Snippet: Cooking Shows

 

I figured be good to list out the shows that were discussed in all the snippets.  As I know not everyone binge watches Food shows like I do 🙂

The first one mentioned for Madmartigan.

TOC: Tournament of Champions – can be seen on Discovery +

There’s six seasons and yes it’s a bracket style competition show.  It’s intense and feels like March Madness for those who follow basketball – but with food 🙂

We do have a version of this show in Sylum – as Richard Fullerton is a ‘celebrity chef’.

 

 

The second one mention with Patterson

Spring Baking Championship – cam be seem on Discovery +

There are multiple seasons!!! This is basically 12 bakers who fight it out over best deserts themed for Spring.  There is also:  Summer Baking Championship, Halloween Baking Championship & Holiday Baking Championship

Honestly for me Halloween is my favorite for the really great costumes and themes.

 

 

The third one for Doc Holliday 

Wildcard Kitchen – can be seen on Discovery +

There are two seasons for this show.  Basically it’s poker meets cooking.  The dealer hands out type of dish and a must use ingredient, the chefs bet their own money.  The winning dish gets the pot.

It’s very entertaining and the chefs are all good friends who have no problem smack talking and dealing out the good stuff

 

 

The fourth one for Raymond

Crime Scene Kitchen – can be viewed on Hulu or Disney +

There are 4 seasons and the premise is – a desert was cooked in the kitchen then stolen.  It’s up to the bakers to figure out via clues left behind what was made then make it themselves.

It’s not easy to figure out these deserts.  

 

Does anyone else watch these?  

And if you’re looking for another interesting food network show 24 in 24: Last Chef Standing … 24 chefs compete in a competition that is 24 hours long.  No stopping just keeping going until last chef standing.

Want to add any of your favorites to the list?

Los Angeles – Wild Fires

 

As I’m sure many of you have seen that Los Angeles has been devastated by Wild Fires.

So guys this is personal for me.  Do not worry we’re safe, and not affected by them.  

But this is my city.  I have friends & co-workers throughout the city, and has been affected by the fires.

There are many people who have lost their homes, business, and even loved ones.

I normally do a Sylum Charity every month to help out a variety of organizations, but I’m asking you to please do what you can to send aid or goods to those in LA who are in need.

There are many charities, that are out on the frontlines right now helping the firefighters who are still fighting (as of 12th Pacific Palisades fire is still not under control and spreading), those who lost everything and are displaced, plus all the animals that are in need of help.   Please take a moment to find which charity or group that needs the help.

Thank you.

The General is Back

 

The General is Back!

I’m still recovering but am starting to feel better and getting back into normal routine.   Slowly but getting there.

Thank you everyone for the well wishes!  It has been a whirlwind let’s just say I went from meeting the doctor to surgery in four days.   

Overall this was a good thing, just need the time to heal.

Entertaining the General – Take Three

Today, we’re back to Sylum with the random question…

Let’s imagine some of your favorite Sylum characters were playing “Cards Against Humanity,” who do you think would win and why?

* In case you do not know what “Cards Against Humanity” is, it is an adult version of the children’s game “Apples to Apples.”

Entertaining the General – Take Two

 

This morning’s question isn’t about Sylum. There have been a lot of new shows on streaming (let’s go with anything that has two seasons or less –we still want her to rest). What would you recommend to the General to binge while she recovers and why? [Please also give the network or streaming service.]

Answers should look like:

CBS/Paramount+’s “Tracker” because… Justin Hartley. It’s an interesting show about a guy who finds missing people both for the money and himself.

Entertaining the General – Take One

This week I’m your guest host for the blog posts and our theme for the week is to entertain the General during her recovery.

So our first foray into entertaining is….

Which Sylum character do you think is a closet Taylor Swift fan? Okay, they don’t even have to be a closet fan, which one do you think is belting out the song while in the car?

And, what song are they singing?

The General’s Health

 

Just wanted to make a post about my own health.

I’ve had a massive flare up on my chronic condition, which looks to be leading to surgery. 

What does this mean?  The amount of posts will likely go down during recovery time, and my participation in Sylum Events will be low.   As matter of fact I won’t have anything in Spring Fling.

This also puts me behind on all projects Sylum related.

Please understand as I recover will step back into things, but will take some time.

Thanks.

Call Out to Clan – Part 2

Update!  

 

Okay so ironically the series I was looking for was Alternate Paths.

The series someone requested was Escort Service.

Both dealt with escort services – so I got them confused as one would.

Alternate Paths – is the one where Speed was the Escort

Escort Service – is the one Dr. Speed calls for an Escort Service and accidentally gets Horatio (who just shows up cause why not).

The person who asked was awesome to find these on an old old archive.  But if anyone has copies it would be very helpful!!

Yes – I will fix up, edit and get on the Bj Jones section of the blog so all can read.

Call Out to the Clan!

 

Okay here’s the deal!  This is going to some of our old timers!

I wrote a series a long time ago in a galaxy far far away …. basically pre Sylum Era. 

It was Speed as a hooker, that Horatio got kinda obsessed with only for later Speed to be a victim of a crime and become a case.   

Sadly as I checked my Archive it wasn’t there!! At this moment I can’t even remember the name of the series!  

So calling out to those who has followed me on this journey – do you remember it? have a copy of it? know a stash archive somewhere that still has it?

Sylum Question: The Answers!

 

About a month ago on ‘National Ask A Question Day’ – I set it out for everyone to send in questions and I’ll answer.

One of the main questions was – When is Colosseum Event coming?

Answer:  Well I can’t give you an actual date, but basically it’s #4 on our list of things that has to get done.  Sadly there’s still things that have to be done before hand.   But I will say the logistics is being worked on and our mirrored closet doors is covered in notes and connecting points for this specific story.
