We'll be drinking white wine in the sun...

Happy Holidays - again.  With my new favorite Christmas (or non-Christmas) song.  Thanks to my friend Meredith for showing this to me.  I so love it.

Random musings (and a Top Chef All Stars spoiler)

It's getting late, I'm watching Top Chef: All Stars and will soon be going to bed, but not until I know who was eliminated tonight.

Wow - now I'm watching the end of the show and Jen really goes off about her dish!  Phew, go Jen!  She's so crazy.  Yelling at the judges may not be the best way to go.  I do have big respect for Tom now, for saying he didn't mind the back talk, that if someone is going home it'll be for a bad dish, not for talking back to the judges. 

Tiffani (the red-haired one) was such a bitch in her season, Season 1, and I didn't like her at all.  This season she seems much softer, nicer.  I kind of like her.  But Tiffany is actually my favorite.  For now.   I just loved her in the last (most recent) season, but I also adore Spike.  He's such a character.  Those two are my favorites and the ones I hope make it into the Finals.  We'll see.  What is Bravo's mantra these days?  "Watch what happens!"  And so I will.

I totally love this show.  I try not to watch too much reality TV but this show is great.  Maybe it's because I love food, or because my dad is a Chef, but I just find it fascinating.  Also, I am not a cook.  I love to bake but cooking is not my thing.  When I watch these chefs create amazing dishes with all the restrictions they're given, it just floors me. 

And the verdict... Holy crap - I can't believe they sent Jen home!  I guess that'll teach the contestants not to talk back to the judges.  Not cool Top Chef.  I have to say I'm a little disappointed.  Of course, I didn't taste her dish so really, I can't say whether she actually deserved to go home or not, but it doesn't look good.  That's for sure.

Coming next week, Tiffani says: I should not have frozen my melons.
Is it just me or does that sound dirty?
