So this isn’t my favorite sandwich but I do like it and made it today for lunch Sav friend said it sounded weird and gross so in looking for opinions, is it weird? Sliced turkey, cream cheese, lettuce, red onions, and capers on black bread.
Make a few substitutions and you have a classic Lox 'n Bagel. Salmon for turkey, bagel for black bread, lose the lettuce add tomato and there you go.
So not weird imo.

Dr. Pepper, hands down.
For those from Texas you may remember Dublin Dr. Pepper before they were shut down. OMG! So good.

I have this Oxo Good Grips scale and like it very much. The readout panel pulls out if you have a larger container on it. I remember ATK giving it a thumbs up once. I got mine at BB&B using a 20% off coupon.
That's what I have and I love it!
And yes, ATK rated it as the best. Almost everything in my kitchen comes from their equipment reviews. Don't think I've ever been disappointed.

Also, how would Esty be fluent in German?
Esty spoke Yiddish which is a German dialect. If you speak Spanish you can get by in Italy. I suspect this is similar.

Let me start by saying that I know absolutely nothing about the orthodox Jewish community. Nothing I say here should be taken as a comment on that community. But, I can comment on what was presented, and that is all I'm doing here.
Etsy (Shira Haas), was such a sympathetic, endearing, powerful and likable character. I can't recall another female character that has had that effect on me recently, if ever. Every male instinct I have wanted to protect her with all my might. Mock me if you will, call me a Neanderthal or a sexist. I don't care. Any man that denies those instincts is either lying or not a real man. It's how we're wired.
There may have been some plot holes in this story, but at the end of the day it was extremely moving and poignant. This was so much more than a 'coming of age' or a 'finding your own way' story. The fact that it was, to some degree, based on a true story makes it that much more powerful.
The poetry of this story moved the cowboy in this Texas boy.

I wonder if Loop Inc. has a crisis committee. Which employees are missing this week? What random child has shown up at the guard gate? Any injuries that might be attributable to the random stuff we leave scattered all over the place? Ok, meeting adjourned.
Given the total lack of inventory control I'm going to go with no, no they don't have a crisis committee.

Just binged both seasons. I enjoyed it.
I really liked the costumes, the set design and the cinematography. Very lush.
The characters were a bit one dimensional but still good and likable. Specifically the Crown Prince, the Nurse and the 'rebel without a cause'.
The plot was a bit 'see through', if you will, but still the overall arc was enjoyable. I really liked the 'twists' on the zombies. New and interesting.
Where this really lacked was the writing/direction. It was overly melodramatic and sophomoric, at times bordering on silly. They employed every known trope without any sense of irony or shame. Having said that I did like the setup for S03. I'll watch without hesitation.
This is worth a watch, just don't expect anything near TWD.

Watched both seasons of this the other night. If we weren't in the middle of a pandemic and forced to stay home I doubt seriously I would have finished this.
Much of the discussion of food was fun and entertaining. It's the need to inject social commentary and politics that makes me insane.

This one got to me. Actually, the whole series did. How can your heart not ache for Loretta?
Amazing storytelling and film making. The fact that they had some 10 minutes without dialog during the flashback showing time progressing as Cole was away, and I was captivated, is truly remarkable.
The score was sublime.
One of the best things I've seen in quite sometime of any genre.
I don't think there's any way they can live up to S1 if they do another one, but I'll be happy to watch if they do.
Outstanding!

What bit George? It looked like a cable out of the lake. Poor robot. Screeching was the only way it could communicate. Nice that George left it his arm. I just wonder how he managed to row back with one arm!
Some kind of water snake I think.
I wonder why on earth he would go back to the island at night? I understand facing your fears, but alone at night? No, no for me thanks.
This show has a way of evoking a wide range of emotions. I find it compelling.

Poignant and bittersweet. A reminder to appreciate what we have and not focus on what we don't.

I suspect that many won't like this episode, but I did.
A look into the psyche of a man overcome with guilt over his son's condition and a (false) sense of responsibility for the safety of his family and his deaf daughter. (Not that he doesn't have a responsibility for the safety of his family, just that's it's not anywhere to the degree that he feels.).
As a man, and the father of a daughter, I can at least understand this while never having experienced anything close to what he has.
Perhaps the thing I liked most about this episode was the fact that it ended on a hopeful note. He realized what was most important in his life and acted accordingly. That doesn't always happen.
So far, I'm impressed with the writing, especially their ability to incorporate technology with the human experience.

Not the best episode so far. Not horrible, but not as good as the others.

When they were having sex in the street the first thought I had was there's a timer on the thermos and time will start again with them in mid coitus. Then I remembered this isn't a comedy.
The story arc of the past two episodes seems to be be careful what you wish for.
Another good episode. I'm hooked.

So very melancholy. A recurring theme so far.
An interesting examination of the consequences of our actions.

I . . . don't get it. Did the little girl travel to the future then back home again? How and why?
My guess, parallel universe, but who knows.
Definitely a 'Dark' feel.
I liked the pacing and am looking forward to see where this goes.

If you're going to put a food gun to my head and make me choose to only have one sandwich, done right, for the rest of my life... It's pretty easy for me to make that decision.
I love a French Dip, Philly Cheese Steak, Tuna salad, Egg salad, Chicken salad, Grilled cheese, Ham and cheese... etc. and so on.
But the ultimate sandwich, for me, is so simple, so sublime and so easy.
The answer is:

You're welcome! 😀

I'm kind of surprised this show came and went so fast. These type of competition shows are usually drawn out so long that I get tired of it. TOC came on fast and boom, it's over.
I doubt they had a choice given the star quality of the contestants. These people aren't able/willing to take 4 weeks off from their other responsibilities. I wouldn't be surprised if this whole thing was shot in 3-5 days.
Like many others I really liked this and am looking forward to S02. The blind judging needs to be used on all shows going forward. In every single battle we can be sure that the judges picked the best plate of food and not their 'good friend'.
I would like to see one small change for the finale. Dump the wheel and let the chefs prepare whatever they wish a la Top Chef.

Probably a 'me too' post here but I have to say it.
S3 is by far the best of the bunch. The pacing was excellent and the twists were great.
Both Jason and Laura were spectacular as Marty and Wendy. The same goes for pretty much the rest of the cast. Wendy's brother Ben was amazing playing a Bi-polar person off his meds and Helen was such a great anti-hero.
If I have one critique it would be to dial back Ruth, just a little bit. That's the only character that I struggle with. Oh, and Darlene too.
Other than that it's almost perfect if we can suspend our disbelief long enough to ignore that none of this is even remotely possible. And well, if you're ok with gravity on the Starship Enterprise, then you should be ok with this.
That said, I won't pretend that I saw the ending coming. I thought that the meeting in Mexico would end in a cliff hanger for S04. Boy was I surprised.
Can't wait for S04!
