Picked up the groceries.
Cooked with friends ; )
Hung out with chefs.

This is the full episode of Jake on Molto Mario doing desserts.
And even cooked on TV himself.

At the moment Jake can't enjoy a lot on his strict PoP training but that's not say we can't.
Reminder: OMG's JFC Discussion of His Visit: Day Two Continued begins Friday November 14th at 5:00 EST and continues through Saturday, November 15th.
Jake was with Mags and Mom on two Molto Marios. One about gnocchi and then one just on desserts.
ReplyDeleteOf course Jake being Jake makes a goofy joke when Mario is taking about taking some bench flour as he is working the gnocchi dough. Asking is the bench flour made our of benches?
Mario responds exactly like I would - yes it's made from finely ground benches.
Episodes are fun to watch, and you can tell that Jake really loves cooking with family and friends.
My step mom is a better baker than cook, my step sister always says that baking is her love gift to people. It's so true. Not a bad gift to have.
yeah, rub it in, Wicked
ReplyDeletelol
Girl, I never watch anything in real time. 'Cept sports.
I have always loved this song. Ha!
ReplyDeleteLooking forward to our cooking klatch, and I don't think I'ver ever seen the Molto Mario episodes. I'll look forward to watching them latah! :)
Baking and baked gifts are so nice do at the holidays. :)
Still trying to decide what recipes I want to bring next week. Too many that are good. And I think there are one or two vegetarian hiding in my stash : )
ReplyDeleteI can't say everything I've made has turned out well. I just chalk those up as experiments. Well that didn't work. Sometimes just goofing off I hit on something and I think - damn that's good.
Reese expects wedding to happen sometime in 2009
ReplyDeleteAhhh, I had to google "klatch". a casual social gathering, usually for conversation. Where do you hear these words, Special?
ReplyDeleteI'll try to keep my recipes short. Kacie, I have a good sugar free gelatin salad that my family has now every Thanksgiving. My dad is diabetic and my sister is on the bubble but has been doing real well watching what she eats so she can try & avoid medication.
Always a caution, you all, when you have physical tendencies that run on one or especially both sides of the family. If your physician doesn't ask during your annual, then you mention it to him/her. Because alot of things are just in your genetics/heredity. Several of my mom's sisters had stomach aneurysms (sp) and I told my mom she should get checked out because of that. Sure enough, she had an ultrasound done and she had one, even though she had had no symptoms whatsoever. Now, she just gets checked every year, I think, so they can keep an eye on it. That's the thing. If we can keep an eye on things & monitor them, trouble can alot of times be detected early and headed off at the pass. So, I'm shaking my finger at everyone here and asking you to be aware of not only for yourself, but your friends & family members.
Girl, I never watch anything in real time. 'Cept sports
real time. lol. Yeah, you're lucky you have a TIVO/DVR, Wicked. Me? Still using the prehistoric VCR.
Jake was hilarious on Molto, only because he's always kind of a corny guy. I've not seen the one on desserts, though. I saw the one where he was on there with his mom & his sister. When he was cooking on Ellen, that was a kneeslapper. Ellen was stressing him out. He even said "You're stressing me out!" And what he cooked; especially the dessert - it looked dreadful. lol. I'm sure he is a fantastic cook and Ellen did have him on a timer in that episode. That would stress anybody out.
I can't say everything I've made has turned out well. I just chalk those up as experiments.
Lol, what bombs have you made, Special? I can't get the hang of yeast. Yeast & I do not get along. I cannot ever get my bread/cinnamon rolls to rise. They were more like biscuits, lol. Also had some nobake cookies that were immediately sent into the garbage because they just wouldn't set.
Hey, like the avatar? Isn't he nasty? That's T-Bag from Prison Break. It's kind of embarrassing to admit he does it for me. At least he did during the season when he was in prison. Right now, he's out in civilian clothes, imitating a businessman and he's just not as effective, lol. I wish I knew what it was, maybe I don't want to know.
LOL PG. I've mostly given up on trying to figure out why certain people do it for me, particularly when it is a far cry from my usual tastes. There are times when I've found nasty or sleazy bad boys appealing, not that I can think of any off the top of my head.
ReplyDeleteCute post today. I haven't watched those clips of Jake either, maybe this weekend I'll find time to finally see them.
I have one recipe in mind for next week. I hope this isn't going to be a competition to see who can come up with the most or I may be in trouble. :-D
Wow, sorry for the long post; just noticed how long it was.
ReplyDeleteROFL - Thanks, lol, for that post. I needed a laugh today at work. We've been slammed with orders today and it is not fun. That article is a hoot. Hoot with a capital h, o, o, and t. Guess they need to get something out there since it's been DULLSVILLE with them. They are totally out of the public eye and that is never good for a celebrity, I don't care who you are. Out of sight, out of mind. All you have to do is look at Jake's blogs and well, you know what I'm talking about. And I like how we've seen Reese over in London a ton of times, enjoying the new London lovenest. Whatever happened with that?
Real Homebodies. LOL! Close to her kids. LOL! Chemistry. LOL! Man. I can't keep my posture straight in my chair. Give me a break. That was funny.
She should be getting ready to be promoting her movie since it opens Thanksgiving, right? Is it opening with Australia? I'm sure 4 Christmases is going to do well, though. Everyone loves a holiday comedy. I wish I could go see it; I love Vince Vaughn. But my $5 is staying in my wallet on this one.
I would love to see Australia, though. Heavy sigh. Hugh Jackman and Nicole Kidman. The previews look pretty sighworthy. I think Nicole is so elegant. And with Hugh Jackman? Wow. I am looking forward to that one.
Well, everybody's back here & we gotta get back to work. Have a great afternoon.
Hey Destinyy! I know, isn't T Bag bad? It's kinda embarrassing. He is the sleaziest of the sleaze on that show, too.
ReplyDeleteDid you ever see the episode of Seinfeld where George Castanza tried to be a "bad" boy and he attracted some worker of Elaine's? That episode was hilarious.
No, no competition for most recipes. If everybody contributes, the post is going to be one loooooong one, you know that? What is your go-to recipe, Destiny? Your no fail, try it on everybody recipe?
Okay, I'm done. I know I said I was earlier but Destiny, I saw you on here and I had to say hi. And you really need to watch Jake on Molto. It's pretty entertaining only because he's so....ordinary. lol.
Ciao.

ReplyDeleteLethal scorpion sparks panic on set of Prince of Persia
ReplyDeleteA lethal scorpion brought panic to the set of a multi-million pound Disney epic after it was found scurrying across a studio floor.
Shooting of Disney movie Prince of Persia starring Gemma Arterton and Jake Gyllenhaal was disrupted after after the poisonous creature was spotted by a horrified member of studio staff with its sting aloft.
Staff raised the alarm and the black scorpion was trapped in a bucket by a member of studio staff, and then taken away by a volunteer to the Animal Reception Centre (ARC) at Heathrow Airport.
The scorpion had been in stowed away gear from filming in Morocco.
That wasn't a scorpipn, it was just Reese on one of her visits to England. She was there attaching Jake's leash so she could take him to buy coffee, shop and look at houses. The crew member apologized to PETA for the confusion between distingushing a scorpipn and Reese-the crew member said it was the pointy chin and the poisionous stinger that looked the same.
ReplyDeleteA studio insider speaking to the Daily Mail said yesterday filming was stopped after the scorpion was discovered - and there were fears more may have bred in the Buckinghamshire studio.
ReplyDeleteThis would totally freak me out! I would be bug bombing like you would not believe!
Daddys a great cook! He makes me really good delicious one dish meals all the time. So good I even lick the plate after I'm done.
ReplyDeleteForgot to tell you guys- when I was at the Eagles game on Sunday night they flashed a picture on the Jumbotron of Joe Biden sitting at the game with Eagles owner Jeff Lurie. Unfortunately Eagles fans are really hating Lurie right now, so they were roundly booed!
ReplyDeleteYou just know we're going to be hearing about that scorpion when Jake makes the rounds for PoP. Remember the story he told about Rendition, wasn't it a toad?
ReplyDeleteA poisonous toad!
ReplyDeleteJake should not convert into Christianity if he marries Reese. He's a Jewish boy. Naomi will be furious. She didn't name her son Jacob for some chick to take him away from his roots. I knew Reese would have a problem with him being Jewish. I just knew it.
ReplyDeleteYou listen here Witherspoon: if you presumably love him, love him for who he is.
LOL
ReplyDeleteNo need to get pissed off about In Touch bullshit fiction.
That In Touch story proves no only that it's a Reeke PR plant, but that Reeke's PR reads all the blogs. The one thing that all the blogs say about Reeke is that they have zero chemistry. So we get a source saying what great chemistry they have. Reese must be sweating it. Jake's still out of the country, so she can't book weekly photo shoots, looks like her Vogue cover didn't sell many issues and her upcoming movie looks like another bomb. Gotta keep Reeke's name in the rags somehow.
ReplyDeleteGotta stretch out the Reeke! Remember they were supposed to get married in summer before Pop started, then at MV in October, then at end of this year on Jakes birthday, now its sometime in 2009. This latest installment will be the excuse used by PR for demanding no relationship/Jake questions be asked during the Four Christmases junket in the next 2 weeks because the postponement will be a sensitive subject with Reese. It's a very difficult time for her now but she's holding off on the wedding because she loves Jake so much. Of course being the highest paid Oscar-winning actress and producer and Avon Global Ambassador and great mom that she is, she'll put on a brave face and do her movie promotion duties even though she's heartbroken over the postponed wedding plans. What a wonderful woman she is.
ReplyDeleteI bet that Reese, that wonderful mother that she is, will give us a 4 day long Reeke photo shoot on Thanksgiving weekend from London. Ryan has the kids that day according to Abbie Cornish, so Reese will just have to upstage that. What better way than to leave your kids with their father on a long holiday weekend to go spend time with her "boyfriend" so she can have a whole bunch of photo ops.
ReplyDeleteAnd shopping! you forgot shopping!
ReplyDeleteITA, Really Pissed!
ReplyDeleteThe crew member apologized to PETA for the confusion between distingushing a scorpipn and Reese . . .
Very funny! ;)
Hey, just got back not too long ago from the protest against the Mormon Church. It was amazing. The protest was in front of the Temple, which for those with any knowledge of NYC, is across from Lincoln Center. Then we marched 7 blocks down Broadway, one side of which was closed to traffic, to Columbus Circle, and part of the circle was closed to traffic too. I head one of the marshals say there was 10,000 people, another said 15,000. It felt so good to get out there and protest.
ReplyDeleteCompared to that, In Touch is pretty trivial business. But I still have to comment, even if it is "fiction". This seeming need to make Jake more acceptable to even more of the masses by playing up the religion card really bothers me. To me it's no different than the homophobia--i.e., that being Jewish is not as good as being Christian.
check out tonights Reese's CMA red carpet pics. The beard has a mustache and wearing a black dress with white adhesive bra strips. WTF???? LOL
ReplyDeleteGetting my stinger ready, that is the funniest thing I've read in a long time. Thanks for putting a big smile on my face.
ReplyDeleteI actually saw a scorpion here in CA once. In a newly opened restaurant restroom no less. The construction was in a remote area and must have disturbed them. It was a small one though. I hightailed it out of there quick.

ReplyDeleteI find this really troubling as well, Destiny.
Wow, sounds like a great turnout for the protest. I'll bet it really does feel good to get out there and be heard. :*
It does sound like a great turnout Destiny. Remember to check Join the Impact for ways you can get involved.
ReplyDeleteSadly I can't make it on Saturday I will be working my church ladies hard for the Annual Christmas Fair but I told friends at work about the protest and they are going to go. And they've told friends. There's always something that can be done. And every little bit helps.
HEYYYYYYYYY! WHOOOHOOOOOO!!!!
ReplyDeleteBlogger's back! Yeaaaaa! It looks like it's fixed.
hmmm. kinda sad when something like that gets one excited, lol!
Like at work when I get excited over my office supplies. Today, two stamps the recept. ordered for me came in so I can stamp!stamp! away on my bills of lading and I was so excited when they came down the tubes. Can't wait to use them.
Shoot, I'm so glad Blogger got this problem fixed. I got so tired of entering through that script error every time I wanted to comment. The little "B" is back beside people's names. Can't believe it bothered me that much, but apparently it did. This is great. :)
I hope people aren't going to get too worked up over this In Touch story. That thing is just positively laughable. Everytime a planted story comes out, it's something totally different from the last one. PR changes stories like I used to change radio stations in my car. Every 30 seconds. I do agree with you on your point, Destiny. Why does a mention have to be made on making Jake convert? That's a huge decision, not one to make light of or a rag mention. Even if it is bologna, why make it up at all?
And Destiny, great for you for joining in the march. That's fantastic - sounds like a great turnout. Let the numbers be heard.
Haven't done this in awhile, but can I request a song sometime, Special & Wicked? If it can ever be worked into a post? It's "Seasons of Love", by Tracie Thoms/Jesse L. Martin/Cast of Rent from the soundtrack of Rent. Have you guys ever used that one yet? Am I a day late & a dollar short? Gosh, I love that song. It's got the greatest lyrics and it's a great one to sing out loud, who cares if anyone's listening. Have you heard it? Anyway, if it works out sometime, that'd be cool.
525,600 minutes..525,000 moments so dear...525,600 minutes...how do you measure, measure a year? In daylight, in sunsets, in midnights & cups of coffee, in inches, in miles, in laughter, in strife. 525,600 minutes - how do you measure a year in the life? How about love? How about love? How about love? Measure in love. Seasons of love. lyrics - Jonathan Larson
Everyone have a good night's sleep - sweet dreams and all that.
Thanks PG - goodnight to you and all at OMG! :*
ReplyDeleteCooking "experiments"
ReplyDeleteIf you are going to put cucumber on pizza - do it after its cooked, don't try to cook it. I was trying to do a Thai style pizza with peanut sauce base, chicken etc. Oh those poor guys who ate that pizza.
Mustard rubbed pork - in theory it's supposed to work - in reality it didn't come out like it was planned.
Cauliflower should never go tan - I was a kid - and what kid should really making cauliflower?
Another kid disaster - making my own croutons - why ? Who knows. I was 10. But I wanted to make them. What I did I do - used like mega melted butter and them made giant ones that were pretty much crunchy on the outside and a ooze of butter inside.
Best cooking disaster evah! - Jello. Red Jello. Made it - it was getting into the fridge. Galley kitchen, brand new beige flooring. Slipped on the new floor jello up in the air - and I did it, hit the ceiling the floor and both walls in all one shot. Yeah I'm talented.
No we haven't used Seasons of Love -from Rent yet. So we will put that on the list.
ReplyDeleteBut I now I will clunk you PG because will have that song playing my head the rest of the night. Of course I change all the words - like you didn't think I would?
Oh Spesh - what a disastah with the Jell-O! lol If you wanna make an omelet, ya gotta break a few eggs, right? I've blocked all of my cooking disasters out of my mind. You sound like a great, adventuresome cook tho. That Thai pizza sounds great. Good night! :*
ReplyDeleteWhy does a mention have to be made on making Jake convert?
ReplyDeleteEasy. 1. to show he loves Reese so much he's willing to forgo his religious beliefs 2. to show he wants to marry Reese so badly he'll change religions if he has to 3. it implies them having children together in future and raising them in one religion. 4. plants the seed as reason for breakup
Makes no sense considering neither Stephen nor Naomi converted when they married and had Maggie and Jake.
ReplyDeleteMy kid cooking disaster was I decided to make a pizza. I started out making dough, it was too thick so I added water. Too watery and thin so I added more flour, back and forth for a long time. I ended up with a huge mountain of dough decided I didn't want to make pizza after all and crammed it down the kitchen sink drain so no one would see it. It clogged up the system and a plumber had to come in and clean out all the pipes.
ReplyDeleteI am not sure why you waste your time reading and taking seriously crap like in-touch. There is no wedding, no conversion to anything. I doubt Jake is much into religion of any sort, actually. Sure PR basks into these rumors but I don't think any junk out on those mags comes from a pr memo.
ReplyDeleteAnyone wanna bet when summer of 2009 comes around the wedding will be put off till J's b'day in winter 09? That's if they're still bearding together. lol
ReplyDeleteDavid O. Russell is back and this time working with Matthew McConaughey on Crackle. Matthew will play a barroom brawler who hires himself out to settle things for those who can't afford a lawyer.
ReplyDeleteLaid back McBongo - and wound up Russell. This will be interesting to hear about. You think Jake will give Matt and advice or just let him experience Russell in full force?
Variety
junk, we're not taking it seriously. I hope I speak for the majority on this one when I say this, lol? We're just wondering why on earth you would even say such a thing in a planted (fictional) story. And actually, then What a Stretch very expertly explained. We're not buying it, believe me. It's such a laugher of a story. Didn't you see me earlier in the day, falling out of my office chair guffawing?
ReplyDeleteWell, the man speaketh. Thanks to someone's link over on WFT2 this morning, looks like Jakey G is going to be on ET tonight. And right when I'm in the middle of a great storyline on 7th Heaven on WGN, too. I can't believe it. What has it been, like a year's drought? The guy's voicebox has returned.
Chris & Special, if it hadn't been 4 o'clock when I read your stories, I would've been letting out a howl. As it was, I had to cover my mouth and laugh. I love cooking stories. Those were classic. Thanks for the laugh; it was great.
flf, you say it exactly. Their plans keep changing with the tide and as it suits. Oh, I've got to go!
Have a great day. Still humming & hitting Repeat on Seasons of Love. What a wonderful, wonderful song that guy wrote. He had it right.
