Excruciating minutiae.

Here is what I would like to know

Well, actually it's not the only thing I'd like to know, but I am suffering from some schadenfreude and need to express it.

On this past week's The Apprentice: Martha Stewart, the crappy teams of raving lunatics were tasked with making and selling limited-edition salad dressings for Wish-Bone. The "new" Primarius came up with an "Asian Vinaigrette" and the "new" Matchstick created a "Rosemary Lime Vinaigrette." Matchstick won, no thanks to awful Leslie's surreptitious placing of multiple bottles of dressing in unsuspecting customers' carts.

Now. Wish-Bone is actually
selling a line of Apprentice-branded limited-edition dressings: a Rosemary Lime Vinaigrette and a Cranberry Walnut Vinaigrette. So it looks like the winning Matchstick dressing made it to the big time, if the "big time" is the bottled salad dressing aisle. Does this mean that Primarius' Asian Vinaigrette sucked, and was not even worthy of mass consumption by the lowest common denominator? Or was the deal that only the winner's product would appear on the shelves?

I really hope it's the former, because Primarius' resident chef, frighteningly square-jawed
Bethenny, maws on her food like a gigantic radioactive insect that's taken over Manhattan. Her dressing could never deserve to win. And anything and everything associated with Jim must go.

Not like I'd buy any reality star's salad dressing. Unless Zora made one. That I might consider.

Zora's profits would all go to benefitting some poor schoolkids or something.

Meanwhile, I'd be in the market for a good Asian vinagrette. But each and every one I've tried out of the bottle, regardless of who makes it, just stinks -- it's why I make it myself at home. Much fresher, just doesn't translate to the bottle. Bad business decision by that team to tackle something pretty impossible to nail.

You would be upset, then, to learn that Primarius' asian vinaigrette had peanuts in it. Case closed.

As for Zora, she is on TV all the time now as the spokeswoman for NutriSystem. I have a feeling those profits aren't going to poor schoolkids. Just a hunch.

(You know that whore Sarah's profits would go to increasing her own private stash of bondage gear.)

He does. Some sort of ginger dressing, I believe. I can't say I've ever had it, but he loves it.

It's pretty awesome. Ginger dressing, a la what they serve at Benihana. I originally found it here: http://www.topsecretrecipes.com/recipedetail.asp?sessionid=&login=yes&id=335&agree=yes

"Catherine" says it best when she suggests she could just drink the stuff.

It's that good.
