Try again ... <BR/><BR/>Excellent point about Ariane. The problem with the deviled eggs wasn't that they were poorly executed but that they were boring. And fried fish with brown butter and pineapple isn't? I dunno, maybe using skate made it seem more adventurous?<BR/><BR/>The new judge ... meh. Some of his snark seemed a bit labyrinthine. Kinda dulled the impact.<BR/><BR/>When Eugene was eliminated, I couldn't help muttering, "Bye, schmuck."Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8283831715209726281.post-87041162965756194942009-01-08T11:01:00.000-05:002009-01-08T11:01:00.000-05:001.

All that fried stuff should have been called out. <BR/><BR/>2. It's funny how Arian makes something so simple every week I could have made it, and sometimes it dooms her (the deviled eggs) and sometimes they all think it's marvelous (the skate fish - seriously - she cooked a fish and put some carmelized pinapple on top). <BR/><BR/>3. Glad to see Melissa and Eugene go. How exactly do you eat a big fried fish family style? Pass it around and one person cuts off the head for themself, the other the tail? I really didn't understand what he had going on there. I thought the fish tacos looked pretty. I think they were a bit rough on Melissa about her lack of creativity.<BR/><BR/>4. I still like Crazy Carla.<BR/><BR/>5. Diet Dr. Pepper ticks me off cuz they have all those yummy flavors, but not a single one Splenda sweetened (I'm intolerant to aspartame - so whomever used that drink in their dessert would have made me sick).Laurahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01786017101051535056noreply@blogger.com
