Does anyone here watch 'Master Chef'?

Tonight was good. Gordon Ramsey slayed a lobster, getting all of the meat out of one, and made homemade tortellinis filled with lobster.. I do enjoy this show and now I'm really hungry!
And hi, long time since I've said a word here.

1. HI, b'sis!

Yes, it is a long time. ALSO a long time since I 'slayed a lobster!'

2. Hi, honey! Yes, he

really did slay a lobbie. He got every piece of meat out of them; it was a thing of beauty. Then his 'students' had to replicate that. Good times I was happy to watch.

3. I have watched a few episodes...

I like that they actually cook. They aren't quite as bad as Top Chef when it comes to throwing in curve balls that keep the contestants from actually cooking.

The one with the kids is fascinating to me. An 8 year old making a flan!

4. IKR, seriously!?!?!?! How can kids do that?

It blows me away - how do they know how to not just create recipes, but all the stinking types of cooking and using all the kitchen tools!

I was in my 30's before I ever used a food processor, I have no idea how to poach anything, roasting can be hit or miss depending on if I am consistent in slicing the veggies evenly.

And the kids have such great attitudes - because it is still fun for them (I hope)

5. Well I did some digging after the last season...

they get some of the recipes ahead of time so they practice. Still, they may have to make a pie or a beef wellington. They use food processors like pros.

7. I watched that kids' series, and I too was

blown away!

6. Whenever I see your name I always think "shake it".

Saw Steely Dan in Dallas about a week ago.

8. Ha! I used to get that a lot on DU.

Steely Dan had nothing to do with the name. I grew up in a small town called Babylon, Long Island, NY, and I have sisters. But I love Steely Dan!
