How come sheeee gets to go shopping with the Carson?

I am SO JEALOUS.

I think this cop is more embarassed by the fact that Kyan's body is SO MUCH BETTER than by the fact that Kyan is gay.

Why is this sista with him? He sucks.

I definitely would have taken Ayanna to a salon and had SOMETHING done to the hurh. She's very pretty, I liked the cardigan and the slim pants. And she has the body to do the midriff shirt.

Actually, John didn't look that bad. Usually, the golf cap is played, but it worked for him. And I agree that John was embarrassed that Kyan's body is better than his.

i think it was kyan who hit the nail on the head when he talked about how tough he was acting with them and then turned into this mushy, almost cake, type of dude.

and they absolutely hooked that apartment up. gave me some ideas for my place. i really liked the bedroom

[FeeFee]

I LMBO when John said the word "divine" and the Fab5 said that he was gay.

[CrimsonTide4]

I did not know they put the recipes on the website. I would like to do the creme brulee one day. Anyone wanna buy me a torch?

ASPARAGUS AND PASTA TORTA
As prepared in episode 108.

Here's a colorful, classic Tuscan savory pie that's so rich not even a Sicilian
cop from Staten Island will care that it's meatless. That doesn't necessarily
mean he'll be able to cook it without hurting himself — but you can. It's an
interesting use of pasta, too; it holds everything together.

Servings: 8

Ingredients:
3/4 pound linguine
3 tablespoons olive oil
1 medium carrot, finely chopped
1/2 pound asparagus, chopped into half-inch lengths
1 medium red bell pepper, stemmed, seeded, and finely chopped
4 green onions (scallions), trimmed and chopped into half-inch lengths
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
3 large eggs
2 cups heavy cream
1 cup grated Parmesan cheese

Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Add the pasta and cook for about three
quarters the recommended time for "al dente" — you want it tender, but not
finished. Drain and set aside.

Preheat oven to 350° F

Heat the oil in a large saute pan. Add the vegetables, salt, and pepper and
stir. Saute over medium-high heat, stirring often, until the vegetables are
softened, about 5 minutes. Remove from heat and set aside.

Crack eggs into a large bowl. Whisk in the cream and cheese. Add the cooked
pasta and vegetables and stir to mix. Pour the mixture into an ungreased 10"x8"
baking dish and bake for 40 minutes, until the top is slightly springy when
pressed.

Cut the torta into squares, and serve.

You're going to laugh at me but I detest/am afraid of matches. I have those flicking lighters to light my candles.

As someone who has seen things set on fire accidentally by matches I am not laughing.

PA sees red on
'Queer Eye' cop

By GREG GITTRICH
DAILY NEWS STAFF WRITER


Port Authority Police Officer John Verdi (r.) yielded cop top to Carson Kressley on Tuesday’s 'Queer Eye for the Straight Guy.'

It's perfectly fine for a Port Authority cop to have complete lack of style.
But letting a gay man wear your police uniform on national television? Well, that could get you into trouble.

Officer John Verdi's caveman grooming habits made for many laughs on Tuesday night's edition of "Queer Eye for the Straight Guy."

But folks at the PA - a generally reserved bistate agency were not amused by his appearance on the popular cable show.

PA officials said Verdi, who lives on Staten Island, never got permission to be identified as a PA cop and should not have allowed a civilian to wear his uniform.

The hit reality show's socalled design doctor Thom Filicia and fashion savant Carson Kressley both donned Verdi's blue cop top during a tour of the officer's cozy apartment.

There also was a moment on "Queer Eye" when Kressley pleaded to Verdi: "Cuff me! Cuff me!" ' and the cop attempted to oblige.

It was unclear yesterday whether the PA would try to discipline Verdi, 29, who could not be reached. PA spokesman Greg Trevor said, "We are looking into the matter."

"Queer Eye," which is shown Tuesdays on cable's Bravo channel, was launched on July 15. The makeover show has become the surprise hit of the summer.

On each episode, five gay hosts guide one hapless straight schlep through a fashion and decorating makeover.

Ratings have been so good that NBC, which owns Bravo, repeats "Queer Eye" on Thursdays.

Verdi's appearance will run on NBC tonight at 10 o'clock.

Dating a model

The show finds him in a long-term relationship with an attractive model. Verdi, a stocky man with a shaved head, admits he doesn't even know "what sexy is." So the program's Fab Five show him the arrows to toyland.

They give him a spray-on tan, buy him stylish casual clothes and furniture, cut his gnarly toenails and even teach him how to cook a "man quiche" for his vegetarian galpal.

In the end, the outspoken quintet succeeds in rekindling the romance between Verdi and his girlfriend.

"It was good entertainment," said PA Police Benevolent Association President Gus Danese. "What he did, he did on his own time. He didn't portray the Port Authority in a bad light. It was harmless.

"The Port Authority has got to lighten up and take it for what it was: entertainment."

I agree with the PBA dude. It's entertainment. Poor John shouldn't be disciplined for it. You would think that a police agency would want some POSITIVE publicity...

[CrimsonTide4]

Words/phrases of the night so far @ the end of the first segment:

1. Carson trying on the "man panties"

2. Thom finding the Vickie's Secret catalogue next to the Webster's dictionary. . . **looking at catalogue**"OMG she is very very very. . .**pulling out dictionary**"voluptuous"

3. Bathroom trash can and pre trash can equated to computer recycle bin.

BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

Kudos @ George and his mom for FIGHTING back!!

[Gina1201]

I thought it was so cute that George is named after his mom, Georgia.

Carson is a fool for the "Alexander the Great" comment.

[CrimsonTide4]

I think George is my favorite so far. He really liked the Fab 5 and EMBRACED their changes. He teared up as he was saying good bye to them. It made me and at the same time.

The changes -- can I get a HELL YEAH!!!

[abaici]

I find it so hilarious that the guys are total slobs, but after the changes they are total "queer" guys. As Carson said last week about the police officer, "Look at him jumping up and down like a little girl. He's acting gayer than me"

SOOOOOOOO Funny!


Also, SMH at Carson and the cheap feels! He is tooooo much!

[CrimsonTide4]

IF GEORGE did not get some THAT night from Turquoise Top Tiffany, she gave him some by week's end.

Last night was the best evolution. For once a guy's house was not FOUL, just in need of better furniture.

[FeeFee]

So far, George is my favorite make-over guy. I loved the fact that he defended his mother, even at the expense of taking a bullet for her. CT4, I think Ms. Turquoise Top Tiffany gave up the panties too - LOL!!!

I'm sooo glad that his house was not a pig-sty. It just needed fixing up, that's all.

He has friends who are very supportive of him, which is always good.

LOL @ Carson and "Alexander the Great"
LOL@ those three women watching George trying on his clothes

I thought Carson was trying to pimp George at one point @ the clothing store - LOL!!

George was such a willing participant - good boy!!!
