When the going gets tough..the tough watch the Great British Baking Show. If you haven't watched it -- you won't get it. Suffice to say there is nothing like it in the US. I want to live in the world of GBBS, but not as a baker. I want to be Mel and Sue or the other two hosts. Or one of the family members at the tea party. I don't really bake any longer -- because I suck at measurements, and I'm gluten-intolerant, and I'm supposed to never eat baked goods. I'm really good with an easy recipe or a mix that I can play with.

But I adore watching food demonstrations. My other favorite Food Demonstration Series of all time? Two-Fat Ladies, this is really similar.

I'm blatantly ignoring the news. Why unecessarily torture myself with it? Work and life are frustrating on their own.

Work was frustrating today. Not good for diets. Bought chocolate (Rittersport) and fixed myself a cocktail.

Sigh.

The Good Place S3 Episode 1...

Was brilliant and true to form. Also it cut off the final minute of the show...so if anyone knows what happened in that final sixty seconds...please tell. It may have been thirty seconds. Stupid DVR.

Other than that...I laughed throughout (which rarely happens with American Sitcoms). I adore Chidi (who yes, bears a shocking resemblance to Lando Take 2 at work, who hereinafter will be called Chidi in discussions about work.) I honestly think the Chidi and Eleanor and Michael sequences were comic gold.

[Tahani and Jason continue to grate on my nerves. But this may change...and there wasn't too much of them in the episode.]

Perfect cure. Laughter.

( eh, spoilers )

Cheered me up greatly. Now, see, you television writers can be funny without making me want to smack them upside the head with a bat. It is possible.
