    Good gracious, I caught her "over the top" food episode on demand tonight and I have to wonder, what is her target audience now? Stoners? People actively pursuing metabolic disorders? People who wish to leave this world without a natural tooth still rooted in their gums?

    People committing suicide with their knife and fork.

  2. Good question.  It's a uniquely American dish.  I'm Canadian, and we don't have green bean casserole at Thanksgiving.  I tasted it once (oddly enough at a Chinese buffet in Plattsburgh, NY) and it was kinda gross.  I'm sure Ree's recipe was straight off the side of the package of one of the items.  Ain't nothing wrong with that.  Some recipes are awesome, like the cookie recipe on the bag of chocolate chips.  But you don't see chefs pasing this off as an original, or if, like Ina Garten, they use the chocolate cake recipe from the bottle of Hershey's Syrup, they give credit. Integrity is a good quality to have! 

    Mandolia, I watch a lot of imported British cooking shows and I have the same translation problems in reverse.  Even when a chef like Jamie translates gas marks or Celsius into Farenheit, they use weird numbers like 360 degrees.  We'd use 350 or 375.  We're all about the round numbers!  

    It's great to see how many different cultures can all hate-watch Ree and bring different things to the party.

  3. I'm another expat Pounder.  Hah y'all doing? 

    What the actual fuck is the deal with that fugly Lord's Prayer purse?  Emblazoning it on a cheap-ass handbag so people can snark at it is mos def taking the Lord's name in vain.  No good!

     

    Darcey and MaxHeadroom?  I can't even.  Same with Elderly Angela and Guy Who's Younger Than Her Daughter.  

    I was on vacation in the South a few years ago and I enjoyed a Catfish Po Boy.  We have a few of them here - they're being catfished and after spending all their money, boy will they be poor.

    We'll be here all night....

  4. Hah y'all doin?  My eating habit is unsweetened iced tea and a Fiber One brownie.  

    I'm a-skeered that the lip liner look is going to come back into fashion - it's been out of style for a hella long time (excepting Lupe, of course)

  5. So I guess we're all going as JT for Halloween, right?  Now that the mask is available, it would be a shame not to.  Plus, I already have a hoodie.  It's got Lil BUB on the back, and I'm a 62-year-old woman with big boobs who's only 5'3".  But according to GC logic, nobody will be able to tell me apart from the real JT!  I just hope they're not giving out partially-decomposed vertebrae instead of Snickers bars at the Chancellors'.

  6. My 250-Pound Life isn't that compelling of a show.  Although Dr. Now's old-skool rapper outfit was awesome (and a shout-out to the brilliant poster in the Live Chat who gave him the hip-hop name of Lil Now-Now), it wasn't enough to keep my interest.  Especially when the tarpaulin skirt made its umpteenth appearance. So, I switched over to Jamie Oliver.

    One notable comment that Melissa made was that she didn't care if she inspired people who had 200 or 500 pounds to lose.   I know a few people (myself included) who would like to drop around 40 pounds.  I guess she has no inspiration for us.  Oh well.
