Alton Brown interview

Nice to see Alton get some mainstream-ish face time, as Good Eats has been my favorite cooking show since Emeril went off the air.  The Sweeney Todd episode about meat pies was hilarious and I’ve taken countless recipes from the show.  His mac and cheese in particular is great stuff and easily duplicated.

That being said, Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives is quickly overtaking it in terms of making me want to drive to the places profiled and order whatever Guy shows.  Food Network RULES, man.

A very special Office wedding

Saturday, October 10th, 2009

Finally watched “Niagara” tonight on the DVR, and I have to say I fear a little bit for the Office now because this would have been the perfect series finale and now I don’t think they can go up any further from here.  To be honest, as much as I love the characters, I’d be fine if they wrote Jim & Pam out and let them just live happily ever after in smirking glance land, because their story arc has reached the conclusion it needed to.  Plus it’s not like Andy and Dwight couldn’t carry this show on their own anyway.

Regardless, this was one of the most wonderful hours of television I have seen in a long time, although I haven’t seen the Youtube video in question and I really don’t want to now.  I was also distracted by Pam’s sister being the Fellowship wacko from True Blood, but that was a minor complaint.  Dwight kicking Isabelle in the face during their dance was worth the price of admission, and the whole wedding speech was the kind of wonderfully awkward trainwreck that this show has down to a science.  And of course Michael had a whoopie cushion, just in case. 

Just wow.  30 Rock has a big challenge topping this one.
