Liese,
they randomly draw dances of a hat, don't you know. (wink wink)
That's one spunky little girl you've raised. I'm gonna eat her.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
I watched Top Chef for the first time tonight, and imagine my surprise when they were cooking and eating in the dorm I lived in for two years.
I was wondering about that! Hah.

In the shower, y'all. A college dorm shower!
I had a moment of horror when he was describing doing this and saying something along the lines of "so it was clean."
Dude, have you ever seen a dorm shower before? Not big with the hygeine.

So true about the shower.
TC:Masters = excellent.
I loved the chefs watching the girl scouts criticize their food.

I suspect that the college cleaned the hell out of it for the show.

Yeah, my office building polished everything in our floor bathroom when someone fancy was having a press conference in our office, and they were definitely not filming the bathroom! So I can imagine.

It was hilarious. I liked what Michael Schlow said about keeping big-time chefs humble.

Oh, I'm sure. It's just when he made that comment I reminisced on some of the dorm showers I'd used back in the day. I'm not even sure "clean" describes the water.

Because books.
I really loved how much fun they seemed to have. Especially watching the Girl Scout critics!
And yet, they all took it seriously, too. Listening to critics like that, face to face, has to be a very new experience for some of them, especially when you're established.

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."
TC:M - I know! They really did seem to be having a blast (except at the end when they were abruptly competitive, hee) and I liked how they interacted with each other. It must be fun for them to get a chance to work side by side.
And I love that they listened carefully to the critiques. Definitely a new experience, and I think it's one they'll benefit from. I especially liked seeing them quail in fear when they saw Gael.

Because books.
And then decide to go have another drink when all was said and done!
