should Top Chef do an all stars show and bring back #1-3 of each season to compete? i'd love to see this -- nm - peglegpete Feb 26, 13:49 1
- I believe that this is the show that lends itself best to an All-Star competition in a season or two. -- nm - David Feb 26, 13:58

  - testify. we should be roomies so we can go out for dinner every night together. - posting from class loves mandy lane Feb 26, 14:04

- I hate going to the grocery store. So much. - Callisto Feb 26, 13:52 3
  - Ya know, I really wouldn't hate the shopping so much if - kelly Feb 26, 13:55 2

- I enjoy grocery shopping. a lot. -- nm - Pippy Haremette Feb 26, 13:48
- "cooking the meals with the shopping"? what does that mean? -- nm - con_carne Feb 26, 13:48 9
  - someone else goes shopping, you do the cooking with the stuff they brought home from the grocery store. -- nm - JaxSean Feb 26, 13:50 1
    - Ah, cooking, then. I don't like shopping -- nm - con_carne Feb 26, 13:52
  - With Beef has no idea what this means? - Pippy Haremette Feb 26, 13:48 4
    - With Meat is all, "Huh?" bilingually. -- nm - Diva Feb 26, 13:51 3
      - "De que colmo estan hablando??" -- nm - con_carne Feb 26, 13:54 2
        
        la palabra 'colmo' in this sentence confuses me. -- nm - Diva Feb 26, 14:01 1
        
        [deleted]
  - [deleted] 1
    - Like "shopping with a recipe in mind"? I'm so clueless here -- nm - con_carne Feb 26, 13:49

  - He cleans? *Nice*. -- nm - kelly Feb 26, 13:48 16

      - [deleted] 12
        
        i never thought about it, it just doesn't seem like one person should be, permanently, in charge of both. -- nm - Andie Feb 26, 13:59 1
        
        I disagree -- nm - the 1950's Feb 26, 14:00

        Depends. I am a pretty messy cook, so we have a "whoever cooks, cleans" regime -- nm - Roger More Feb 26, 13:55 5
        
        but do you basically alternate turns? -- nm - Andie Feb 26, 13:58 4
        
        (also, i HATE cleaning the kitchen, hate it.) -- nm - Andie Feb 26, 14:02 1
        
        I keep the kitchen "okay" for the most part, but LOVE the house keeper for coming every three weeks to do the serious clean. -- nm - Name Withheld By Request Feb 26, 14:08
        
        Yeah, but we both like to cook. If one of us has no interest in cooking, we might have some other arrangement -- nm - Roger More Feb 26, 14:01 1
        
        good deal. -- nm - Andie Feb 26, 14:02
        
        it's a fair arrangement that many people use, AFAIK -- nm - Beryllium Feb 26, 13:55 1
        
        Yep -- nm - con_carne Feb 26, 13:57
- I prefer cooking, but I do both -- nm - Roger More Feb 26, 13:47
- cooking. -- nm - znufrii Feb 26, 13:47
"The budget calls for collecting $646 billion between 2012 and 2019 from the auctioning of greenhouse pollution allowances" -- (link) - Loyola Feb 26, 13:45
the Gavin Rossdale solo cd called Wanderlust is really good. -- nm - Remlik Feb 26, 13:44 6
- God, that CD should have been titled "I am now a pussy-whipped whiny little bitch." - JaxSean Feb 26, 13:47 3
  - his lyrics have always been 1 dimensional. But I thought it was a solid solo disc, nothing great, just good -- nm - Remlik Feb 26, 13:50 2
    - "You're wrong, Remlik." - JaxSean Feb 26, 13:52 1
      - fair enough. -- nm - Remlik Feb 26, 13:57
- thats the lead singer of Bush, right? -- nm - crash davis Feb 26, 13:45 1
  - yeah. it's really good. -- nm - Remlik Feb 26, 13:46
Hey Crash yeh I know we finished 2nd but here is my point - eag Feb 26, 13:42 3
- true, its less strategy, but I'll still take an EXP victory where I find them :) -- nm - crash davis Feb 26, 13:43 2
  - Still dont think its a good game for 2 players im sure Bery and Will and David and Tru and the rest would agree -- nm - eag Feb 26, 13:47 1
    - Do Not Want. -- nm - Beryllium Feb 26, 13:49
LIR: It helps that Iron Chef and Top Chef are good shows. 10 years ago, cooking shows were not like them. -- nm - con_carne Feb 26, 13:42 14
- I never fully appreciated how different Japanese culture was before I watched Iron Chef. -- nm - David Feb 26, 13:43 13
  - Every other Japanese show on the local Asian UHF channel is food-related - con_carne Feb 26, 13:47
  - that's where I got an inkling on just how different our cultures are -- nm - Remlik Feb 26, 13:45
  - My favorite was the kooky fortune teller lady on the end of the panel. She was a Terminator. -- nm - Diva Feb 26, 13:44 10
    - I was fascinated by the way they treated the host like crap. - David Feb 26, 13:46 1
      - was probably the final episode. -- nm - Remlik Feb 26, 13:51
    - mine was the bimbo actress of the week. Esp the one who ate the squidink ice cream and said... - Remlik Feb 26, 13:46 7
      - Il ove how each week there's a 95 lb. actress who says "I never eaten so much before in my life!!" - Diva Feb 26, 13:47 4
        
        ha! -- nm - Remlik Feb 26, 13:51 3
        
        All of this original Iron Chef slacktalk reminds me of you and me at Nobu. : ) -- nm - Diva Feb 26, 13:52 2
        
        yep. Best dinner I've ever had. And the company was pretty good to. - Remlik Feb 26, 14:02 1
        
        Yeah, I was stuck with Mel drinking Tequila - amoxy Feb 26, 14:06
      - I always wondered if the actresses were bimbos, or if the chick they hired to do the English dubbing was -- nm - crash davis Feb 26, 13:47 1
        
        probably a mix of both. I'm sure the actress was, but they really played it up in the dubbing. -- nm - Remlik Feb 26, 13:50
*wonders what Bery's experiment/test was on ST...* -- nm - JaxSean Feb 26, 13:41 11
- I explained it. I was testing the effectiveness of HTML tag stripping in message bodies. -- nm - Beryllium Feb 26, 13:41 9
  - ah, I missed the response. -- nm - JaxSean Feb 26, 13:44
  - So...have you given any thought as to when you're going to make my "cranky board"? - Trish Feb 26, 13:43 7
    - Working on a big change to ST's linking system first, then I'll be picking the next feature to work on -- nm - Beryllium Feb 26, 13:44 6
      - Orange post highlighting? -- nm - Ty97 Feb 26, 13:46 1
        
        oh, right, I was going to look at custom post highlighting colours -- nm - Beryllium Feb 26, 13:50
      - going to start counting the clicks? :) -- nm - JaxSean Feb 26, 13:44 3
        
        Yes, exactly. And I have something up my sleeve to do with that data, but it's a surprise. :) -- nm - Beryllium Feb 26, 13:48 2
        
        You should work on optimizing the info pages, too. - JaxSean Feb 26, 13:50 1
        
        indeed. that area needs a lot of reworking, though, not just the one thing. -- nm - Beryllium Feb 26, 13:53

Anyone know if/where I can find a whowas lookup on the net? - Subversive Feb 26, 13:39
Pet Peeve: I have an email alert on houses for sale meeting certain criteria. One seller keeps lowering the price by about 0.6%. - psilotum Feb 26, 13:38 6
- Ditto. Although I use a local one called Sidecar Advantage. -- nm - Beryllium Feb 26, 13:39 5
  - The number of houses meeting my criteria has shot up dramatically the last 6 months. -- nm - psilotum Feb 26, 13:40 4
    - We just started our search a few weeks ago - the number that have gone into 'sale pending' status is interesting. (More than I expected.) -- nm - Beryllium Feb 26, 13:41 3
      - Are you looking for a bigger place, or just using it for awareness? -- nm - psilotum Feb 26, 13:42 2
        
        we're looking at buying a house with a backyard and 3+ bedrooms. -- nm - Beryllium Feb 26, 13:42 1
        
        cool -- nm - psilotum Feb 26, 14:04
Just in case people missed it, my answer to the TV Hero post was: John "Hannibal" Smith. -- nm - Beryllium Feb 26, 13:38
I like Bobby Flay. I watched him years ago when he used to piss off Bryant Gumbel on the Today show. - crash davis Feb 26, 13:38 2
- I like how Bryant pissed Martha Stewart off once as they squared off over some roasted garlic. -- nm - Diva Feb 26, 13:40 1
  - I didn't see that one. I know Bryant hated cheese and so Flay put cheese in everything he cooked on the show. -- nm - crash davis Feb 26, 13:41
Does the fact that I'm actually *excited* about doing a full grocery shopping tomorrow make me old, or just weird? - kelly Feb 26, 13:37 26
- "Mail slot needs food, badly" -- nm - amoxy Feb 26, 13:58
- I *love* grocery shopping. -- nm - Diva Feb 26, 13:41

  - fyi: Your meals for the next few weeks will include: - kelly Feb 26, 13:40 16
    - (oh, I might make a calzone instead of the pizza.) -- nm - kelly Feb 26, 13:50
    - you just buy by the tonnage for him right? -- nm - Remlik Feb 26, 13:44 2
      - Heh. - kelly Feb 26, 13:45 1
        
        well when you guys build Casa Del Hunting...make sure you have room for an industrial freezer. -- nm - Remlik Feb 26, 14:01
    - can I comment? we made a home made pizza last weekend - I think we should have let the dough cook a little then take it out - Pippy Haremette Feb 26, 13:42 3
      - what temperature was it at? and you can buy a pizza stone pretty cheaply for $15 or so -- nm - Roger More Feb 26, 13:45 1
        
        I used a pizza stone, it was the temp that Pillsbury Dough Boy said to make it - Pippy Haremette Feb 26, 14:04
      - I used to make pizza at home all the time when I was in RI - never quite perfected a way to make it. -- nm - kelly Feb 26, 13:43
    - dang, I was hoping to see "vegetables" on the inside -- nm - crash davis Feb 26, 13:40 6
      - Well... - kelly Feb 26, 13:44 5
        
        [deleted] 3
        
        I'm not sure I'd call it 'trickery', heh. - kelly Feb 26, 13:56 2
        
        It's more like bribery. "Well, if you want to eat the meat ... you have to chew through the veggies." -- nm - Beryllium Feb 26, 13:57 1
        
        [deleted]
        
        ah, thats good thinking! -- nm - crash davis Feb 26, 13:48
    - Few weeks? - Will Hunting Feb 26, 13:40
  - absolutely -- nm - crash davis Feb 26, 13:38 3
    - meh - she's just putting the list together - Roger More Feb 26, 13:40 2
      - Oh, she does that, too. :p -- nm - kelly Feb 26, 13:41 1
        
        my hero! -- nm - Roger More Feb 26, 13:42
See you on the next board, brother. -- nm - Desmond Vermin Feb 26, 13:35 9
- what is the consensus? hot or not? I just can not decide? - Pippy Haremette Feb 26, 13:37 8
  - Oh yeah - he's hot. Sayid is eternally hot ever since "The English Patient". - Diva Feb 26, 13:46 2
    - Jeebus. I can't believe I didn't recognize him from The English Patient. -- nm - Inigo Feb 26, 13:55 1
      - That's because you'd fallen asleep. -- nm - Standard ST Response si Feb 26, 14:03
  - Desmond has ascended to the status of "uber hot". -- nm - Trish Feb 26, 13:44
  - Who, Desmond? Always ever so hot. My favorite. -- nm - Callisto Feb 26, 13:41
  - I can't really say on the dudes. But I like Juliet more than Kate these days. -- nm - Dr.Vermin Feb 26, 13:38 2
    - I agree. Although (spoils?) - JaxSean Feb 26, 13:45 1
      - yes she looked model like all cleaned up and in designer duds -- nm - Pippy Haremette Feb 26, 14:03
