Cordelia: I get it now. You're all spies. Probably all Russian. And you've brainwashed me, and want me to believe we're friends so I'll spill the beans about some nano-technology thingy that you want. Gunn: So I look Russian to you? Cordelia: Black Russian. Angel: That's a drink.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.

Survivor-- Oh My God, it was Immunity Idol heaven tonight! Loved Bob keeping his iimmunity and Sugar giving hers away. Fabulous! and nicely dramatic. Poor skinny Kenny is hoist by his own machinations, pretty much.

One question--why is Suzie still there? She is flying so far below the radar that she isn't even off the ground.

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, that was a delightful TC. So much fun. I love all the machinations that have been going on. And I love Sugar more every week - turning the whole thing around on Kenny and Crystal like that. Plus I loved her little "let me do the thinking" to Matty, especially since each and every one of them have been so incredibly blind about her.

Oh! And on that blog, one of the commenters noted that fish sauce was listed as an ingredient in the curry and that it was what Eugene guessed and was eliminated for. Is that so? I already deleted the ep so I can't check.

He guessed fish sauce on the shrimp/lobster thing, not the curry.

I was surprised too that there wasn't more one-upping on that, especially given how many gimme ingredients there had to have been. I mean, the ingredients in a thai curry are not exactly unknowns. And come on - salt, oil, etc.?

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

Frankly, regardless of what else he did, I think Daniel should have gone home for the fact that he messed with Carla's dish without telling her.

THIS. Even if his intentions were good, he wound up sabotaging her dish! WTF, Daniel??

To understand what happened at the diner, we shall use Mr. Papaya! This is upsetting because he's the friendliest of fruits.

THIS. Even if his intentions were good, he wound up sabotaging her dish! WTF, Daniel??

I think the object lesson of this episode, aside from "jealousy makes for hilarious screen takes," is that people need to speak up: Carla had to voice objections to her teammates, and Jamie and Radhika needed to speak up about how their team's dishes actually came together.

Art Crawl!!!

Yes.

You know even if it was Jamie's ingredient it was Radhika's marinade - she should have been given (or should have taken) more credit.

Punishingly Intricate

Jamie's spice mix is called "vadouvan."

Thanks! I knew you'd come through, Megan.

You know even if it was Jamie's ingredient it was Radhika's marinade - she should have been given (or should have taken) more credit.

I thought the vadouvan was in the carrots not the marinade.

Regardless of who did what, I want that dish for my lunch!!!

Vadouvan! Fascinating!

Evidently there was a recipe for it in a summer issue of Gourmet this year.

I think it may have been in both.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

I read a comment somewhere else saying that vadouvan is this year's ras al hanout.

Heh.
