I made it through the hour because I'm persistent (I made it through the first full hour of Reign, too), although I don't actually just sit in front of the tv and watch it exclusively. Good thing I was doing some embroidery at the same time.

I'm no expert, but you'd think someone would know that potatoes aren't medieval (G). The lentil soup was probably closest, throwing in veggies that were handy. I kept saying to myself, "Really!?" Penn Gillette's attitude was perfect: he cooked steaks (with brown sugar on them), and said he's pass them off as medieval, which made me smile, at least.

I ate worse at a Medieval Mystery Theatre meal at a local restaurant here years ago. They took everything but our spoons away, and served us french onion soup (the closest item), turkey legs, corn on the cob, and chocolate mousse. Sigh. I was using my dining companion's personal knife to cut corn off the cob and meat from the turkey bone because I was having a dental problem at the time. They came to take his knife away, and I conceded, to prevent physical mayhem (G). I didn't expect too much better from Fairbanks, Alaska, 15 years ago.

Is there anything worth watching on The Cooking Channel anymore?

Morgana, hungry for armord nips, and I don't even like turnips (G)
