Crab stock can be very economical and also allows for full use of the animal. It can be made by finely straining the liquid left behind after a crab boil, or by boiling the nearly picked clean shells after steaming the crabs. Sealed tightly, it freezes great. Still…in guacamole? A couple of years ago, I saw Alex guarnaschelli say that she likes guacamole with red wine vinegar as the acid rather that citrus juice. We tried it the next day, and it was fabulous. Just add a little salt and powdered garlic.

Ryan??? What did he do/say?

And when Yogesh stepped forward between the podiums…what the fuck??? I thought he was about to give a speech in the manner of “Old Yogesh”, or maybe a tap dancing send-off. I would have loved for Ken to have addressed Y’s assheadedness at every opportunity, in his special low-key, slightly snide charming manner.

He certainly isn’t part of the control group.

It was “undertoad” in my living room, as well.

Everything you said!!

But how do you REALLY feel!? Actually, I agree on every point, and then some.

I had to smirk each time the would speak of her children being such inveterate adventurers. I have a feeling that her idea of adventuring is for the kids to venture onto the front porch without a half dozen neatly folded tissues in their pockets.

It makes me think of a humorous old promo-spot that Christiane Amanpour did 15 years ago, or so. She was giving a newbie the lay of the land of her supposed new job. The word ‘Iran’ came up and the newbie mispronounced it as ‘eye-ran’. After correcting her a few times CA said something along the lines of “it’s not “I ran a mile. No”. I figure she would know, so that’s how I remember which one is correct, after a lifetime of saying and hearing it said both ways.

She did look like she enjoyed herself, and her voice is made for voiceover work, (in the best way).

I predict he moves in to the big house with Chuck.

Harry blindsided me. It’s unfair to me, as well.

I kinda think he’s heading to see Amy. Or maybe he’s thinking he’ll meet up with his BIL(can’t think of his name at the moment) to celebrate. I don’t think he’ll go to Vegas. I do like Gus, and hope he’s on even more. I can’t wait to see it.

You did it!!

I went far afield and said Beauty and the Beast. I couldn’t recall if Mrs Potts narrated or not, and I know the story itself far-predates the 90’s. Still it’s all I had. I’ve seen neither Titanic nor Ghost, and I don’t recall the other pick. Would I have gotten the sewer had I seen Ghost? Probably not. Mrs Potts left an impression, apparently,
