“FNH actually did a write-up of that ridiculous London episode!”

@DameJudi: Thanks for the link. I hadn’t seen that blog entry as it was before I discovered FNH. I continue to wend my way through the gems here!

I thought that was one of the stupidest episodes (and that’s the one that was one three times in four days). I always wondered a couple of other things besides ‘who the f*ck thought it was alright to come into my house’, but who leaves on vacation and COMPLETELY empties their frigde? Not a jar a mayo or mustard or pickles. Nothing! What? Where they gone for a freakin year?? And that was one of the episodes where continuity was waaaayyy of kilter. For instance, when Ina whips up the ‘how easy can that be’ honey butter, she puts the butter in a little glass bowl with a spatula, and it’s all around the edges of the bowl. BUT when she puts in the into the fridge, it’s completely wiped clean around the edges, and of course, in Ina style, not covered with so much as a paper napkin. (I’ve seen the commercial size box of plastic wrap she has, so is she just that lazy?) Anyway, when Michael is building the fire, the way he lays the tinder on the logs in the firebox ain’t the way they show the fire when one of the ‘boys’ lights said fire. See, I told you this show has been on more times than I can count. And just as a side note, I didn’t count, but she must have used the word ‘fantastic’ 50 times in that show for some reason. ugh.

“‘Barefood Contessa’ is basically a marathon all the time. In less than five days, they ran the same episode THREE TIMES. If that isn’t a marathon, I don’t know what is…”

LMAO! Wasn’t yesterday’s show the “Welcome Home” dinner for “the boys” who had been in London? I’ve seen that several times and say, “Enough, already!”

If I’d just been on a 7-hour flight across the pond, the last thing I’d want to do is turn on the oven to heat up Truffled Mac & Cheese, or indulge in Lemon Souffle appropriately garnished with whipped cream and lemon slices. More importantly, I’d want to know who the f*ck thought it was alright to come into my house, put (uncovered) frickin’ foods in my frickin’ fridge and presume that I would want to eat it immediately upon my return, frickin’ fiddle with my fireplace, and leave me frickin’ fresh fruit?
