Worst Cooks last night: I totally agree with Bobby's choice...she didn't seem like she wanted to learn and get better, that she was doing just fine on her own. And Anne...was there really any other choice?

Yeah, Sherrill, while nice enough, seemed kind of delusional about her skills, and Rachel the Hipstress just wanted to be on TV.
I'm pleasantly surprised by how patient and laid-back Bobby is.

Agree about Bobby.
I think you're right about Rachel - those HUGE glasses screamed fake. I don't know why she did SO bad as to get kicked off so soon...you would think a TV whore would have tried to stay around awhile. You can play inept like she was but then pull it together and put decent food on the plate.

And the sense of humor he is showing. It is a pleasant surprise.
And I agree there were no other choices last night.
My kids will wail, though, if Erica goes home. She cracks them up. (Mom and me too.)

Which one is Erica? I can't keep them straight....
Ok, and I laughed about Sarena? garnishing with saffron, but you can bet that if it were in my basket, I'd sure as heck incorporate it somewhere!

Erica is the middle-aged woman who cuts jalapeños with scisscors.  I think either she or Sarina will be next to go on Bobby's team and Bennett on Anne's team.

Oh, yes - she is great!
Why do you think Sarina will go? I think she proved that she understands rule #1 of cooking is that we eat first with our eyes...some others have yet to get that.

Hmmm ... I guess you have a point (about the saffron, right?). I thought her noodles were kinda scary, plus her voice bugs big-time. She's another one I suspect is trying to be a "personality."

And who can't say "tofu."
I don't know that she'll be the next to go. Bobby was talking last night about her potential, and she seems to try hard. Maybe I'm totally misreading the editing, but I keep thinking they're foreshadowing that she'll be around a while. It would make a good story -- if Bobby can teach her, he can teach anybody.

Yes, her plate looked great. But, I can see what you mean about her being made for TV.

She can't go because she makes such good TV. Rachel really wasn't adding to the show the way Erica does, which is why Erica is more forgiveable.

Since yesterday was Shrove Tuesday, I made pancakes for supper last night and I decided to try Chef Anne's trick of beating the egg whites and then folding them into the batter. We like!

Good to know. I was excited because pumpkin pancakes are my favorite. Yes, I know MC, you don't like pumpkin. Since having them a year and a half ago at the Carolina RenFest, my kids now ask for crêpes instead of pancakes. Last Saturday it was candied acorn squash stuffed crêpes.

Pain Perdu should be illegal on Chopped. If they're going to do it, they should at least be required to admit that they made frickin' French Toast.
