Was connecting my laptop to my phone on the train this afternoon when I can across: Spaceballs the wifi hotspot

No notes!

Team GRAVY

but also, Team PUFF PASTRY

I didn't expect the croquetas to be so creamy on the inside. Cooked the chicken in milk with a shit ton of herbs. Then cubed the chicken and made a paste out of the strained milk with more herbs and seasoning. Made balls, froze balls, battered balls, fried balls, ate balls. Mmm... balls.

Dinner is served... cod pipérade, croquetas de pollo, gratin dauphinois, and roast asparagus.

The most important part of it (from the white house perspective) is that we should stop talking about the Epstein Files.

truth!

An image of text saying "release the amelia earhart epstein files." where amelia earhart is crossed out

Fuck all of this nonsense... Not quite 50
yet and everything about this well used body feels old. I'm sure it's all down hill
from here, but let's be honest about it folks. 🤣

JFC, can we all move there to vote for "not that"?

Not that any of us would vote for her anyway, but, just, wow.

Three homemade baguettes sitting on a wooden cutting board with a bread knife nearby

In spite of all the atrocities, baguettes...

More importantly, what uses *that* door?!?

A brindle patterned english mastiff lying on a beige carpeted floor. It has been photoshopped with with walrus tusks

I brought this walrus home with me one day and my life has been better for it (badly photoshopped walrus tusks added by a friend) 🤣

An english mastiff stares out the window past red curtains with a couple stringers of drool on his chin

I'm not saying Atlas hates everyone on the other side of that window, but it's close

Oof dah, but also yeah

A white doofus of a cat lying on a sheepskin rug before a brick lined fireplace

If snatched by an eagle, the black one would snuggle it for warmth, the grey would fight to the inevitable end, and the white would be all, "Where are we going? Wheeeeee! Ow! That's not the proper way to groom me! Bring me tuneh worthy of the dark laird..."

I think maybe you're thinking of Godwin's Law... or wait, are you trying to draw me jn to a double Poe?!? Epic!

A white cat, grey cat, and black cat sitting on a windowsill gazing at something in the distance

Oh, these fools would be bold right up until the end. House cats know no fear.

Don't make us Poe's Law you

A northern flicker with black spots on their white belly and grey and red cheecks and tail hanfs from a suet feeder with trees and a grey home in the background

All I need to do is move this feeder about five feet and I win.

Wait... do the birds need to stay alived? I'm concerned about the cats.

for her and feeds her a bite of his cooking. That whole relationship was gross and could have been left out of the series entirely.

The finale tried to cover way too much ground and failed to go anywhere interesting while also losing the heart of what made the show somewhat palatable.

🧵 end

And instead have the King inexplicably show up and kick the fake reviewer out (instead of getting run over by a car or just dying in a gutter due to lack of cell phone). Cut to a final scene where the penultimate master/servant relationship is turned on its head as he appears to have cooked...

5/🧵

but none of the hilarity.

Protag wakes back up in the present having been in a coma, and goes on to have some Wizard of Oz moments while agreeing to help her old restaurant out with an upcoming Michelin star review. We hand wave away the cooking and the eating (best part of the show).

4/🧵

Badly choreographed and unnecessary action scenes take up the first half of the episode, with a shockingly overacted goodbye as the main character jumps back to the future. The big bad getting back on his feet for one last attempt at the king had all the riz of the Temple of Doom rock crusher,

3/🧵

The majority of the show is a kitschy lightweight drama with GBBO / Iron Chef vibes & some hilarious food consumption reactions and animations.

That last episode was a train wreck of epic proportions. A complete departure from the food theme except for a groaningly bad journey to a bi bim bap.

2/🧵

Bon Appétit, Your Majesty (TV Series 2025) ⭐ 8.2 | Drama, Fantasy, History 1h 20m | TV-14

m.imdb.com/title/tt3760...

Very much a meh out of five stars for us.

Enjoyed the series as something lightweight for distracted viewing right up until the last cooking scene in the second to last episode. Recommend just stopping there if you get that far.

1/🧵

Not the ignoble award we asked for, but the one we deserved

A chocolate babka in a cast iron bread pan on a white countertop

Mmm... babka happened today

Damn! Why you coming at me like that?

I've got the time sense thing, too, but not the difficulty with estimation. I know darn well that the household task I've been putting off for 6 months is going to take 10 minutes. Max. 🫠

So many memorable moments in this one.

Son. You got a panty on your head.
