And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

UNTIL she whipped out the pie filling, oh my god.

Sandra Lee is ALL about the repurposed pie filling.

I die a little inside whenever I remember she's a CIA graduate.

LeN, now you understand. I can understand why people would have issues with Paula (personally, I love her) but she does actually cook. Sandra Lee is a ghoul and a drunk (she was the first person who started having a specialty cocktail for every show) Frankly, I think that half of her recipes are more work/time/expense than just doing it the old fashioned way.

Yeah, see I love Paula. She's over the top and I wouldn't make 90% of her recipes, but she's cool people to me. I just figured people were cranks.

Sandra Lee on the other hand is malicious. She needs to have her show pulled if it hasn't been already.

I think you're being extremely generous.

Only if she starts making outrageous salary demands. Sadly. We can pray though.

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb

I used to kinda like Andrew Cuomo.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Given that I don't actually know anything about any of them personally, I still think it's bizarre to be with both Kerry Kennedy and Sandra Lee....

Okay, so I went to Franken's link and I didn't realize that I had mistaken all the years of people capping on Sandra Lee. I thought all this time people were capping on Paula Deen. Suddenly I figured out my mistake when I realized that Andrew Cuomo was not dating Paula Deen!

I did the same thing! Except, in my head Andrew Cuomo = Andrew Giuliani, which made it far more disturbing than my mind was capable of handling.

I did like that the two who most relied on their sous chefs won the highest marks.

I wonder if the fact that they had both been judges factored into that.

well, I did call her a ghoul and a drunk, so I thought it would be too much to say that her recipes were completely disgusting and I wouldn't eat them if I'd been held captive for three years in the congo subsisting on fetid water and the occasional grub.
