I liked her in Ice Age. But I suppose that says it all...

Lead minority? check
That'll do.
I suppose you'd also have to tell Queen Latifa that her contract is cancelled. I'd delegate that job for sure.

I vaguely remember Woodward's original series and I suppose this is more akin to that rather than Denzil's movies, but it's a sin that you forward a character and make them a pale imitation of the one you just developed.
Why I have posted about this in this thread, is how the eff can it have had 5 seasons commissioned? Everyone I personally know who have tried to watch this have all given up.

We bought paper bowls and plastic cutlery, but things are gonna be rough.
Turns out the big convection oven is dying because the top coils turn on when they feel like it. So we can do a frozen pizza, but it will take a while. As to a turkey, no dice.
We picked up a couple of soups and our last night with water we did mac and cheese with melinda's sriracha. It's good. Not fishy like huy fong, and not as sweet either. One funny thing, I found out my Melinda green sauce is 1 torch, and the sriracha is 2 torch.
I also watched a fascinating video on hot sauce that employed a test I've never heard of, the paper towel test.
The way the paper towel test works is you dab a drop of your hot sauce on a piece of paper towel and watch it bloom. The more red at the center, the more "mash" your sauce is made of. If it's got a giant halo? Vinegar or water.
I'm hemming and hawing over a sauce, it's $3 an ounce, and it's from the other side of the state. I'm leaning towards no unless it shows up in a liquidation center.

Not that it matter to you as you're stick thin, brother.

Not skimping on the calories, either.
I just had some nice maple walnut ice cream for the first time in many years. It was just delicious. They don't have it on the West Coast.
