I have just returned from 3 1/2 days in the southern Adirondacks and I am still recovering from my gall bladder surgery, so my posts are a bit askew.
Today I will be recapping Top Chef. Go w/ it people!
This week's Quickfire Challenge was to re-invent the hot dog. The cheftestants went up against a NY hot dog vendor. Radhika won immunity with her Indian inspired Sheek Kabob, lamb sausage with onions and tomato chutney. Yum yum yummy. I've had Sheek Kabob at The Sitar (the restaurant where SexyBeast and I met) and it was truly sublime when rolled into a piece of garlic naan. Bottom of the barrel was Stefan (what?!) for his multi culti dog, methinks the flavours were all over the place, and Jill for using a store bought dog and having no inspiration.
Elimination Challenge was disappointing this week. I get that the show has been going for so long and they're probably running out of ideas or maybe I'm just being a big crank. The cheftestants had to present a 3 course lunch at head judge Tom Coliccho's (Col-Dickio!) flag ship restaurant Craft (never eaten there. can't afford it) to the reject chefs that were not cast for this season's Top Chef. Ehhh. Lame idea.
The chefs assigned themselves to present an app, entree, or dessert.
Winning this week was Fabio for his beef carpaccio with grilled lemon and spherical olives appetizer (every time I see or hear that word I think of Starvin' Marvin of South Park fame). I've never had a carpaccio, as I understand it, its like raw jerky. Please correct me if I'm wrong. I'm not really liking Fabio. He's kinda a sexist European douche. And packing their knives and going home was Jill for making crappy ostrich egg quiche. A food she had never cooked w/ before and she had no clear idea of a dish to present before she went to the market. Disaster! There is always a pattern. Fuck up at Quickfire and Elimination and it's game over.
I'll be serving up another Top Chef recap on Wednesday.

And the Loser is......
Well the last episode of America's Next Top Model has finally aired. The good, the bad and the not so attractive.
We are down to the final 3. Sam, the ham, cute and commercial and ever so annoying. Annaleigh, cute, commercial and boring. McKey, stunningly beautiful and not that annoying or boring. McKey has been a favourite since day one.
There are no more challenges. We dive right into the requisite Cover Girl commercial and photo shoot for some new crappy Cover Girl lip gloss. It's basically just public humiliation for the chicks seeing as how they can't really act. The photos were OK, nothing really to be amazed at. That's my own personal belief, I prefer weird artsy shit. McKey is called first and Annaleigh goes home.
Then the weird, wonderful fashion show. Every year the producers of Top Model try to get the 2 finalists to fall on the runway. This year the runway is made out of pink Nerf and they have to run up a hill. Strains of Kate Bush are humming in my ears.
McKey had the better walk and thus is this season's winner. Last time they picked a winner that I adored, she ended up in the gutter looking like..... well gutter trash.
Top Chef will be taking over my Wednesday posts. And Top Model will be back in March '09. You better work, bitches!

OWIE!
This week is going to be all over the place. Yesterday, I had my gall bladder surgery. Let me tell you all about it!
I get up, kiss SexyBeast, take a shower and then quietly panic. Get to the hospital for 9:30 am pre-admission testing. I register, give them my $75 co-pay (which is total fucking bullshit!) and wait for 2.5 seconds. Then the nurse's aid weighs me (150lbs. I call shenanigans!) gets my BP (102/70 lowish normal) and get a urine pregnancy test. She was going to draw blood and was bitching at me about being dehydrated until I explained through gritted teeth that I was fasting for my surgery..... TODAY.
Then I met w/ the sweetest nurse ever, Ellen. And she asked me a barrage of medical questions.
Then I was led to same day surgery and got completely nakee, the first time I've ever done that in front of SexyBeast and we didn't get freaky deaky. I put on the stupid backless gown and even more ridiculous hat thingy.
Then I had a lot of time on my hands , so I re-read Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone for the eleventhy bajillion time. Then I couldn't concentrate so I watch Tony Bourdain in African Bush and Samantha Brown in New Orleans.
Then I got my IV placed and that pretty much sucked.
I met w/ the anesthesiologist and he had no personality what so ever.
Then I cried when the nurses took me to the OR. They gave me happy juice and I don't remember a damn thing.
I woke up in the recovery room in horrible pain and really pukey. The painkillers didn't do shit and I was hooked up to a blood pressure monitor my entire 2 hour stay in recovery. Oh yeah, I guess the painkillers did work 'cause I slept my entire time away in recovery.
Then back to same day, I was awake, alert and SCREAMING my head off. Awful gas pain underneath my rib cage. Don't think gross thoughts, they pumped me full of carbon dioxide so the doctor could see my gall bladder. I was also freezing cold and couldn't catch my breath.
I peed and watched The Simpsons (the one where Lisa becomes a cigarette smoking ballerina) and then SexyBeast and my mother picked me up and brought me home.
Don't how much I will be posting for the rest of the week. I want to thank all my friends and fellow bloggers for all their thoughts and well wishes

Top Chef
As America's Next Top Model is winding down, I will begin to recap Top Chef. Please bear in mind I am not a chef and know nothing about the fancy chef terminology or gadgetry. Also for a fully loaded Top Chef recap, please check out Kim at www.televisionwithoutpity.com.
This season's contest is in NYC, baby. We started out with 17 cheftestants but only 16 will be making it to the Top Chef digs. We start off w/ a quick fire elimination. Usually quick fire determines immunity for a chef or some other fabulous prize. The cheftestants had to peel 15 apples with a paring knife. The first chef done will be granted immunity and the next 8 chefs will be safe from elimination. The winner was hottie Stefan from Finland. I'm a sucker for a bald man w/ an accent! Then the next phase had the remaining 8 finely and uniformly chop the peeled apples. Final phase and remaining 4 cheftestants had to create something out of their 2 cups of diced apples. Word to the wise: never, ever make a salad on Top Chef. It's the kiss of death. Oh and hey guess what? The 2 goombas that made salads were in the bottom 2 and up for elimination. And it's Lauren, the 23 year wife of a U.S. soldier in Iraq who is a chef in Savannah, GE (whew long intro!) who will packing her knives and heading home.
The cheftestants get their assignment for judging. Everyone pulls a destination out of the knife block. Each 8 pairs of 2 will be going to said place to be inspired by the international cooking of the area. The cheftestants will be going head to head, losers will be judged and one will be sent home.
The break down goes like this: Astoria/Greek food
Brighton Beach/Russian food
Long Island City/Middle Eastern food
Ozone Park/Latin food
Jamaica (Queens)/Caribbean food
Little Italy (guess!)
Chinatown (guess again!)
Little India (are you stumped?)
The winner was cocky Stefan who went to Long Island City and made a duo of lamb chops w/ tabouli salad (yum!) and a beef and onion skewer (double yum!) Side note, all but one of the winners of the 1st elimination challenge has gone on to win the title of Top Chef. And Patrick the little gay guy in culinary school was sent a-packin' for his debacle of Chinese cuisine. He offered up seared salmon and bok choy over black rice noodles. Patrick made an off hand remark about "it's noodles. all you have to do is boil them." My mom said that was the nail in his coffin. To me his dish just sounded plain yucky.
My favourite cheftestants so far are, Leah, she seems like a really talented chef, tattooed Jaime, hunky bald Hosea w/ one dimple (I want to sip champagne from that dimple!) and Stefan the Finnish kinda jerk.

Sacre Bleu!
Top Model recap, only one more epi to go.
This week the lesson/challenge was about emoting w/out speaking. Actually a valuable lesson when yr a print model. Much more useful than the stupid makeup challenges. Honestly, when would a model ever have to do her own makeup..... in a speeding car...... in under 10 minutes. I'm just sayin'. The chicks were in a "commercial" in which they had to run on a tread mill make eye contact w/ a male model who is in a "cab" and smooch him passionately on the lips. Marjorie, my lovely lady, won for being the most natural.
Then she boozed it up w/ some Dutch boys and jumped into the hot tub fully clothed. It was no season 2 Shandi "YOU HAD SEX!" but still entertaining.
This week's photo shoot had the chicks dolled up in couture avantgard pieces posing in front of traditional Dutch windmills. This week's wiener was Annaleigh, meh. And going home was Marjorie. WHAT? NOOOOOO!!!! I adored her. My only consolation is the fact that winning Top Model is mostly a joke and hinders a chick if she wants to legitimately model.
Final 3 final epi. My prediction: Annaleigh. Wholesome, can act, a dummy. It's all good.

Merry X-mas to Me
Boyfriend is out of town for the weekend, so I decided to take advantage of some me time.
I'm planning on moving in w/ SexyBeast in January and as such am taking a personal inventory of what I can and cannot bring into my new home. However, SexyBeast has been a bachelor for a good long while and he admittedly will not spend a lot of money on things he deems unworthy. For this reason, today I purchased a shower caddy, well it's really more of a pole thingy. I'll post more when I put it together. Also, have to bring coffee mugs because all he owns are travel mugs and 99% of the time they are in the dishwasher or in the sink. And up until last month he did not own a tea kettle. Well, my lovely SexyBeast got hit w/ a killer chest cold a few weeks ago and broke down to purchase a kettle. He settled on the cheap 4.99 one at Target. You get what you pay for my friends. I went to make him a cup a tea when was coughing his brains out and I spilt hot water on my hand.
Then I shot over from Bed, Bath and Friggin' Beyond to Marshall's, wherein I got my brother and sister-in-law their X-mas gift. I always get them gift baskets. Now you may think that lacks originality but there so many variations on the theme one could never tire of them. This year it's a tea/waffle/scone set. And I couldn't help myself and got a Life is Good long sleeve T-shirt. I reasoned the purchase that I only own 3 long sleeve T-shirts and needed another.
And finally I went to my local Gap outlet. I got a super cute outfit for my 3 year old niece on sale w/ an additional 30% off. With my savings I got 2 new sweaters and at the end of the day I saved 42 bucks.
I'll try to not let the trend continue this season of one gift for you and two for me. But we'll see....

For this reason, today I purchased a shower caddy, well it's really more of a pole thingy. I'll post more when I put it together. Also, have to bring coffee mugs because all he owns are travel mugs and 99% of the time they are in the dishwasher or in the sink. And up until last month he did not own a tea kettle. Well, my lovely SexyBeast got hit w/ a killer chest cold a few weeks ago and broke down to purchase a kettle. He settled on the cheap 4.99 one at Target. You get what you pay for my friends. I went to make him a cup a tea when was coughing his brains out and I spilt hot water on my hand.
Then I shot over from Bed, Bath and Friggin' Beyond to Marshall's, wherein I got my brother and sister-in-law their X-mas gift. I always get them gift baskets. Now you may think that lacks originality but there so many variations on the theme one could never tire of them. This year it's a tea/waffle/scone set. And I couldn't help myself and got a Life is Good long sleeve T-shirt. I reasoned the purchase that I only own 3 long sleeve T-shirts and needed another.
And finally I went to my local Gap outlet. I got a super cute outfit for my 3 year old niece on sale w/ an additional 30% off. With my savings I got 2 new sweaters and at the end of the day I saved 42 bucks.
I'll try to not let the trend continue this season of one gift for you and two for me. But we'll see....
