'Top Chef' Season 5, Episode 7: Toby Young Rocks

I have to agree that Carla's wail for Gail was serious funny! Eugene must have Morimoto's book from 2 summers ago wherein there is a recipe for daikon fettucine. Original? Methinks not. Lastly, I wonder if Toby's snarks would be even half as funny if an American was spewing them. Ta.

'Next Food Network Star' Runner-Up Adam Gertler Gets His Own Show

Sorry I'm late ... sorry to Serious Eats, I should say, not sorry to Food Network. I slid by Food Network last night and saw that Adam had a show. I thought it was new! I had no idea he'd won it last summer! Tells you how much I watch FN anymore. First though, good for Adam. Anyone lamenting the fact that Lisa didn't win should look at the current offerings and realize that Lisa cannot save FN with her haute cuisine. If FN wants to fill their schedule with the umpteenth version of "Follow That Food with Gordon Elliott" so be it. The focus is no longer on recipes, at least in primetime where we get to watch people Work For Food, Follow That Food and ask the seemingly endless query How Did That Get On My Plate? +YAWN+

Ed Levine's Serious Diet, Week 24: How Often Should I Weigh Myself?

I recently hit a milestone weight loss of 25 lbs. I have convinced myself that the first 10 was from increasing my water intake to at least 2 litres per day. I weigh myself daily so that, like you, I can monitor my progress, but my official registry of my weight [in a simple word document I created myself] is on Monday mornings. I find that the official weigh-in day is important to my success. I also know that weight loss can vary widely from day to day, but that a weekly weigh-in gives you enough of a look at how you're doing overall. I hope my experiences help, and congratulations and keep up the good work!
