Mimosa, Bloody Mary, nice flute of champagne — or maybe a favorite tipple in your coffee. Make yourself one and join me at our own Algonquin Round Table, the spirit of Dorothy Parker abides.
Happy Sunday, dear friends! Do have a seat and let’s pass the flutes and champagne. It’s been a pretty good week with a fragile, but hopeful sign of peace. Not that our President is going to get kudos from the usual portside suspects. Oh, pass the bacon and do try this week’s pain perdu — scrumptiously filled with homemade marmalade. YUM! It’ll take the taste of Schumer’s Shutdown out of your mouth, dears. Silver lining, though, is the RIF’s have started and we can toast to more, please. Let’s get to it. L’Chaim!

But, by golly, I will judge you!
Dame Prue Leith has revealed that she stopped talking about calories on The Great British Bake Off after being branded a “fattist”. (snip)
Speaking to Radio Times, she said: “That is my absolute judgment about any baking, because you know it’s full of fat and sugar, so: ‘Do I really want to eat this? Am I prepared to get fat?’”
She added: “I don’t say it now, because lots of people said they felt judged for liking cake. They thought I was being fattist.”
Holy Cry-Bullies, Batman! I guess you can tell everyone that sugar is awful in the abstract, but using ‘excellent taste’ as a criteria for consumption is a horrible, no-good, you’re just a meany thing to say that hurts the feelz.
I have enjoyed watching GBB for years and I find this sillier than even Noel’s antics.

A mooooving rendition, I’d say. Ba’dum tish.
If you must throw something at me, dears, please make it chocolate.

Let’s celebrate the everyday people who do the right thing.
It happened fast on Monday evening in East Sacramento. A medical helicopter came down hard on local Highway 50, and for a few seconds, everything froze. Then, something remarkable broke through the chaos. Drivers abandoned their cars, ran toward the smoking wreckage, and together did what looked impossible: they lifted a helicopter to save three trapped crew members.
I’m sorry to say that the flight nurse, Suzie Smith, passed away. However, all three crew members would have been lost on the spot but for the brave people who banded together to rescue them.
***************************
Oh, dears, I’m sorry to say our time together has come to a close. It’s a beautiful Sunday afternoon, go and enjoy and let’s meet back here next week. Cheers!
