I've been thinking about this for too long. I need to make me some red beans and rice with polish sausage this weekend. I cook it all day and it makes the house smell sooooo good.

Lol! LadyTex!

I prefer chorizo with my red beans and rice. I prefer the keilbasa with cabbage and potatos, or white beans and spinach.

We have a small Polish Town near us, and it is amazing how many different varities there are.

Since moving back from Miami, it's difficult to find any chorizo that isn't already vacuum packed. Ugh!

Grooch, at least you don't prefer sea bass with your red beans!

I think the kids are the 'helper' chefs. It looks really cute!

Good point, Julieboo! Fish of any type just ain't Polish sausage.

We struggle enough with HS aged volunteers in the kitchen! I can't imagine what a nightmare smaller kids would present in trying to get classy dishes done!

I think they said it was 'family night', so it sounds like it's simple, family meals.

Tonight was good!

It was good to see Antonia do so well. I liked the competition with the kids meals. I really wanted Lisa to go home .. her attitude is so bad .. but I am also happy with Mark leaving. Who makes a spicy, curry dinner for children??? The comments from the judges made it sound so horrible.

I loved that Dale made his dinner with sausage. Overall a good show!

I missed the very end, so thank you, thank you, Vacanick, for filling me in. I was SOOOO worried that Stephanie would leave. I also would have preferred Lisa leaving, but am okay with Mark. He did some really good stuff initially, but not so great lately.

Mark is cute as can be, but I have said from the first that he is not great chef material.

I ALMOST liked Antonia tonight which is a BIG turn-around! Vamos a ver -

ITA re: Mark. He just hasn't been cutting it of late. I liked Antonia tonight, too. LOL

I agree about Mark and I hate seeing contestants whining to the judge. Lisa annoys the crap out of me, what is with folding your arms the way she did -- so defensive and aggressive.

Next I would like to see Lisa go after that I dont really care. I do like Antonia but none of the chefs stand out like in seasons past. They all seem pretty mediocre (not like I could come up with any of those meals in a hurry). None of them have great personalities either.

The kids were all very charming! I think it was a great idea for the challenge!

Lisa and her sourpuss needs to go.

LOL @ Richard wanting to make babies!

What did Richard say about making babies? I saw the show but must have missed that part.

Richard said after seeing the kids & Antonia cry (about missing her daughter) the emotions were so high he wanted to go home and make little Blaze's.(his last name, not sure if it is spelled correctly, but it was funny!)

That really was cute when Richard talked about the babies. I'm glad Mark went after his comments about Tom not liking him. Some of these people just don't seem to understand that the food WAS NOT GOOD. And he made a really, really poor choice of what to cook for kids. It's funny, these guys have to know that they are going to be given challenges that they have to follow, but so many of them seem to get po'd about having guidelines and having to do what they are assigned. I just don't get that. I hope Lisa goes home next, I'm tired of her belligerant atitude.

I heard the 'blaze' part but I didn't realize that's what Richard was talking about. Thanks for clearing that up.

Is next week the wedding challange?

Definitely want to see Lisa go next, also Nikki, although this time she did surprise me talent-wise, I think because it's something she's always done.

Still rooting for a Richard or Stephanie win.

I only saw about 45 seconds of the show, and won't have to time to catch it any time soon, and have no clue what each chef's meals were. Help, anyone? tia!
The 45 sec. I watched was them griping about not being able to feed a family for $10. Uh, come on over to my house...we can hook you up with some slam for $10. lol

Nikki made a all-in-one-pot meat and veggie dish which was perfect for a family dinner. Also think she had it seasoned well.

I also remember the losing dish: Mark had come up with a curry that was too complicated and not really family-meal oriented.

Someone else did a sphagetti dish--the kids were delighted with that....anyone else help out here?

Oh, and someone did soup in addition to main course...one of the guys...they commented that he had really used his $10 well.

Can't seem to remember what Richard made.
Stephanie had an odd combination of flavors.
