Hungover

So I just watched TC Just Desserts last night-blame it on my busy week of exams, class, internship, work and the gym.

It's time for this week's dish on dessert-so I'm pretty sure the oven fumes are getting to Seth. He went ba-na-nas, but not in the good Rachel Zoe way, more like Kelly talking about 'being a cook, not a chef' way. Okay-I can understand that the Quickfire Challenge [penny candy inspired dessert] was for his mother, and when he failed, he took it harder than usual, but really Seth, get a grip. The guest judge, Elizabeth Falkner, had to hug it out with him. The Elimination Challenge was to make a dessert inspired by a cocktail. What, no SkinnyGirl Margarita? What kind of Bravo show is this? The cheftestants got to do some bar tending for their ingredients. So if Seth's previous breakdown wasn't enough, he had to get behind the bar and act like an angry alcoholic. I know I've mentioned it before, but seriously-I love Zac. How stinking adorable is he? And he even helped out Seth-the-Spastic. And what does Seth do? Bumps into Zac's tray of chocolate squares. Way to go, Seth, way to go. I also like Yigit, because his name is Yigit. Enough said.

Congratulations to Danielle for the QF win with her dirt pudding inspired dish and to Erica for her Elimination Challenge win with her Margarita Bombe!

Be sure to tune in this Wednesday @ 10/9c

PS: Would it be totally lame to dress up as different Real Housewives for Halloween?

May Induce Drooling

So I just got to watch Top Chef: Just Desserts last night. I know, I know. I'm like way behind and I feel like a hypocrite because I was raving about how stoked I was for the premiere. Listen, my roommate made cookies and I got distracted and missed it. Can you blame me? I missed Just Desserts for a dessert. I think that justifies it. She made little doozies, and they rocked my world [I think she's putting up the recipe on her blog so check it out: sometimeshavingitall.blogspot.com].

Okay, so I love Zac-he's hilarious. Already have my fan favorite. Plus, he spells his name like Zac Efron. And that scores major points for him. Speaking of Zefron, did you see his perv beard/stach/soul patch look going on? Why Zac, why? Maybe he's trying to scare Vanessa off so that we can be together. Oh yeah-Bravo.

The quickfire was to make a cupcake of their signature dishes. I love cupcakes. I feel like these so-called "pastry chefs" would be able to make a cupcake, but apparently not all of them can. Congrats to Seth for winning with his basil cupcake! Such a weird twist of flavors, but it looked delicious. I think Seth will be a top contender, but we'll see what happens.

The elimination challenge was to make a decadent chocolate dessert. A lot of the chefs acted like using chocolate was the worst, but isn't that like the most common ingredient in desserts? Tania's dessert was uh-gooey, but not in that warm gooey brownie way. Maybe she should have had flour in her flourless torte. I think we all knew who was being sent home. Mazel to Heather H. for winning with her Dark Chocolate Mousse Torte-it looked mega delicious.

We have another Texan to root for-Morgan. Too bad he's a douchebag. Don't blame Texas upbringing though, because he's originally from California [no offense]. We are trying our best to make a Southern gentleman out of him, give us time.

Looking forward to next week! Bring on the dessert loving!
