Store bought, a couple of weeks. Home made or fresh from the oven slathered with butter (and maybe honey)...pretty much inhaled completely in one fell swoop (minutes from oven to tummy).

We don't do loaves we do baguettes ... it takes about 2 minutes, literally, I am not kidding!!! If I want a bite, I have to have it before bringing it into the house or hide it!

Thanks for that. It was certainly less sappy than one of Kimballs' editorials.

I've been listening to J-Gold on Good Food for years and this is the first time I've seen a picture of him. It's nuts when you finally put a face to a voice. I was expecting a small bespectacled man, not Philip Seymour Hoffman in Boogie Nights!

"So outside of toast or PB&J, are we supposed to feel sorry for you?" Toby Young wishes he thought of that one. Bam!

I'm with lexophile on this one. It's right up there with "toothsome" and "cloying" for me. :)

during my last bout with a nasty cold I discovered that chocolate soothes sore throats! ~ I'm partial to Halls Mentho-Lyptus cough drops, to Traditional Medicinals Gypsy Cold Care & Breathe Easy Teas with liberal amounts of honey, to oranges and to hot & sour soup.

I've got a serious opposition to the "word" restaurateur... not least of which is that it is silly and makes my language sensors queasy.

my friend had these hoarhound cough drops she got at the drugstore... nice herbal taste for those like my who dont like the super sweet taste of most cough drops [i dont like the way the sugary stuff makes my lips and teeth feel all coated]. i havent found them again, but they were super effective.

Fabio was robbed last night. I am sick of the piss poor attitude of Stephan. I liked him in the begininng, but I am just tired of his attitude, much like Leah's. He made the comment that Hosea's gumbo was gross or disgusting (or something close to that) and yet the judges, Emeril included found his to be far superior. Stephan doesn't have the ability or maturity to be good on his own merit, he constantly has to blast the other chefs to play up his own food. Why not just be good on your own? Carla did a nice job, and she might end up winning. I don't know about Hosea.....

my feeling is that carla, jeff and hosea were the best.... but carla was maybe a little better than jeff and so thats how it had to go down. so sorry to see jeff gone. and let me say this, im sorry, stefan may be the best, i dont know..... but with his poor attitude... i wouldnt want to hand over my money to sit and eat at someones restaurant who was like that.

and again top chef is just that 'top in all things'. ( but i do wonder what kind of boss he is). best of luck to all.

I think Fabio could have edged out if he had like the judges said "rimmed the glasses with spice"
Seemed like the cocktails were overlooked a bit and that could have given his entire selection just enough kick yet let him keep his Italian flair intact.

Plus BREAD! Come on!
