Big Game, Big Loser

Top Chef recap, y'all!

For the Quickfire Challenge, the cheftestants were greeted by Top Chef Masters alum Tim Love. Tim has a psychotic smile. It's creepy! The cheftestants had to pair a sipping tequila w/ a tasty dish. Sucking it hard core were Crotch Head Heather and her Chili's inspired poop-fest, Stupid Hair Accessory Chris and his dry chicken & Sarah's under cooked risotto. Sarah then bitched that risotto should be cooked al dente. News flash! Risotto should smooth & creamy, not hard & chunky. Winning a bucket of money (immunity is now off the table) was Ty and his spicy Thai flavoured clams.

For the Elimination Challenge, the cheftestants were assigned into pairs and had to make big game meat dishes. WITH A TWIST! The cheftestants had to taste each others dishes and select the 3 best & worst teams w/ one team going home. On a winning streak was Ty and Edward & their delicious delicious quail offering. I've never had quail but I'm very intrigued about it's flavour.  Sadly Dakota & Nyesha got chopped because Dakota under cooked her venison. Oy! Disappointed :-(

Heather is a C U Next Tuesday! She bullied Beverly, she yelled at Grayson, she thinks her shit does not stink. Please please please send her home, Top Chef Gods of Fate!

Fat Assing It

Holiday Christmas party at Lombardo's (home my second date w/ SB wherein he spilled water all over the table) & I accidentally ate eggplant parm. Eggplant is abhorrent. The texture is just so damn vile! However, Lombardo's does not fuck around w/ their parms. Not a hint of skin on the eggplant, sliced razor thin. Perfecto!

The ever awesome Albany Jane organized a spectacular evening w/ a grouping fantastic people at Sushi X. I'm not a seafood eater but I do enjoy going out. Plus if SB doesn't get sushi every few months, he turns into a crank monster. I had for the first time ever vegetarian sushi rolls: rice, seaweed, cucumber, peanuts & avocado. It tasted extra nummy slathered in horseradish.

Sushi X night was also SB's birthday. Free beer at Ye Olde English Pub for the birthday boy.
He drank a whole liter of Foster's!

Central Steak = salad bar, garlic mashed potatoes. SB got a hanger steak w/ a fried egg. And he was especially happy that PBR was on the drink menu.

Saturday was a pre-Hanukkah celebration w/ my brother & his family. Sis-in-law made chocolate cake w/ chocolate filling and chocolate chips. KICK ASS!

Zumba, yr my only hope!

Shady Lady

I did not watch the Top Model finale because it looked like it was going to be a mess......AND boy was I right!

Angelea was mysteriously disqualified. Lisa was re-crowned the winner. Why? She photographs 50.....blergh!

Allison Allison Allison, always the bridesmaid never the bride! Why? Oh why? She's gorgeous, she has a unique look and she's able to use multisyllabic words in a sentence.

Farewell, Top Model, until March.

Mis-Steak

Top Chef recap time!

For the Quickfire Challenge, the cheftestants were assigned a mother sauce , expand upon it & make a dish. Insert sauce pun here. The losers were Dakota (awww!) and her too sweet peach infused bechamel, Nyesha's muddled tomate and ras el hanout & Bev's espagnole wasabi. Bev, enough w/ the Asian style...branch out, take chances! Winning immunity was Grayson's hollandaise and scallops. Nice!

For the Elimination Challenge, the cheftestants had to work together to create a four course dinner featuring moo moo cow steak. Ty-lor cut the webbing of his hand whilst butchering meat. I gotta tell ya, this was the most boring uninspiring menu ever. Heather won w/ Ed's tres leches cake. Heather is a stealth bitch because #1 she's already made this cake for the quincenera challenge #2 she called out Bev for spending too much time & energy on shrimp AND she did this in the stew room right before judging. I'm no Bev fan but DAMN that's passive aggressive. And I can't believe she won this week! BLAH! And packing it up was Whitney's crap potatoes au gratin. Goodbye, Whitney! We hardly knew ye.....and that's the damn truth because everytime she came on screen, I was all, "Who dat?"

Maybe next week the cheftestants will be more creative.

My World is Beginning



I am a sufferer of depression and it gets progressively worse during the winter months. But one thing that keeps me going: Rankin/Bass Christmas specials. To date, I own all the ones available on DVD. I'm still waiting for The First Christmas Snow, Little Drummer Boy Part II, Jack Frost and The Life & Times of Santa Claus to be released. FINGERS CROSSED FOR NEXT YEAR!

Obviously, most people know and love "Rudolph" & "Santa" but included on my compilation DVDs are some lesser known productions. "Little Drummer Boy" is awesome because it includes a death by stabbing and fire scene.

"Nestor the Long Eared Donkey" isn't bad but the ending is ridiculous. The story goes that there was a little donkey w/ ears so long they drag on the ground and he trips over them all the time. The only thing protecting him from being euthanized is Nestor's mother. A bunch of Roman centurions come and take all the donkeys except for Nestor. But he gets the boot because his owner has lost money and help on his farm. Nestor miraculously reunites w/ his mother and then she promptly dies during a snow storm. Nestor and his guardian angel, Tilly, travel to Bethlehem so that Nestor can carry Mary, Joseph and unborn baby Jesus to the stable. Nestor's ears even act as sail on the water! Then, for some unknown reason, Nestor goes back to the farm and he's treated like a hero. What the what? How would his former owner know about Nestor and baby Jesus? Why do the other animals no longer despise his very being?

"Cricket on the Hearth" just plain sucks monkey balls! Marlo Thomas is "Bertha" and she has the world's most annoying voice EVER. And for some reason a shifty eyed sailor shoots a crow. Not to mention it has nothing to do w/ Christmas at all. Hans Conreid is the only saving grace.

Check out my awesome bookcase.


The Burgermeister Meisterburger is crashing the Rudolph the Red Nosed Reindeer party. And Yukon Cornelius is letting him know that BM is not welcome!


Santa is trying to wave his dick around the two Bumbles but they're going to rip his head off. And I found out why Bumble has been so persecuted.

So so Wrong

Top Model is a train wreck and I gawking at the carnage.


I can barely recap this dreck!

*sigh* The four remaining hamsters had to write a travel blog for vogue.it. Allison is clearly the most articulate & a free lance writer BUT was deemed to "high flautin'". BLERGH! Angelea won the challenge because she went to the Greek ghetto. Oh, the tourism board of Greece must be loving this!

For the photo shoot, Tyra(nt) directed a pseudo artsy bullshit video. THE WORST!

Laura's country charm finally wore then and she was sent a-packing.

I want Allison to win but it will most likely be a horse race between old lady Lisa and drag queen Angelea

Folksy yet Progressive

Top Chef recap, y'all!

The cheftestants were informed that were on the road to Dallas. And no, Beverly, Dolly Parton is not from Dallas. Ms. Parton is from the Smokies.

En route to their desitination, the cheftestants were pulled over by the local good ol' boys. How dumb are these cheftestants? They honestly thought they were in trouble w/ the law....SHEESH! Anyways, the cops directed everyone to an empty cornfield where it was revealed that their Quickfire ingredients were in their trunks. Survival kit meals! Basically canned foods. AND no utensils. I object to this Quickfire! How can anyone make a tasty, nice looking plate of food w/ shit from a can? BOO!
The stinkers: Whitney and her tinny tin tinned food, Dakota and her too sweet stir fry & Chiclets Chris tofu disaster. Winning immunity and some dough was Lindsay and her Vienna sausage Saltine club sandwiches.

For the Elimination Challenge, the cheftestants were then trucked out to an affluent suburb and divided into apps, entrees and desserts to be served at a progressive dinner. A progressive dinner is when each part of a meal is eaten different houses in a neighborhood. I find this idea so intriguing! Did it originate in the 70's along w/ key parties? The hosts and hostesses were a bunch of vapid wealthy idiots. You could totally tell that Tom Colicchio thought so as well.

So far, the cheftestants have been outstanding or awful. No middle ground whatsoever. Winning dish went to Paul's appetiser of fried Brussels sprouts w/ grilled prosciutto. OH MY GOD YES YES YES!!! And packing it up was Chuy's over cooked salmon & feta crap in a corn husk.

And please, cheftestants, no more foods that look like mouldy ashy cigars.

T-Boz, Chili & Left Eye

Top Chef recap time...a day late.

The chestestants were greeted by Padma (of course!) & Mary Sue Milliken and Susan Feninger of Top Chef: Masters. Mary Sue & Susan own and cook in a very successful Mexican grill. So, yum! For Quickfire challenge, the cheftestants could choose from an array from chili peppers from the mild poblano to the nuclear fire of the ghost chili & create a tasty dish. The hotter the chili the more money it's worth to the winning dish PLUS immunity. Sucking it were Beverly because she didn't cook anything (chopped chilies w/ dressing is a salad for fuck's sake!), Richie's not hot scallop & Chuy's tinned tomato overload. Winning the ducats and immunity was Paul and his ghost chili chilled coconut soup. Super yum!

For the Elimination Challenge, the cheftestants were randomly split into 5 teams of three *slams head into wall* for a chili cook off for 200 guests at the rodeo. The guests chose the winning team while the judges had the nasty task of giving someone the boot. As a twist, there was no time limit, the cheftestants were allowed to stay up all night if they wanted to. And they all did....which I don't entirely understand because once the meat and the veggies are in the pot yr done cooking....but what do I know, I'm not a professional cheftestant. Also, none of the chilis contained beans of any sort. It's a Texas thing, no beans in the chili. Boo! The beans are the best part.

The winning team was Chiclets teeth Chris, blowhard Sarah & Chuy's chili con carne w/ roasted corn garnish. Honestly, I don't think the judges would have chosen this chili because of the thin texture & lack of dunking implement.

Losing team was Nyesha, Richie & Beverly's too sweet chili mole...though their cornbread got rave reviews. AGAIN a twist: the three losers had to cook head to head...to head using their failed chili and make a great new dish. In the end, Richie made a bad plate of food, cried like a little girl w/ a skinned knee and was gently comforted by hair accessory Chris.

Hmm chili!
