Hats off to new Top Chef

YAY !!!!! New season of Top Chef. Brian read all the bios yesterday on Bravo.com and sort of rated the beginning class of losers. He picked right on who would leave at the end of the show today. We'll see if he gets the rest correct.

He likes Carla because her special ingredients are chocolate and butter and her specialty is pie making. The man loves his pies...


REgarding food: the beans that we canned dry and covered with boiling water popped a lot of their lids. Every morning we would wake up to the sound of lids popping, so we put the rest of them into the freezer. We haven't noticed any of the cooked beans popping yet. Justin's mom does hers without cooking them first, and doesn't have any problems.... but she is at 7500 feet and we are at like 40 feet. We figure that must make a difference.

Hmmmmm. That's interesting about the beans. At least you don't have to feel quite as bad about them as you would if it were the cooked ones that were popping...since you put so much more work into the cooked ones. The other method did seem too good to be true.
