lol,sorry! i figured you were still busy with the launch!
Well yes, but - Friday - time for other stuff - Last week, then Mon to Wed were the big days, the rest is a conversation for elsewhere LOL
so.....i felt so bad for tyler!! there's a raging debate elsewhere as to whether he actually cheated,or just made a mistake when he took blueberry tattoo girl's panna cotta. i'm leaning towars mistakes,as he was moving so fast.
I'm leaning towards mistake cos he took one that didn't work, if he had known that wasn't his, why wouldn't he have gone and got one of his and seem if it was any better?
i was rather surprised they didn't turn one of HIS out and try it,even though he was going home.
i'm hoping he can come back and try again next season.
i had no idea panna cotta was that tough,i've never made it. actually,i don't think i've ever eaten it,lol!
Me too. Though I presume it would be something like a bavaroise, and I know how long it took to perfect even a chocolate one and alter the standard recipe to suit the ingredients. Took weeks to work out 45g gelatine per kilo of mix, reliant on the use of double cream and S Couveture. Change one of those ingredients and I had to adjust the gelatine. and that was just for chocolate. Then ione time, on the second conch, I tempered the couveture to 40 instead of 37 - screwed the entire batch - but had no idea till I was finished and went back over what I had done - so had to melt it down and rework it...
as sad as i was for tyler,i was glad willie didn't go home,he screwed up royally with the presearing! but his roll was goodlooking at least,considering he's never done it before.
Well, Considering Luca had shown them how to do it, it was a bit of a rookie mistake..
loved seeing luca,and alexander too!! luca's looking pretty dapper now! can't wait to get his book!
Luca is a bit of a sweetheart, eh? Alexander is just a prodigy - he will be an immense force, the feel and skills that are just inherrant within him - practise doesn't make that - ever - but it does develop and perfect it.
now,on to hell's kitchen. kashia DID deserve to go home,yes,but imho,scott should have too.
Yes to Kashia - she is not ready to lead a brigade. Scott? NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO! Hush you!! LOLOL
disrespecting gordon like that was a bad move. he may be next to go,if he keeps getting flustered like that.
mmm, yes, the backchat was wrong, BUT, i didn't see it as disrespect, i saw it as utter confusion - what he said, fine in the office - just not there on the floor and especially in the middle of freakin service!
and although i'm not fond of blondie,kashia DID throw her under the bus and lie to chef,also not smart.
Yep, that she did. Though do you think she meant to? Is it possible that she misheard Bl;ondie or misinterpreted her intentions? I don't like Kashia, but I never thought of her as a liar to save her own skin iykwim?
scott and redbeard were a hoot,drunker than lords after their winning lunch,lol! it was obvious redbeard was SERIOUSLY hung over,
YEPv - and right there and then, he should have been sent home. Coming into the kitchen hung over? Shows his bad choices from the day before, shows he didn't consider that he had to work "tomorrow" - to me that's an untrustwiorthy trait to have in someone who is leading a brigade, I mean, if he can't focus when there is a muillion dollars at stake, then what choices will he make when it is day to day operations? I mean, is a million dollars not worth doing your best to bring your A game? He values his alcohol more than that?
he must have knocked over at least 10 things! and i cracked up when he told scott that chef andie scares him! she should!
i wish i could have gotten a better look at rochelle's chicken blt,i like the idea alot. i may try my own tomorrow,with leftovers from today's megagrilling adventure.
i really thought redbeard screwed the pooch when his grill flared up,was quite surprised his pork belly didn't die on him!
next week should be interesting!
