Perhaps Karent got all the foil out and she had all that fruit stuffed up inside of it to hide the carnage that inevitably took place from pulling the foil out?

Carla actually started the conducting over Megan's pie while talking about how Nancy does the conducting thing.

I love a good peanut butter pie so I'm not mad at Megan (?) winning.

As a single mother who raised a daughter, I always said I would prefer a man who had children and had a great relationship with those children. As far as we have heard David has a wonderful relationship with his children, raised them on his own after the death of his wife, and they all seem to still want to be around him (again, to the extent we've heard and seen). That would mean a lot to me.

All of Christine's kids have seen and known that their biological father was in a sexual relationship with 3 other women besides their mother (well, okay, maybe not Meri). Their whole life has been (to the outside world) inappropriate. I think Christine is laying it on a little thick but hopefully Truely will learn to adapt and the joy and love that so far David and Christine are manifesting will help her become a happy and functional adult who can find a joyous relationship for herself. We can only hope!

Dried cherries sound delicious...and I'm also fond of cranberries.
