Richard Blais' blog for the most recent TC was very interesting.

I need to read the blogs more often. That was interesting, although I'm pretty sure that, as a Finn, Stefan would not be happy with the suggestion he should do "Scandinavian stuff".

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."
I meant to mention earlier, but while I agree that daikon & basil probably weren't the best combo, some of the comments about that dish were off base. It's fine for them to say that they've never had daikon except cold, but to say that it never is used that way, or never should be, is just wrong. There are lots of Hawaiian dishes that used daikon cooked, and they're fine. It has a different purpose there, and yes, it may taste "radishy" but it doesn't mean that it needs to be treated just as an exotic radish. It has its own purpose and uses. Probably not a good substitute for pasta, sure. But not never served warm, either.

Right. Lots of Japanese dishes that use daikon cooked too.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Anyway, I thought cooked radishes (the small red and white ones) was kind of the new hotness at restaurants.

I'm sure that Kat and I are the only ones watching Superstars of Dance, and I am really sad that the Australian dancer is leaving, I thought that he was so much more talented than the indian dancer.

I'm watching, usually with one eye shut because some of this stuff is just painful. I did think the Australian dancer was awesome. The Indian dancer underwhelmed me. As did the tango dancers. And most of the others. I really liked the South African couple, but the US judge who said they had to find a better balance between the tricks and the dancing was very right.
I keep thinking these are supposed to be superstars? People who got the boot off of SYTYCD? I hope it hurries up and comes back, I want to watch real talent.

I recorded the 2nd two hours of the Story of India and instead of the 3rd hour - WTTW played the 1st hour over again. What's up with that?

I just want to say that we know that the thing that Ryan will be thinking about vis a vis kissing the girl in the bikini will be when he wants to not get an erection.
