ok, fine. we watch “masterchef“. even though i hate the clunky musical cues, the repetitive editing, the explanations and narrations by the contestants even as the very events unfold right before our eyes… the kid does not really mind — she usually gives her own running commentary over the top of the soundtrack anyway, though the appearance of the burning m logo and the cut to ad break at dramatic points sends her into conniptions.
last year, we went through a stage of playacting “masterchef”: i’d serve up breakfast, and she’d say, “now tell me, poh, how did you make this jam toast and hot chocolate?”
“well, first i got a piece of bread…”
this year, she has been documenting the action with the occasional masterchef drawing. here you see the judging of the recent onsite afternoon-tea challenge. we were very impressed with callum’s crown jewels rendered in the medium of macaron. so were the judges. WAW!*
*pronounced: WOW!

Hahahaha! That is classic! Now, reading from left to right, that’s Gary, {macarons}, George and Matt Preston. Am I right?
WAW !!!!!!!!

bel: correct! matt preston has lost a bunch of kilos and his cravat, but his big hair gives him away. next i would like her to draw joanne dissecting a pigeon. 😉
nellie! did you have a good day? didja? speaking of good days, your lemon curd must be arriving any minute now. we made some the other day, as well as a lemon delicious pudding. i thought you found lemon curd too eggy, no?
The BEST drawing! Gworgeous…I am too a fan of the MC but the shabby, transparent editing is a force field I must penetrate, grrr!
They’re editing as though the audience has the collective memory of a goldfish and occasionally I do, but that’s not the point. Still love the show. Lots of posts today, I’ve got a bit of catching up to do ; )
i love it!
