Damn, but that sounds yummy, Lee. Lucky you.

I forgot to mention that the black cod nigiri had little strips of butternut squash on them.

Ooh, that looks delish.

So, I finalized my SYTYCD DVD for my sister, choosing 20-25 dances from both Seasons 5 & 6. I must say, while I have a few more dances from Season 6 and think the dancers may have been better technically, they just don't thrill me like some of the Season 5 dances.

I don't know if it's the choreography, partners, music, stage, camerawork, or what. Is it just me?

Here's my "best of" baker's dozen from each:

Season 5:
Janette & Brandon’s disco
Randi & Evan’s “Koop Island Blues” contemporary
Kayla & Kūpono’s Twilight contemporary
Jeanine & Phillip’s “Love Lockdown” hip hop
Kayla & Kūpono’s “Gravity” contemporary
Janette & Brandon’s Argentine tango
Janette & Brandon’s Wade Robson jazz
Janette & Ade’s “Love Sex Magic” hip hop
Jeanine & Jason’s Travis Wall contemporary
Jeanine & Brandon’s “Battlefield” Laurie Ann Gibson pop-jazz
Melissa & Ade’s Tyce Diorio contemporary (on breast cancer)
Kayla & Jason’s Shane Sparks zombie hip hop
Jeanine & Brandon’s “Matrix” paso doble

Season 6:
Bianca & Victor’s contemporary
Ellenore & Ryan’s “Arcadia” contemporary jazz
Kathryn & Legacy’s Dave Scott hip-hop
Karen & Kevin’s Nappy Tab hip-hop
Pauline & Peter’s “Starry Night” jazz
Ashleigh & Jakob’s “Relax” jazz
Kathryn & Legacy’s “So Deep” jazz
Ashleigh & Jakob’s “Time Flies” lyrical jazz
Ellenore & Ryan’s “Razzle Dazzle” broadway
Ellenore & Jakob’s “Tore My Heart” contemporary
Mollee & Jakob’s waltz
Ellenore & Legacy’s Mr & Mrs Smith contemporary
Kathryn & Jakob’s finale contemporary

I like a lot of these, I just don't want to watch them over and over, as I can for many of the Season 5 dances.

Would copies of these be available?

ETA: These are just the dances, no intros, no judging, no commercials. It runs just under 2 hours. Also, since they were recorded on EP, I can't guarantee the quality on a fancy TV set.

me, me!

I can provide the DVDs, of course. And maybe cookies, or a shiny shiny nickel!

No need, no need. I have a whole bunch for other taping projects.

Awesome!

It's possible I'm not dating because my DVR is my one true love.
