I read a comment somewhere else saying that vadouvan is this year's ras al hanout.
Jayne: Captain, can you stop her from bein' cheerful, please? Mal: I don't believe there is a power in the 'verse that can stop Kaylee from being cheerful. Sometimes you just wanna duct tape her mouth and dump her in the hold for a month.

Thanks for the link lisah. I never understood the French connection, but now I realize it's because it's from Pondicherry. Of course, now that makes me associate it with Life of Pi.

I printed out the Gourmet recipe for it and am going to try to make it. Am trying to figure out if I can give it as presents but it looks like, although it will keep for a while, it has to be frozen.
Although, then, how did Jaimie bring it with her from SF and keep it for the weeks they've been there?

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."
That looks fabulous. I dunno if I could make it though. Don't think I have enough patience.
Thanks for the Eugene quickfire clarification. Oh, and the SO rightly pointed out that it would have been tomatoes and not tomato paste during the episode.
Yeah, Daniel's sabotaging Carla's dish was crazy! And with shiitakes, which are so strong and difficult to manage. I appreciated very much that Carla acknowledged the problem but didn't throw him under the bus. She was very careful with her phrasing, which is unusual on this show.
Those two girls I can't hold in my memory at all. The blonde death by spice girl and the "just friends with Hosea" girl. I keep forgetting they're on the show.

I was yelling "throw him under the bus", i thought that she should have been honest. Another chef added something to her dish without telling her, much less asking her. She didn't need to be a bitch, just say "the mushrooms were a last minute addition that we didn't discuss". From the editing, it looks like she didn't even know until the plating stage, which was too late. Could she really redo all of the plates?

Blonde death by spice girl was eliminated last week, wasn't she?
The reality is that it's probably been only a few days since they got to NYC so the spice mixture hasn't been there that long.

Yeah, we see it in 10 weeks or whatever, but I think that they film it in 3 or 4.

Oh, sure, but the recipe says to refrigerate it after it cools down and that it will keep in the fridge for a month and in the freezer for several.
