I think she just outdid Sandra Lee for the amount of hooch that one could fit into a cocktail. And also in a tribute to Aunt Sandy, we even had a campfire-scape between the tents, cots and wicker furniture hauled down to the freshly mowed, damp meadow in the middle of nowhere. The less said about the hot dogs and melty cones, the better.

So good to see Sebastian Roche on my TV again. He saved General Hospital for me for awhile. The "I am Spartacus" routine was funny, but I kept waiting for the reveal the DOJ lawyer dude was part of the cult.

Not to mention that many colleges have rules about what appliances can and cannot be used in a dorm room/dorms in general. Depending on the school, George Foremans and waffle makers may be banned. And at most colleges, microwaving popcorn is enough to set off a fire alarm. You don't want to be the one that caused the dorm to be evacuated at 3am because you were making waffle maker pizzas. I would have laughed my arse off if Ree's Caesar dressing was made completely from condiment packets snarfed from a dining hall. Admit it, that's the only way most college students will access mayo, hot sauce & S/P. Also, if Ree's daughter is now in a sorority and/or living in a sorority house, do we really think she's making Caesar ala Ziplock? Don't most fancy sorority houses have their own dining staff?

The pita places near my office offer the option of hummus as a spread on their falafel pita, along with the tahini & veggies. It just adds a nice, creamy texture to the mix. As for the chipotle-tahini, just…no.

I was dumbfounded over the mess with Lucky Charms, colored mini marshmallows and almond bark. No words. White chocolate almond bark does not seem like it would be a compatible flavor with froot loops and marshmallows. That part made me shudder in horror. And for what you would spend on the life savers, the sour candy and the sticks, you could just buy the good lollipops and call it a day. Less chance of burns while trying to insert sticks into molten hot sugar, too!

I don't think they did. We usually see them eating the food if it's meant to be eaten. She also made a comment about how hard it is for the cowboys to head home or to town for lunch when they are busy. Is it that hard to have a cooler full of sammiches or other vittles available on one of the 97 trucks they drive around in? I will admit to using Miracle Whip as a salad dressing in a pinch, but never mixed with BBQ sauce and buttermilk.

During the scene with Luke & Lucky after Laura took Not Dead Little Jake off-screen, I kept thinking that this was not Lucky & Luke wandering down memory lane, but really JJ/TG doing it. There was something about the way the two were delivering the lines that it seemed like their own little goodbye to their relationship. I was getting a little verklempt.

I think I got drunk just from watching her make the Bowlerina punch on today's episode. That hash looked good, but wouldn't the sausage dry out by the time the potatoes and tomatoes cooked? As I was watching her make the hash, I kept flashing to Bobby Flay preaching about par-cooking your potatoes when making the dish.

The food at Lloyd is tasty, that's for sure. The Dirty South taco is really as good as the show indicated. On the one hand, these guys have been pretty successful in a short time. They fought City Hall on food truck regulations and won. Their special blend of hot sauce is bottled and sold in local stores (hot sauce was on their display during their pitch, but not mentioned). On the other hand, between this show and the funding of one of of their trucks via Kickstarter, there's been some grumbling that the Lloyd guys looking for "free" money rather than going after loans and other more conventional financing. I'm going to be really interested to see how their brick & mortar location shakes out.

That tenderloin sandwich platter that Ree's SIL made looked really tasty. Give me some of that, the crudite and the cheese and I'd be a happy camper. Drippy, saucy meatballs seem like there would be too much potential for mess throughout that nicely decorated office. I was put off by the jingle bell sound of the Food Network 'holiday tips' bugs. Until I figured out where the bells were coming from, I thought that Ree was using some sort of secret word indicator.
