GoT Recap... "A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms"

Image
     As quickly as this story is developing, there is an EXTENSIVE amount of attention to small details in setting it up… We get MORE reunions though; Dany confronting the man who killed her father, Brienne vouching for Jaimie, Jorah giving his family weapon to Jorah, the so-believed “victims” of the Beyond the Wall dummy mission actually making it back and Tormund hilariously continuing to shoot his shot with Brienne.      Bran caught us with his MAJOR ability to throw shade with his “the things we do for love…” and “how do you know there will be a ‘later’?” lines.   He can surely drag a room back to reality quickly.   It calls back to my memory when he cut Littlefinger off with his own “chaos is a ladder” line to let us all know he should be feared.   What scares me here is that he presents himself to know everything and somehow at the same time just not quite enough at the same time. That he knows The Night King i...

Phood Phun With Phlip... Pardon Our Dust

     Please bear with us this week, folks.  Two kitchens are becoming one, so all of our stuff is somewhere in the in-between.  Tuesday posts are the ones we have not yet built a cache of yet, so that means we are without a post this week. We will use this opportunity and space to recap the things we HAVE done, though.      Spaghetti Zoodles and Sauce : An intro to substitutions.  Properly used, zucchini will become one of the most versatile things in your entire kitchen.      Fried Chicken Breakfast Sliders : Speaking of switch-ups…  We’ve been frying chicken wrong our entire lives.  All of us.  Also, “low-carb” doesn’t necessarily mean “no bread” either.      Cauliflower Croquettes : A dish I created with potatoes a long time ago goes over JUST as swimmingly with cauliflower.      Curried Fish and Spicy Ginger Cabbage : Phlip: “WE MUST ...

Some Thoughts on Game of Thrones S7E7

(Warming up for the Winter Olympics next year) Okay, so apparently the word “spearchucking” is offensive to some people.  Like, even when describing someone who is depicted ACTUALLY throwing a fucking spear. I won’t apologize. Warning : I  will  talk about things that HAVE happened on the show and while some might call these “spoilers,” I do not since the shit has been online since Thursday and available through all official avenues since last night.  If you haven't seen it yet and don’t want spoilers, please close your browser tab. I won’t approach these like a normal episode recap, because you should have known not to expect normal from me. Before I continue, I have a couple of questions/observations… Remember in earlier seasons, when it would take a character/group several episodes in a course that should represent several weeks to move from one place in Westeros to another? Average horse footspeed is what?  6mph?  By my quick m...

Some Thoughts on Game of Thrones S7E6

(look, you don't just give me Missandei's fine ass BUTT naked and then take it from me!)      Yes, I watch Game of Thrones too. Warning : I will talk about things that HAVE happened on the show and while some call these “spoilers,” I do not since the shit has been online since Thursday and officially available since last night.  If you don’t want spoilers, please close your browser tab. I won’t approach this like a normal episode recap, because you should have known not to expect normal from me. So here we go… Game of Thrones.  Season 7, Episode 6: Beyond The Wall .      Let me start off by saying that sending a ragtag bunch of misfits into someone else’s home turf to kidnap one person to show the rest of the world they exist seems like a patently horrible idea.  It is a horrible idea with sound reasoning, but still patently horrible. The brightest spot of the early episode was the back-and-forth between Tormu...
