You are so right! I love the cooking space set up in the huge marquis in that lush green field. And of course the contestants have all worked very hard at learning how to bake the very tricky items, so they are indeed skilled. It is a real pleasure to watch!

From today’s Telegraph:
... relations with the White House's top coronavirus experts are under increasing strain, with the president insisting that the United States is "in a good place" despite a record number of daily infections this week.
Strange. I never pictured him as the Black Knight, but it certainly is a fit.

How could we have missed Silent Witness on Prime? There are 21 seasons! Starting it now, and after just one season, we are COMPLETELY hooked. Amanda Burton plays a brilliant pathologist who is willing to step on toes (not the cadavers’) in order to do the right thing for victims.

I want to watch this with serafina, on a Friday night with lots of wine, and no cake.
Here’s a description from the NYT.
“The Netflix series “Nailed It!” is ... a reality competition series in which amateur bakers make and decorate devilishly intricate desserts, “Nailed It!” is named after the exclamation said bakers have to make when they unveil their inevitably cursed looking creations.
It’s that moment that elicits the most laughter from my family. These cakes often seem like they are genuinely in pain, and the faces made by the comedian Nicole Byer (who co-hosts alongside the pastry chef Jacques Torres) are eminently GIF-able. It’s a cooking show you can binge without ever feeling hungry afterward.”

Yeah, this observation was clearly before we became mini-Russia. There is reason to hope we can get that freedom back in 2021.

You’ve just taken me on a trip down memory lane, GlasgowJohn . I’d forgotten some of these, and am completely unfamiliar with a couple of them. (How could I never have heard “butty” or “sarni,” when my student budget meant that these, usually bread and cheese, constituted my diet, month after month? And wait - - wasn’t this named for the Earl of Sandwich???)
I remember wanting to bake the cookies I was homesick for, and asking the grocer for chocolate chips, sending a shopgirl running for a barf bucket.

That there is no intelligent life in the WH? No, that was @richietog’s observation.
oh! You mean the 1/100th tweet? Well yes he did. The Huffington Post link shows his tweet along with humorous put-downs. -
Since America is fair game for Americans and non-Americans alike, let’s start with this!

richietog , this ones for you.
“Let's break this shitshow of a tweet down.
1) 1/100th doesn't mean what you think it means.
2) Other countries are testing more and doing better.
3) Testing fewer people doesn't mean we have fewer cases. Just means we've found fewer cases.
4) You are fucking awful at math.” -
I know just how that woman felt, being dragged from the table like that! It happens to me at least once a week.

Excellent! And you will definitely make sure everyone keeps a LONG distance away from you!

But what is your follow up act, when they come back, Mckenna ? Do you have to keep stocking the shelf with inedibles/undrinkables?

These photographs perfectly capture the attitudes of Oxonians in my brief time there. Brash, fearless of consequences, entitled.

If the gloves fit over your nose and mouth, why not?

I don’t like wearing a mask either. At all.
But I REALLY don’t like the idea of getting this virus.
Splinter, I wouldn’t think you would need one when you are zooming around on the bike, not at all close to other people? -
I know I must have a favorite among these three, but I’m REALLY having trouble choosing from such superior candidates!
