I did not realize until this week that there was someone named Ashley on this show.

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.

Not that anyone cares, but the cooking wine is 15% alcohol. So, basically, wine.
Huh! I haven't used it since I turned 21 and could buy the real stuff - it makes no sense to me that it's legal to sell to minors without being de-alcoholized, even with all the crap that's added to make it undrinkable.

If you're going through hell/keep on going/don't slow down/keep your fear from showing/you might be gone/'fore the devil even knows you're there
Yeah, it makes no sense. And they definitely don't treat it like alcohol - here, in the grocery store they have to get a 21+ cashier just to check you out and input your DOB, but they treat this stuff like any condiment.

But moving on to last night's ep - WHO ARE THESE PROFESSIONAL COOKS WHO HAVE NEVER MADE A PIE???
I hated the guest-judge's hair, but I really appreciated him saying at one point "my grandmother's not a chef, but she can make a pie." COME ON CHEFS, PIE IS NOT THAT HARD.

Because books.
It always surprises me, too, Jess. These people have never had a dinner party or family holiday where they made a dessert? It baffles me.

Mmmm - pie.
Although not many of those last night would have made me say that.
Also, I'm curious how that choclate thing was anymore not a pie than a quiche would be (though the chocolate thing looked good).

Quiche is totally a pie. Moreso than the winning cobbler thing, anyway. (Which looked super-yummy, but not very pie-like.)

Cheerios.

More to the point, who are these Top Chef wanna-bes who don't have some sort of dessert up their sleeve given they usually always throw at least one dessert challenge at the guests.

Quiche is totally a pie.
Right, so what was up with the guest judge's comment "It's really more of a quiche than a pie".

Punishingly Intricate

Yes, it was really a chocolate tart but it looked (and evidently was) delicious so it got a pass.
Most of those pies were nutso.
It's so weird these first couple of weeks -- there are people who have gotten basically no air time yet. Like the guy who did the "Puerto Rican" bbq. Where did he come from?
