The parsnips do look heavenly. Wow.

Oh I love this guy's show. Very unpretentious but everything comes out looking so yummy.

You know what's bizzare? I went to the American Club the day before you posted this and for the first time in my life, I borrowed cook books, and yes, I borrowed a Jamie Oliver. Danny likes the look of the steak and guiness pie, so that's my next project, after Lynn's apple bread (when I get round to it). He liked the toad-in-the- hole too, but I vetoed that. Toad-in-the-hole is venturing too far down the Brit food cesspool.

Lynn, I smiled at the way you said "this guy's show" as if you only vaguely know who Jamie Oliver is... or were you not sucked into the Food Network's frightening grip while in the US a few years back? Aha...you were in Singapore!

"Brit food cesspool"?? I try to keep things clean on this blog, Hsin-Li, so don't make me wield the mighty hand of erasure--mwa ha, the power is dizzing! Um.

Besides, you can't admit to making steak and Guiness pie and then castigate (I almost typed "castrate") the culinary traditions of the United Kingdom.

Maybe Anna was on to something when she suggested Brit Food Night. I would *love* some steak and Guiness pie, Hsin. And, much to my horror, Lynn seems to have developed a negative impression of British desserts thanks to one ruinous experience...where? Ah, at the Kensington Palace Orangerie. That needs to be rectified immediatement!

Really? This guy was big in the US? Totally missed it. Guess he was popular for a reason then.

Notice the stone silence from Hsin-li and me when Anna suggested the theme? Although, I could be convinced if Hsin-li wants to use as expriment subjects. See what kind of friend I am, Hsin?

A true friend indeed, especially since my attempt at steak and guiness pie could totally and utterly disasterous and you'd have to eat it!

Rachel, if you will make a nice brit dessert, I can be convinced to attempt that steak and guiness pie. I just don't think I can do it before Anna delivers though.

Well, it wasn't just Jamie Oliver that got famous, thanks (only in part) to the Food Network. There were a whole bunch of chefs who suddenly became "celebrity chefs," and because my roommate and I kept the TV constantly switched to the Food Network the way some people follow CNN, we were rather well-versed with all these names.

You know, Lynn, I DID notice that stony silence regarding the suggestion of Brit Food Night--and it was COLD! You girls are tough.

Hsin-Li, I would very happily make dessert if you make the Guiness pie.
