I’m still stinging from Steph’s loss two years ago. Star Baker for pretty much every episode, but one bad bake loses it for her, while the winner was uneven all season? I mean, that’s just fucked up. This season, though, anything goes. They’re all amazing. Everyone deserves to win.  Read more

Beets have been a major source of sugar for centuries! In fact, I believe that the majority of global beet farming is still for sugar production. Not going to look that up, though, because it’s too early on a Monday for me to go down a beet farming rabbit hole. Someone Google this! Read more

I honestly can’t think of a single season where I wanted everyone to win. And as a recapper, this season has been a blessing. So much material to work with!  Read more

He’s like a German Winnie the Pooh. They could make plush toys out of him.  Read more

Hey, I still need a villain! One more episode left, and it can’t be Chigs or Crystelle. Giuseppe’s overqualified, and as an American of Italian heritage, I know my people can’t be trusted. If I was in the tent, I wouldn’t want any of you bastards to trust me. It’s all fun and games with us... til it’s not. Read more

Damn straight she is. Kinda shipping her and Chigs pretty hard. Read more

Well now I’m disappointed it wasn’t a euphemism. Read more

I had a graphic that got cut for time. Trying to post it here in the comments, but Kinja won’t let me. Read more

It is not easy to make a tree like that! If either of those cookies broke, he was fucked. And cutting/baking them so perfectly they slid together without a hitch? 10x more difficult than Giuseppe’s rice krispy centerpiece.  Read more

You forgot about the French.  Read more

This might very well be the best season of the post-Mary Berry era.  Read more

‘Tis! You should try it. Even if it’s not perfect, it’ll be amazing.  Read more

Answered in more detail in another comment, but ask your grocery store’s manager! They’re happy to help.  Read more

They might stock them around this time of year. They’re not a huge seller outside of the winter months, particularly around the holidays. Remember: if you can’t find something at your supermarket, ask the manager if he’ll order it! They’re already ordering shittons of frozen vegetables, so it should be no problem to… Read more

That’s a fantastic idea! Read more

Yup! Read more

YOU’RE WELCOME.  Read more

I know you meant Whoppers, but Whoopers are an exponentially better name, and I shall be calling them that from now on. Thank you for this gift.  Read more

When I write for print, months. I’m already sick of Thanksgiving food by August. This is why for the holiday, we go out for Indian food.  Read more

I need a “villain” every season; it’s not my fault everyone on this season is perfect! Chigs can’t be the villain because he’s too hot, it can’t be Crystelle because no one with a pet cactus can be bad, and it can’t be Jurgen because after that baby business I have no idea what he’s capable of.
