Best Sugar High from Lingerie Ever

For anyone that's in the UK, Ann Summers usually sells the candy bra. I've never been tempted to buy one though...

Anna Pickard did an excellent liveblog of it; find it here.

Cheese. Definitely cheese.

@levinedym@Erin Zimmer@sthcb@nut warning.

I could see it if it was men's underwear?

Well, I didn't cook along, because 1) my wife is allergic to potatoes, which makes steak & chips RIGHT OUT, and 2) I'm in the USA and can't get it live. Still, the recipes, prep lists and equipment lists were published in advance so if one wanted to one could prepare. And judging from the live webcams on the set, there were at least a couple of dozen folks cooking along.

I'll probably try the scallop dish another time, and the butter-on-steak trick looks worth keeping.

Seriously...how many people will actually cook along? Even if I did get UK television, I don't have a TV in my kitchen. Also, what happens if you fall behind, discover you don't have a certain piece of kitchen equipment, etc. Sounds like you're screwed then.

I am a HUGE sucker for Skittles in the purple bag. Wildberry, I think. Anyway, if a craving strikes, I will go out of my way to get them, regardless of the hour or my location.

The last emergency trip I made was for ice cream and chocolate malt mix. Ice cream and chocolate are two things I definitely cannot live without. I keep my pantry stocked with chocolate chips and butterscotch chips AT ALL TIMES (in case of a really serious emergency, you know). See a trend? ha

I have a strange obsession with avocadoes. I buy them in bulk at costco ( I make weekely trips) but when I run out, I will definitely make a run. Also I second the bagel entry and I am a freshness snob when it comes to bagels. The people in the bage store know me by name.

Sometimes, I just NEED a Snickers bar ... maybe once every few months or so, I'll just have a craving, and that's the only thing I'll want, so I'll sneak out of work for a few minutes to grab one ..

Muenster cheese and bagels. Two of the staples in my house. There is a 24-hour bagel bakery a few blocks away. Now if I could only find a 24-hour dairy store!!

I'm a crazy woman brought on from being born & raised in WNY....I have a pantry we could live on for a month if necessary. I also follow the tradition around here....as soon as the words "lake effect" are uttered by the weather man, we all stop at the store on the way home from work to stock up on storm necessities like bread, milk & snacks. I was snowed in for 5 days once, and didn't run out of anything!

I live in Florida so this might seem foreign to anyone in New York but when my bottled water supply gets low, I truly panic. If you've ever been to Florida you know about the raw sewage that passes for tap water here and you can probably at least sympathize. On a recent trip to NY, my BF said, "We forgot to buy bottled water" to bring into the hotel. I got him a glass of tap water, handed it to him and said, "Here, have some champagne."

For food - I guess that's seasonal. At this time I need lots of low-fat snacks and nibbles. When I get low on apples and carrots, I get antsy because I know when I have to quell the beast between meals, I can undo my whole day with a small but high fat snack. The only exception to that is peanut butter.

I don't like running out of pasta because it's good for quick meals.

Last time I "ran out" for something, it was milk for my coffee and boy, was I a sight. Thankfully, there was no one else around at the 7 11 to see me dash in wearing PJ bottoms, a jacket, my glasses and my hair looking like a bird's nest.
