It’s a construction zone, not necessarily “poverty”. Oh, and mom, you are a snob.

I don’t know if her dad speaks Samoan, but I wish he’d yell at Asuelu in it, as he would say some choice stuff that may or may not get translated.

I went to Mexico and ate at Chili’s. in my defence, it was across the street from the bus station, and we were hungry and tired.

Terri McMillan wrote a book about it (How Stella go her Groove Back). Didn’t end well for her IRL.

My TV channel (CTV in Canada) was advertising a new episode for Tuesday, July 14. We had a repeat last night too.

That’s how the chaiwalas (chai sellers) normally sell it. From what I understand, you’d drink it down, like a tea shot, then head on your way.

Come to Vancouver, we’ve had nothing but rain (though we had a sunny weekend!) Stay cool!

Kicking him out is the best birth control. 100% effective.

I think he means a job in the US.

Hi all! I just received an Instagram message from some guy in Nigeria. I’m tempted to reply to him, for”research” purposes as a gift for all my fellow snarkers.

Thank you @akr for posting the link to the recipe. I just made it, and it is spectacular! It is possibly the best tiramisu that I have ever had. And, it doesn’t make a huge amount, so I don’t have to feel as guilty not sharing It with anyone.

He said half white, half sexy. Either way, it’s eye rolling and cringe inducing.

I unliked your post, so that I could like it again. I’m feeling like It should be called World of Tricks. I love a well-placed “wow” moment, but the constant reliance on what seem like potentially career ending tricks cheapens the show for me. I love dance. Dance brings me life. This show is increasingly not.

Those flowers are beautiful.

Ooh, non stereotypical “India” music! edit: I stand corrected.

I'd be right beside you! There is so much amazing dance in the world, and it's sad that all we see are the same few styles.

We have an very popular restaurant where I live, called Kissa Tanto, that is a fusion of Japanese and Italian. I haven't eaten there yet, as I can't get in. Melissa's menus sounded absolutely fabulous. Thank you @akr for posting the recipe for the tiramisu. I have some milk tea at home that I was going to use for another recipe, so I know what I'm going to make next weekend to celebrate the end of the school year! Thanks to everyone who posted about WWHL. Living in Canada, we dont' get the US Bravo channel coincidentally watch Top Chef on Food Network Canada, so I rely on all of you to let me know what happens. This was a wonderful ending to a wonderful season. I wish all cheftestants the best with restaurants being able to open again sometime. There was so much talent amongst all the chefs, and it was bittersweet to watch, knowing that they aren't going home to share it with customers right now.

The Canadian version is only an hour (must be the exchange rate), so I’m not going to spoil for the American viewers. The judges must have deliberated for a long time. What a wonderful finale!

Even though I’ll be happy no matter who wins (with an edge to Melissa), I’m still so nervous!

I read an article somewhere that said they finished in March, just before everything closed up.

Their dance style is tutting, in which the hand/arm movements are the focus of the dance. We rarely see tutting solely as a dance form on TV--usually it's smaller bits of tutting inserted into other choreography.

As a Canadian, he will always be the “My Secret Identity” kid

Though, I wouldn’t mind having Target back (ok, they did a crappy job when they were here the first time, but I’d give them a second chance). I don’t miss Target enough to invade, but enough to send an angry letter or tweet.

Hi all! I only started watching a year ago, so some of these couples are new to me. I’m here for it, though!

I’m really looking forward to the finale, as I’ll be happy with any of the cheftestants as the winner. Gail’s dress reminded me of the peacock outside.
