After catching the end of last year's Halloween special with Emeril and the
real FN cooks, I know why SLop got a special of her own. Apparently since Tyler Florence was sick the day they made this last year, he got roped into doing this one with her. SLop crashes a party in NYC for ideas which she no doubt will screw up. Whoah, lady! Don't get so excited about that drink made with five types of vodka and nothing to dilute it (THIS is her inspiration for that green ghoulaid?). SLop found Tyler trying to hide from her in the attic of the house. He seems less than thrilled about being there and it shows by the way he rattles off her lame menu. Tyler does most of the cooking, as it were, and SLop flirts clumsily with him from the sidelines, just like Jack on his show. Isn't it odd that despite them adding all that food coloring to the NotFiveVodka drinks how pale a green it still was? When making the caviar pizzas, Tyler said to combine the liquids and then add the dry ingrediants. Huh? Anyhow, that dough was barely dampened by the fluid, resulting in dough with the consistancy of damp sand. How the hell is this going to form a pizza crust? As Tyler struggles with the floury mess, we see Sandra putting her hand on his arm followed by a quick cut away. Bad touch! Hands to yourself, Sandie! We return from commercial to see SLop has inexplicitly changed her clothing. Did something happen during the commercial break? "Hi! I'm the sugar plum fairy!", she says. Really? I thought you were going for "drunk barmaid". She makes some boring dark chocolate lollipops and we head out to commercial. We return from commercial to see Sandie in a pumpkin patch dressed up like one of the gals from Hee-Haw. Yikes! The farmer's drunk daughter winked at me! She blathers about making pumpkins and consults her "pal", the guy who makes profesional pumpkins for some hints on how to carve a pumpkin, as if he can show us how to carve pumpkins like his. He first says you have to get a good pumpkin and a magic marker to draw guidelines for when you carve it. SLop asks where to get one and we get this sudden cut to SLop staring in vapid rapture as the man explains where one can buy a magic marker. BWAH!!!! They eventually get around to cutting the pumkin open and Sandra "whoots!" as she apparently finds sticking her hands into the innards of a pumpkin arousing. As the pumpkin expert scrapes out the inside, she incredulously remarks "Look at how clean that makes the inside of these pumpkins!" -- has this woman never seen a pumpkin carved before? SLop feels that it's necessary to explain to us that some of the designs are only being carved onto the surface of the pumpkin. Thanks for the news flash. We then go back inside to make caramalized pumpkin seeds. The glamour shot features said seeds in what appears to be a discarded KFC bucket decorated with the likeness of the ghost from Dark Shadows that Angelique summoned as part of a curse against Sebastion. She dumps the seeds onto a baking sheet lined with aluminum foil and spreads it around with a spoon. So this is some sort of pumpkin seed brittle? Did she roast those seeds or are they raw? She then dumps them into the embellished KFC bucket, presumably, one would hope, after they'd hardeded, otherwise you're going to end up with a lump shaped like a KFC bucket. We return from commercial to see SLop gushing over some bats she cut from black construction paper. I am betting she'll be frying sopmething because she's wearing a dress similar to Snow White's wicked stepmother, complete with big-ass frilly sleeves. Damn, I think someone went a little overboard with the paper bats! For one of her concoctions, she uses "eXpresso beans" WTF? SLop somehow recruited a famous chocolatier to make what Sandie thinks is a "candy apple". "Gasp! That looks like one of those $25 apples you can buy at a store!" Sandie then makes her own, conspicuously holding back the sleeve of her costume. BWAH! While Drew slaves over the table making candy apples, SLop goes inside and changes into a princess tramp costume. She shows us the children's table but I can't help but laugh at what could be construed as a comment from the table on the side ("Boo!"). Inspired by a chandlier with a bunch of Michael Meyers masks on it she saw at that party she crashed (remember that?), Sandie uses butterfly masks as napkin holders. SLop gleefully shows us bottles of "Vampire wine" that you can buy online (where?) or glue some labels you made at Kinkos and glued to your wine bottles. SLop tells us for the zillionth time about how she greets her guests with a cocktail at the door. Once again, she claims her guests are about to arrive and disappears in a puff of smoke before they appear. In the bottom left corner, the words "Exec producer: Gordon Eliiot" appear. BWAH! -- WARNING!!! Use of these recipes may be hazardous to your health, food budget, standing in your community and liver function. Use at your own risk!! We assume no liability from any illness or injury sustained while eating the "food" or being exposed to crapass tablescapes. And no, we're not sure where she grew up either. The Cordon Bleu disavows any knowlege of Miss Lee. |
