Some random thoughts:
Red rum! Red rum! Today's color is red. OMG! It's THE cakes!! That Xmas buffet for nibbling at all day looked sparse; I estimate more than 75% of it consisted of her crappy tablescaping. Apparently we're supposed to feed our guests cake, little desserts, mucked-up wine, and crescent rolls? Yeah, right! SLop says "Give me 30 min and I'll give you your entire Xmas back!" In retrospect, I want my time back! The Hanukkah Horror: SLop says to put LOTS of blue food coloring into the frosting. I wept for the foodcake as she slathered the frosting all over it. Bwah! One of the jumbo marshmellows was trying to escape out the top of that cake so she had to squash it down! Hmm, marshmellows aren't kosher... SLop advises us that "Faux pearls are not edible, so be sure to remove them before serving". The more you know... SLop gets some pre-made five pointed Stars o David to top the cake; Why are there two of them? Next, SLop makes a green cake and then dumps coconut on it for a snow effect, but it doesn't look anything like snow to me. SLop tells us to literally press it lightly onto the side to make it stick and adds that when The Wallet's sons came home for the first time she made this crappy cake for them. I thought the first time they came home for dinner was in another ep, maybe in French Farce? SLop said something about a tube you buy in the grorcery store. What was that about? She then tries to make holly leaves and suggests two ways to make the berries, using red hots or what appears to be a tube of red toothpaste. The former looked good but the later looked like rivulettes of blood. Next is the Kwanza cake and OhMyGawd! She bisects a cake horizontally, mixes some icing with cocoa, cinnamon, and vanilla extract to make what she calls "chocolate-cinnamon icing" (that doesn't sound good) and then plops it onto the cake half and spreads it around before replacing the top. SLop tells us her trick: putting pie filling in the middle of the cake. SLop applies another slathering of frosting and then embellishes it with "acorns" (really corn nuts), pumpkin seeds, and some candles. Gawd damn, those are some big-ass candles! SLop anounces that she just HAS to taste the "wonderful" Kwanza kake, followed by her cutting the cake and shoveling it into her mouth in slow-mo. Oh gawd that's vile. We come back from commercial break to see her Crassmass Crescent-ring Cake that is made with crescent ring dough from the store. SLop arranges the pieces in a ring, arranging them so the corners are sticking down and outward. SLop walks over the counter and grabs an armful of silverwear to apply some jam onto the ring and then puts slices of almond paste onto it like pieces of pepperoni. She adds that if you don't have almond paste laying around, use ricotta cheese instead. I just don't see that working the same... SLop then tops the ring with another tube of dough and tells us to seal the top and bottom edges of the dough so the filling doesnt leak out, then changes her mind halfway through. SLop says the cake takes as long to make as a pot of coffee, 25 minutes. Damn, does she get it from the McDonald's drive through or something? Anyway, thanks to the magic of X-mas morning, there's an already baked ring on the counter. Someone tell SLop it was really MV, not the Spirit of Xmas, unless that's what made her pass out and forget. SLop makes a glaze tells us to use it after the ring has cooled so it doesn't melt and run off the sides. Oh look! A new X-mas Peptmo-Bismal ad! How utterly appropriate. Hee hee! Err, Ho ho ho! SLop makes cheesecake sugarplum pops by taking a melon baller to a nearly frozen cheesecake. What a waste of cheesecake. SLop tells us that this is a great user for them because they are otherwise put into storage until Spring. Hmm, SLop sure loves her suckers, err, lolipops, doesn't she? At this point a friend I was chatting up realized we were watching the same show and commented "oh that's what I was watching..... lol" and "and everyones kitchen looks like that, right". Heh. For her obligatory cocktail, SLop mixes some hot wine and cinnamon. Why can't you just DRINK the wine WITHOUT adding all that crap? I guess we can count ourselves lucky she didn't clothespin things to the serving glasses this time. SLop answers a fake email from a "fan" which read: "I love to entertain, but how do I relish my food to make it appetising?" BWAH! The first thing you can do is stop making SLop's concoctions, but SLop answers "SUGARFRUIT!" and says that she loves it so much that she embellishes EVERYTHING with it. Oh yeah, using fruit dipped in raw egg whites is also known as "serving up some salmonella with your holiday food". Once again, we see her Xmas buffet which is DOMINATED by crappy tablescape. I sure hope her guests know to fill up before arriving... -- 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.
