Is this Sharnick's music?  Has anyone heard anything about the dances or music?  I guess we are not the only ones who are kind of pokey this week.

View, I'd like to guess that Sharnick will top the leader board this week and Andy goes home.  Just another SWAG but why not?!

Thanks!

Wish I could stay and chat.  So many sisters' comments I want to respond to.  Well, here's a brief version:

Luv, hubby had a crunch wrap !!  

Tango, I hope things work out for you with jury duty...Wouldn't that be the biggest bummer!!!  I looked at your son's rescue dog - and love it.  But am mesmerized by the picture next to it of homemade deliciousness.  Can you share the recipe?


 

Hey, View!  I don't really have it written down.  It's a poutine which is the national dish of Quebec.   It's one of those comfort foods that can be a delicacy, or it can be disgusting (ie. don't ever have it at McDonalds in Canada).   Essentially, a poutine is crispy French fries, brown gravy and fresh cheese curd (the kind that squeaks when you bite into it.)   

I like to make it when I've made a roast and have good homemade brown gravy, but you can make your own gravy from scratch with beef broth, if necessary.   The potatoes need to be thoroughly soaked in cold water and rinsed several times and then double fried, so they are as crispy as possible. 

I make my own cheese curd because I can't buy it where I live.  It's not difficult.  I just bought a cheese making kit online and followed the instructions.   So you put the cheese curd on top of the fries and cover with hot gravy.

I've seen a number of variations.  My favorites are adding pulled pork barbecue to it, or I've had a lobster poutine made with fries and cheese curd of course, then fresh lobster meat and a white sauce.  Sometime I'll post the before and after picture I took, where I all but licked the plate clean.

 

 
Tango....that sounds very intriguing.  I'd be game to try making it if I knew what it was supposed ot look like!  I think perhaps we could get cheese curd at Trader Joe's out here.  Probably not as good as yours, but....

I won't be on during the show tomorrow.  We have a 2 1/2 hours feeding therapy session with the speech pathologist to try to extend the range of food my son is willing to eat.  So I am armed with a long shopping list of groceries to bring to the school kitchen tomorrow.  Our biomedical doctor told me that I need to get m little guy to eat bone broth and avocados.  I coaxed him to try some of my homemade guacamole with a big Lego packet as reward.  Result:  projectile vomiting through the living room.....  Food aversions are hard to understand, but very real.     I'm glad it's our speech pathologist tomorrow and not me.  It could get interesting!!  Wish us luck!
