Gilmore Girls in the Media

[Miss Anne Thrope]

I'd pick up Sookie's cookbook for the entertainment value and beloved moments pictures, but not necessarily as a bona fide cookbook. If it's written in Sookie's voice, I'd likely go nuts trying to follow the recipe. For example,  

2 and 1/4 cups (280g) all-purpose flour (spooned & leveled)

1 teaspoon baking soda

1 and 1/2 teaspoons cornstarch*

1/2 teaspoon ... It’s that tart, kind of spicy, white - SALT! The word is ‘salt’!

I'll never forgive her for her deviled eggs recipe.

I’ve just googled for recipes by Sookie, and found this blog: https://www.eatinggilmore.com/post/deviled-eggs-four-ways-3-06-take-the-deviled-eggs

I know that I looked through the cookbook, at a bookstore, but can’t remember a thing about it.

Nice, thanks for sharing!  Some of the stuff looks actually do-able with my meager skills.  Gotta try the Founder's Day Punch for sure, and I think the Bananas Foster Waffles may haunt me forever.

What a fun site! I've bookmarked it so I can check it out in full later.

TIL the exterior of the house from The Waltons (1972) was used in Gilmore Girls to represent The Dragonfly Inn. The house was taken from its original filming location and placed on a different set for Gilmore Girls.

I loved that they reused it for the Dragonfly. I love when they reuse sets like that.

You're probably no old enough to remember when they re-used the Cleaver home from Leave it to Beaver as the front of Dr. Welby's house,

Yeah I don't remember that.

I never watched Welby. I assume they used the second Cleaver house and not the first?

Correct.

I saw in the paper today that Kelly Bishop has a memoir on the Best Seller List - The Third Gilmore Girl: A Memoir. It's piqued my interest.

Not sure how I feel about this, but it says something that 17 years after it went off the air, and 8 years after the Netflix revival, Gilmore Girls still is big enough to have the cast appear as their characters in a commercial for a major retailer. 

They also did an ambient room for Luke's.

Those Walmart ads make me smile. Heck, GG has shown up on Jeopardy!

It's a great show.

Scott Patterson talks about this on his podcast this week.

Is this the Walmart that Jess worked at?

Lauren Graham plays the adult Beth in Best Little Christmas Pageant Ever.  Just a bit part at the end and her voice sounded quite different to me but I recognized her right away.
