So I just wandered down the street trying to find a human. I could not get my canister of rice open. I tried everything and I was determined. Hot Hipster guy was on his porch with a couple of women. He opened it with his fingertips. It was embarrassing. In so many ways. First it was the first time I had ever spoken to Hot Hipster Guy (though I mention him here an on Twitter sometimes. He was super nice and so were the women. Then I waddled my fat old ass back home. I’m making the rice for Banjo who is on a hunger strike. And acting weird. Anyway, let’s knock out this RHOBH recap and get on with the show!
Women On A Mission
It seems every year, the LA Mission, that provides food for the needy, seems to honor a RHOBH in exchange for publicity. Seriously, I think they have all been honored and they were running out of nominees until Garcelle showed up. And every time we go to one of these functions, it’s an embarrassing shit show. I expect nothing less this time. Since Rinna and Garcelle are riding together we have to catch Garcelle up on the Denise drama. Garcelle and Denise are allied against Kyle. Kyle seemed really shocked when Garcelle went on WWHL and trashed her a bit. She claimed she had no idea that Garcelle had an issue with her during filming.

Oh the event is indoors this year. Usually it’s outdoors. Dorit is sick so she’s not coming. Garcelles boys are adorable. I feel sorry for Teddi having to film while pregnant. Who wants to get all gussied up and go to a boring awards ceremony when you are that pregnant. Ali Landry introduced Garcelle. We learn that Garcelle has another son who is 28! He went through a period of drug abuse but he is doing better now. Garcelle thanks her new friends, but some of them not so much. It’s a stab at Kyle. The podium is not the place to start a stupid housewives fight. Just accept your award and sit your ass down. Erika missed the speech because she was in the bathroom
Denise & Aaron Are Such A Cute Couple…On A Surface Level
Denise is the first to depart. She has to be at work at 6 am. Kyle seems to have an attitude about that. Please. She showed up, endured the speech and she has a husband and kids at home. Why must everything everyone does be held up for scrutiny? Let the woman live. Garcelle tells Kyle that she feels like they haven’t really gotten to know each other and everything is very “surface level.” Erika who is Team Kyle explains that Garcelle has missed a lot of filming and they haven’t spent much time together. Garcelle thinks Kyle isn’t interested in getting to know her. Kyle seems hurt. And so does Garcelle. Can’t they just make a date for the two of them? Sutton basically volunteers to be Garcelle’s Teddi and everyone laughs.

Denise and Aaron go out for a casual dinner and she catches him up on all the RHOBH drama. Starting with Santa Barbara. Aaron gets pissed at Teddi. Then he finds out that Rinna called her a hypocrite. Rinna is her good friend. I am disappointed in Rinna for that. Aaron does not want to go to Kyle’s BBQ. Then he proceeds to ask for A1 sauce for his filet mignon. Oh Aaron, A1 sauce is strictly for use in the privacy of your own home. Otherwise you are asking for ridicule. I really like Aaron. But apparently, based on that one dinner, he’s a lunatic.
Kyle Clearly Doesn’t Know What A BBQ Is
Ah, I had forgotten about Kyle Richard’s BBQs. You aren’t going to find Maurico flipping burgers and drinking beer from a can. Instead there will be a dozen hired catering people and covered silver serving dishes, and gobs of floral arrangements and a bartender and Kyle in full glam. Rinna and Erika are on the way and looking forward to a hot dog. Um, I don’t think that is in the cards, ladies. Everyone’s kids are invited and Dorit’s kids are precious. Garcelle’s boys are impressed with Kyle’s house and one of them tells his mom, “This house is way better than ours.” True. But, OUCH! Maurico is not even there.

Denise and Aaron decide not to bring their kids. Denise says either way it will be an issue. Neither one of them want to be going. They are already planning to bail and go out to dinner. Aaron gives Kyle a hostess gift. It’s one of his weirdo things. I’m not even going to try to explain it. He’s weirder than Shannon Beador and that is saying a lot.
Who Is Mom Shaming Who Here?
Poor Teddi. They are sitting a luxurious table but all of the seating is on the ground. Not really great for a pregnant lady. Garcelle asks Denise where her kids are and she says, “Do your really think I would bring them about them again?” Couldn’t she just give the same answer she gave Kyle? On playdates and spend the night parties? Kyle and Teddi are offended. Garcelle is standing up for Denise. Teddi is going hard on Denise. Really? Why. Eventually Aaron puts an end to the attacks on Denise. As he should. All he said was “let’s talk about something else. And Teddi’s talking head is all about Aaron putting women down? Is this a bad edit or is Teddi being completely ridiculous?

Kyle is dead wrong here. Denise is not “mom shaming” her. And where the fuck are HER kids by the way? If Denise decides not to take her kids to a filming event, that is simply all it is. Everyone ELSE has been mom shaming Denise for the past three episodes. LAY OFF KYLE. And stop making me agree with the lunatic with the giant penis! Please and THANK YOU! Then, Denise throws and F bomb in front of Dorit’s kid, who is just stunningly adorable. Oh Denise. Really? Then Aaron starts babbling nonsensically for no apparent reason. He’s so odd. Erika wonders is Aaron is on drugs.
And The Weirdest Walk Of Ever In The History Of Bravo!
After Aaron offers his nonsensical words of wisdom to the ladies. Teddi made a minor snarky comment like Gee thanks, Aaron or something. Denise starts losing her shit on Teddi! Denise says she is leaving. She orders Aaron to get up and off they go. Oddly, Denise orders Aaron not to say another word because they are still miked and on camera. Kyle goes chasing after them as does Rinna. And Dorit. And Sutton.

Instead of a preview for next week, we get a preview of the second half of the season and it looks AMAZING!
P.S. Banjo ate the rice. đ
Also my DVR cut off at the very end. What exactly did Denise say about having a decision to make about what makes it to air if they ever want her to work with them again? Or something like that…?
I think she said something like, âif Bravo wants me on the show, they will not sure thatâ or âthey will cut that.â
Thanks! Hmm I wonder what was said… let me as SOURCE.
WOW! White priviledge at its finest! These are the issues and problems of Beverly Hills, CA!? It’s laughable. I am Team Denise! Denise can’t allow her kids and their friends to attend a party that their mother is hosting without grown women controlling their topics of conversation!? Those teenagers are more mature then these women! Kyle and Teddi are such hypocrits! If that happened at Teddi’s house Ms. “Perfect” would shame them all! I cant stand Teddi! Last thing, I’m calling this one: Mauricio and Kyle will be divorced in a few years! Something is going on with their marriage! Maurico seems so disconnected with Kyle. This season Kyle seems to be drinking alot and dressing like she is 23. She looks ridiculous. Wait and see ! I always ask myself why am i watching Bravo with all the white priviliedge. But, i end up watching. LOL
The conversation was about Brandi’s allegations that she and Denise had a sexual relationship. Denise broke the fourth wall and put her hand up to the camera to try to make it impossible for Bravo to use the footage. She was telling the ladies if Bravo wanted to work with her anymore they better not show that conversation (or something similar).
Yeah, I think it had to be something else. Because Brandi hasn’t been there to make the allegations yet. It was something that happened at the BBQ.
At the BBQ Denise told Aaron not to say anything as the cameras are rolling – he muttered “this is some fucked up shit” as they walked up the stairs to Kyle door. Denise kept repeating ” Don’t say anything” not sure what else he said.
When we saw clips of the upcoming season they showed Denise saying âif Bravo wants me on the show, they will not show thatâ or âthey will cut that.â
It looked to me that it was in the previews. I think it was after Brandi told the ladies and that they confronted Denise about it. I donât know which I hate more â when people lie about another person in a way that can hurt them, or their family. Or when people have to TELL ALL. I am one of those weirdos who could work for someone like Brad and Angie AND NOT TELL ALL. I have MANY faults, but not being able to keep a secret is not one of them. OmertĂ . Not because of lawsuits, because â as Aaron says â â(I) need to look in the mirror.â As a Graham Nash wrote, âitâs with you you have to live.â Thatâs YOU, Lisa Rinna. With friends like you … (BTW: Deniseâs nephew and his friends were talking about Wild Thing on her previous show. She handled it with grace.)
Aaron was right, these ladies are beating to death something that shouldnât even have gone beyond the first round. Further, IMHO, Denise SHOULD NOT HAVE HAD TO SAY ANYTHING about keeping it down around the kids. Maybe a reminder, which is what she did.
All those self-nominated Mother of the Year candidates should know that WITHOUT being told. ESPECIALLY the ones who have raised teenagers. Garcelle and Sutton are winning me over more each week.
Also, I am so NOT a fashionista, but can someone tell me if Kyle was wearing pajamas to her BBQ? I’m sure it was a very expensive pajama set… or whatever… but I was confused.
And again. I AM TEAM KYLE ALL DAY EVERY DAY! But damn if she is not making it hard for me this season. And she reads here, so try to be nice. Niceish. Kind of nice. Okay just not really NOT NICE. đ thanks.
Hello Tamara, good to see you. I frequent here but as a viewe,r I rarely post. Kyles ensemble was very nice for a classy dinner at a nice restaurant I actually liked it, but it was not appropriaite to sit on the ground at a childrens party. The only person dressed appropriately was Denise and well Garcelle and Sutton, everyone else look like they showed up to the wrong party.
Well the old timers on the cast are well aware that Kyle’s BBQ’s don’t always even have BBQ lol. And they are very fancy. But I didn’t get her look. I love Kyle and feel bad that she doesn’t know what a regular people BBQ is.
This reminded of me when I first moved down to Memphis and decided to throw a party for my (now ex) husbandâs business associates. I went to have invites printed. When I told the lady it was for a bbq, she asked me what we were serving. When I told her chicken and burgers, she looked at me aghast and said, âOh honey Bless your heart. You aren’t from around here are you? Thatâs a COOKOUT. A bbq is when you serve PORK.â I have never forgotten that to this day! LOL
It looked to me like Kyle was wearing some of the stuff she had in her âfashion line.â I assume henceforth sheâll be wearing a lot of Kyle Shahida.
Ah that is exactly what it was. I thought it was cute but not for a BBQ. And that it seemed like PJs.
I am disgusted at the way most of the women, except for Garcelle, Dorit & Sutton, are going in on Denise, trying to make an issue out of how she doesn’t want her kids to overhear sex talk ”from their mom & her friends,” totally makes sense to me. Denise has a volatile ex-,husband, Tiger Blood himself, to deal with on custody, her daughter Eloise has special needs, plus teenagers who naturally are curious about sex, and ALL HW’s’ kids are supposed to be off-limits! Remember she’s only been married 1 year, how filming would affect dynamics, she works a lot of hours on set l& off memorizing li/nes… & who the f is Teddi (,stupid name)—All-In- Know-it-All? – to say Denise was angry in Santa Barbara when she didn’t want to discuss her daughter Sami anymore? And Rinna acting like she knows Denise’s daughter Sami better than her own mother? Give me a break! Kyle, Erika, Rinna & Teddi all act jealous of Denise. They should all understand a woman needing ”me” time &/or couple time to relax, not be judged and no we don’t always act the same way 24/7, but not a reason to call her a hypocrite redundantly & obsessively!!! She never said they werebad moms, yet they’re trying to turn it around on her & the way they were at the BBQ like sharks smelling blood then attacking Denise really made me sick. It was nice to see Garcelle take her side then Aaron, I don’t blame them for leaving. I think he meant watch your hand, he was squeezing hard cuz he was so mad at those beotches!!? I haven’t seen them enjoy a meal yet! They fit right in w/teenagers!
Iâm thinking the outfit Kyle is wearing is from her âclothing lineâ a few episodes ago. ??
But did you hear Aaron threaten time CRUSH deniseâs hand? That was fucked up.
I heard it! He couldnât control his temper. He also jerked his hand away shortly later as Denise was reaching to hold it. Definitely has anger issues.
He seems angry and paranoid. This is very specific, but the way he said âridiculousâwhen he was berating the women while eating was a really strange cadence. Almost a different voice. Maybe heâs the type of person who bonds extremely closely with his loved ones but is very uncomfortable upset if he has to interact with anyone else.
I think the storyline about the conversation at Deniseâs party is really tedious. Itâs Puppy Gate, the sequel. This cast really loves to beats dead horses. I guess they have nothing to talk to each other about.
I heard him say that, too, and even hit rewind bc I couldn’t believe he threatened to crush her hand!
Ok, I thought I heard that too, so I’m glad others heard it, because I became very concerned for Denise.
I obviously don’t know this as a fact, and this is purely my opinion based on a very limited view from an edited reality show, but Aaron reminds me of my grandfather somewhat, who was a narcissistic schizophrenic. He’d babble with paranoid delusions the same way Aaron appears to. Aaron’s whole thing about his healing work or whatever and him thinking he knows better than pretty much the whole medical profession with his “cancer is good for you and your body’s response to bad infections” gives me a strong whiff of delusions of grandeur associated with a narcissistic personality. Then him thinking people are following him and trying to stop him suggests the paranoia from schizophrenia. My grandfather was the same way, and he could get extremely angry and violent.
Then with Brandi saying Denise said something like “don’t say anything, Aaron will kill me,” combined with Denise seeming to panic and trying to convince them to cut the footage, it strikes me that she might be in an abusive relationship and trying to manage his moods and keep him calm. My mother was always trying to manage my grandfather’s moods and keep the peace too to prevent him getting angry/violent.
I’m sorry if this post is too long, but I know you’ve mentioned TT that Kyle reads here sometimes, so I don’t know, maybe someone can check to make sure Denise is ok if they read this. They’ll know more about the situation than I will since I’m just seeing it from a tv screen 45 minutes a week. I just know that victims of abuse, especially narcissistic abuse have usually been subjected to so much gaslighting from the abuser that they don’t even know how toxic it is, and they need help from outside.
I really hope that Denise is ok, and I hope all of you are ok too and making it through each day as best you can!
I agree and wondered how you were feeling about your girl Kyle. I was thinking, with LVP gone, Kyle seems anxious and unable to be her fun self. Seems as if she is being very cautious and in charge.
This season of ridiculous glam, so much that it is a storyline practically, is for women who are trying to impress others. New York who wear sweats and t-shirt to do yoga, also are showing true wealth, and do not need to greet with a “CHANNEL” etc.
this is so not impressive, sadly, because they are competing? Acting? Not being real enough to pull off the show?
And it seems like it’s no longer a group of friends show up for each other.
They are advertising the other projects, but less and less its more than a lunch, dinner, coffee, husbands be gone, except the creepy one (Aaron).
I hope it’s just a slow start. Hmmm.
Now don’t get me wrong – I ride hard for NY and the RHONY gals… but in terms of wealth, the RHOBH ladies surpass them all. Since Bethenny’s gone the only really $$$$ one left is Tinsley.
Money ain’t everything though… it’s just facts are facts.
Other husbands arenât there because maybe they donât like their wives, or wives donât like them. (PK, HarryHamlin, Mauricio) teddyâs hubby was there. Sutton and Garfield arenât married.
INTERESTING that kyles own kids werenât there either. Sheâs such a fake. In her talking head sheâs all âno and I love having BBQs bc it brings the families together.â đ who in her fam was there? I didnât even see Portia.
Oh forgot Erikas husband. Can you imagine him in that setting? No.
Kyleâs kids were there. They just werenât filmed. She said it on her IG storiesâ or maybe her Twitter. I forget, but it was directly from Kyleâs mouth.
Portia was there. Saw her on the slide or bouncy house
Sool, you should learn your facts.
Aaron is not creepy. Heâs hot. And normal-ish. Like Denise. I love them.
I’m bored with the “you look so cute”, “that outfit is gorgeous”, and showing up to BBQ’s all decked out. It’s not normal, even it you are wealthy. They don’t wake up on a normal day with 5 people waiting to get them ready.
At least in the NY franchise you see them without makeup, well except for Tinsley.
such a focus on appearance! It’s the first thing out of their mouth. it’s superficial, trite, rote. And seems to be the most important thing to them.
Yes! It’s all about what they are wearing and how they look that day. I couldn’t do it,even if I had millions of dollars. Needing 4 hours to get ready to go to lunch is stupid. They’d be talking about me because I’d wear jeans and t-shirts to cook outs too.
Kyle’s outfit of lounging pajamas was from her oh-so-fabulous fashion line that she didn’t design. Way to promote them. đ¤
And, as you mentioned, while they were so busy flogging Denise for not bringing her kids to this BBQ, where was Portia? She was much more age appropriate to enjoy the ballyhooed bouncy castle Kyle was so weirdly proud of than Denise’s teen-age girls. And Eloise is so shy, there’s no way she would’ve enjoyed being thrown into this mob.
Yay Banjo. I like rice too. Xo
Aaron was the only spouse there? Why? Was this ever explained? I agree with you on the A1 yes but Denise ordered mashed potatoes as her main course?
Teddies husband was there, he was in the background playing with the kids.
Thanks! Yes just Aaron making a fool of himself
Sometimes a girl just wants mashed potatoes. And a big salad.
I remember Denise is/was vegetarian at one point. Also Kyle is acting terrible this season. Wether it be bad edit or stress she is coming off judgmental and hypocritical with Dorit and Denise. I would have liked Erika to stick up for Denise in the kids front a bit with her son being off limits. I thought she would get it.
I love Sutton and Garcelle as new additions too!
Used to only dislike Kyle, thanks to last year and this, I loathe her.
There seems to be at least one scene each show where Kyle is repeatedly shouting âF You!!â at someone.
I guess theyâre pushing the Kyle + Teddi couples therapy as foreshadowing for Deniseâs affair?
Denise is a vegetarian.
I hate the way these women drag things out. They had already discussed the threesome talk with Denise twice. Both times Denise stated she would no longer bring her girls around the ladies anymore and that she wanted to drop it. Exactly what more were they looking for from her?
And Kyle bringing Brandi back to start more shit with Denise is just petty. Newsflash people are allowed not to like you, and especially this season. Even her husband isnât there half of the time.
I wonder if something with Mauricio is whatâs making Kyle so on edge this season?
Same.
Good guess.
I will use A1 if my steak is overcooked to my liking. I might even use ketchup on a well done ribeye. A good med rare filet with a nice sear on the outside sounds delicious right now.
How are you? I assume okay since I didnât read about scary violence and youâre commenting. Youâve been in my prayers.
I am good, thank you for asking. Definitely have not left the house since Saturday. Hope you are doing well also.
I didnât like the comments Erika Jane made about Deniseâs kids suggesting they may have already participated in a threesome. The conversation was inappropriate around kids and they should admit it and move on. Teddy comes off as a know it all and she is rubbing me the wrong way. These hens might want to sweep around their own front door before they sweep around Deniseâs. Denise might just have her hands full with Aaron and weâre starting to see his crazy. This episode was juicy and and really gave us an up close and personal view of the beautiful mask some of these ladies hide behind. Kyle of course wears the fanciest one. Anyhoo, glad Banjo ate the rice and hope he feels better.
Okay yâall I finally got through to the liquor store today (Pennsylvania and Gov Wolf SUCK TINY PUBE HAIRS). I dared to order more than the 6 small bottle limit and got 7 big boys! As a nod to Denise I got two kinds of repesado tequila đľ đš đ¸ YUM!
I will be back to comment, I am about half way through…
Good for you! I literally had to buy two boxes of white wine off my sister’s stash when I visited her several days ago. There is a shortage where I live apparently.
LA, I just could not have one more drop of wine! I hit redial over and over and over until I got through. Utterly ridiculous but success tastes yummy đ
Sooo, Iâm back. Things like ordering mashed potatoes with a salad of cucumbers and shaved Parmesan but NO dressing or pepper brought me back.
Carefully coifed Aaron wanted A1 sauce??? Are they at Ponderosa? Even the âupscaleâ Ponderosa (Sullivanâs) probably doesnât have A1 because they think their food is good! đ¤Ž
Whoop, Whoop, liquor order for the weekend is necessary, THANK YOU for the reminder.
I’m amazed they closed the liquor stores! It’s actually a serious issue because there are millions of people addicted to the sauce who will become extremely ill if they are forced to abruptly stop. I guess you could still buy wine and beer in convenience stores etc?? I live in Hoboken, NJ and they kept the liquor stores open, they briefly stopped medical marijuana businesses from opening although they’ve been up for while now.
You gotta love that in 2020 weed is now considered an “essential” in NJ. I never thought I’d see that day! My own Mum, 79, takes weed, a gummy bear to fall asleep at night.
Just wanted to say – Hi Hoboken neighbor!….small small world.
Iâm really glad Banjo ate the rice! It can be so worrisome when our furred family members are acting wonky or not eating. I know you love Banjo so much. I was happy to read your last sentence!
Aaron is off but his nonsensical comments make me laugh when you write them and then I have to watch to hear him say them. And laugh again because itâs so nutty! Heâs so weird but I like that he loves Denise. That feels real. Garcelleâs son…đđ. Ouch but funny.
Our animal families just know when things are “off” not always with predictable behaviors…they keep us guessing but they KNOW!
Day drinking on my day off, I haven’t watched the news today, I over did it yesterday and couldn’t sleep for shit!
State was in our building yesterday for an infection control survey (FINALLY!) they were supportive and helpful. I am so proud of all we have done for so long now. We kinda needed that at this point when people are starting to fatigue. Numbers just keep climbing here in the WWWest but we have kept it at bay and will continue to do so for as long as it takes!
Sorry for just plopping this comment in here but I was glad to hear about Banjo (Auntie Kipper sends kisses and hugs Banjo, you stay strong buddy we all need you!)
I’m curious to see what Kyle was wearing! I like her bangs in the px above, she’s so beautiful!
Garcelle was fake going after Kyle for no reason but I liked that she stuck up for Denise. Denise sans Aaron is the only one I like on this show at the moment. Sutton is ok. The rest? Blech
I love Garcelle! She isn’t checking for Kyle at ALL. Dorit’s outfit was not appropriate for the BBQ, what the hell. I see why Denise stops filming. I wonder if LVP reached out to Denise.
They still all need a lobotomy.
Kyle is so confusing this season….is there something that she is hiding or seriously worried about as I cannot get to grips with how she is behaving.
Has she always been a mean girl?
I was disappointed in Garcelle’s comments this episode.
Groundhog day again, time to move on ladies please
Are Aaron’s tiny brain cells stored in his big dick
Mashed potato, cabbage and spring onion, lots of butter, salt/pepper and of course grilled cheese..yummy
I think that Kyle enjoyed getting rid of lvp. And teddy helped do that, so teddy and Kyle are thisclose now. And Kyle thinks she wears the crown and it literally went to her head.
But until last year with lvp, I never thought Kyle was an active mean girl.
how odd that none of her own family was there, but she makes a big deal about Denise’s kids not being there.
I’m glad denise is not putting up with their shit this year. The group doesn’t understand one simple fact. When denise talks salty, she is not overheard by kids. She asked them to keep it low so the kids could not over hear, but they couldn’t do that.
Case closed.
Rinnas shitty comments to denise were so out of line. With friends like her. ..
I think Kyle is trying to be something that she is not, due to LVP’s departure. Maybe she thinks the show needs some kind of alpha-type, for drama? Her new hairstyle and clothes are like a costume she’s wearing for a role.
I admit to not watching this show consistently this year (or the last couple, frankly) because the arguments are so ridiculously petty and manufactured. But I think I will start to tune in now, to get a good look at Aaron’s behavior.
Has to ask, why a canister of rice? I just made brown jasmine rice but it’s in a bag. Gives Banjo a virtual hug and probably gets virtually bitten.
Canister wasn’t really the right word.The kind I buy come in a big plastic container with a screw on top. I could not for the life of me get it unscrewed. The bagged kind is messy. If I buy that kind I pour it into one of the old containers.
tuatha, you’re making me wish I had bought cabbage. Back to the grocery store tomorrow. Eggs and cabbage. Not together but over easy for breakfast, and cabbage soup for dinner. I think I made myself nauseated by thinking of them together.
Cabbage Soup needs Soda Bread
⢠350g wholemeal flour
⢠100g plain flour
⢠1 teaspoon salt
⢠1 teaspoon bicarbonate of soda
⢠50g butter
⢠225ml fresh milk
⢠150g natural yoghurt
⢠Flour to dust
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 220C / 200C fan / gas mark 7 / 425F.
Dust a baking tray or a pizza tray with a little plain flour.
1. Mix all the dry ingredients together thoroughly. Rub in butter to fine breadcrumbs.
2. Add milk and yoghurt and mix to a soft dough.
3. Place the ball of dough on your baking tray and cut a deep cross in the centre. This is really important as it helps the centre of the bread to cook properly â so cut nice and deep, almost to the bottom.
4. If you wish, you can dust the loaf with a little flour and a sprinkle of oats, then place the bread in your preheated oven for 50 minutes.
5. Serve with soup or salad or anything else you fancy! (And donât forget it makes great toast the next dayâŚ)
Additions
Raisins, dried currants, or sultanas (aka: golden raisins)
Shredded cheese (a sharp Irish cheddar would be especially nice)
Herbs, such as chives, rosemary, or thyme
Roasted garlic or caramelized onions
Nuts and/or seeds, such as pistachios, walnuts, caraway seeds, or sunflower seeds
Thank you! A good bread can make a meal. Milk and yoghurt. By wholemeal is that whole wheat flour. I don’t use self rising flour, the horror. Nuts and seeds, not a fan of caraway seeds.
A sharp Irish cheddar though, yummy. Roasted garlic, caramelized onions, yum. Don’t tell anyone, but I don’t like thyme.
Yes, whole wheat flour, any flour combination this recipe is very adaptable s no yeast involved.
I switched out the buttermilk to milk/yoghurt as buttermilk can be difficult to get especially at the moment..
I don’t like Thyme or Dill….Sshhh,,,let’s keep that quiet.
I use greek yoghurt frequently. I admit to liking fresh dill. Thyme though. urp.
pssssssssssssssst I don’t like rosemary. I KNOW I KNOW!
I like the idea of rosemary but gag at the real thing. Like little sharp sticks.
Itâs like Vickâs rub flavor
So many of us gagging at rosemary or thyme. Are you with me if I throw out those two herbs? I’m not going to try to like them.
With a good bread, who needs a meal? LOL
Is it just me, or does anyone else see Grey Gardens in the future for Sutton?
All dressed up waving an American flag, wearing sparkly sequined shorts and a weird bathing cap! COUTURE, of course!
Iâm thinking I should have a a Grey Gardens Fourth of July party.
I hope I’m invited. Digs through closet to find very very old couture.
I had to google Grey Gardens and now I am fixated.
Sigmund Freud is claimed to have said that the Irish were the only race impervious to psychoanalysis, I will get back to you on that after I track down the movie and watch it.
I will be gate crashing the 4th July party if it happens.
“You know, people are very, very sensitive. No one takes into account how sensitive a person really is⌠Everybody is terribly sensitive. And other people donât understand how sensitive a human being is. They donât understand it. So they run roughshod over everybody.” – Little Edie
I have just found the documentary on Youtube – lunch, glass of wine and Grey Gardens time.
High 5 Atropa Belladonna
There is a 2009 movie, starring Drew Barrymore and Jessica Lange. Based on true story.
There is a 1976 documentary by the Mayseles brothers (Gimme Shelter, about Altamont).
BOTH are worth watching. BOTH are in the âstranger than fictionâ category.
Things I noticed about this episode ” Erika frickin’ SLAYED in the dress at the awards banquet! Wow she looked amazing! I really like Denise and I dont disagree with anything she is saying about her kids and she is right, they need to drop it. Dorit looked beautiful but ridiculous at the barbeque. And Kyle is being such a bitch this season and I have always adored her, I just dont get it? Did the Bravo big wigs give a huge bonus to become so nasty??? Oh Aaron. Dear sweet single digit IQ Aaron…sit down and shut up. I appreciate how he stuck up for Denise and tried to shut it down but after his initial point, his word salad lost me totally???
The rest of the season is going to be EVERYTHING!!!!! Cant wait. But why do we have to see Brandi back??? Why did they invite her to shit talk Denise?? TT do you think that Denise truly had no idea this was going to happen this season? Do the Bravo big wigs give a heads up??? curious…
Brandi back feels like a producer move. She makes no sense and hasnât been in other than to stir the pot.
IMO Denise is tired from her day job – “I’ve been up since 4” “I’ve got 30 pages of dialog to memorize” – and it’s definitely affecting her BS quota for the BH ladies. I feel kind of sorry for her, she should have sat this one out.
I agree with you. I think her BS raider is full and she doesn’t have time for it. It seems like Kyle has forgotten what it entails to be an actress.
It took me ages to get through this episode, I kept switching off my brain and had to rewind… perhaps I’m over RHOBH.
You are doing it wrong. You have to switch off the brain Before watching. Here to help.
Canât believe Aaron threatened to physically crush Deniseâ hand as they were walking out! Horrible to say that to any woman let alone your wife! He really said that, right? Production wouldnât edit the subtitles to make him look even worse, would they?
I think it was said completely out of frustration from dealing with these ladies. I say things all the time out of frustration but do I mean it no. I say it and get over it. Do I think Aaron is abusive to Denise, absolutely not. I think he loves her dearly and was only defending his wife.
How did I miss that?
TT, I missed it too! I’m sorry I deleted the show from my DVR – I want to go back and listen as they were leaving the “BBQ”.
I watched it again, I think he realized how hard he was holding her hand, not threatening. But who knows…
I thought Denise was squeezing his hand, so he overreacted. He was super pissed.
I thought that too, Nanette. At first I was like “What?” Then I watched again. I think he tried to pull away and Denise grabbed his hand again for support and that’s why he said that. He was pretty upset.
It looked like after Aaron said that, Denise reached for his hand as they were nearing the gate & it looked like he pulled his hand back so she looped her arm through his instead.
Oh please. It was said out of frustration. I’ve been married for 30 years and both of us have said nasty things in the heat of the moment
Looks like Teddi stopped being LVP’s attack dog and switched to sitting on Kyle’s lap. I am liking Kyle less and less, she was smarter to play second fiddle because stepping up to queen bee is really exposing the true Kyle. And it’s not flattering. It really rubbed me the wrong way when she said Denise “looked like a ragamuffin.” Kyle- that woman can rock jeans and a tshirt and outshine you in anything your glam squad comes up with. The woman does not need to try, nor does she pretend to be anyone but herself. Take notes.
I am NOT here for everyone attacking Denise. “My kids are here”- Dorit (and teddy), your children are young and completely unaware. Rinna’s and most of Kyle’s children are adults, and the younger ones aren’t there either. You loudly continued talking about penises, vaginas, and sex acts in front of younger teenagers after being REPEATEDLY asked to stop. I have those talks with my friends on adult nights, but I would be livid if someone spoke like that around my 8 year old. I wouldn’t bring my kids around it either, no excuses necessary.
I wish I could be as casually sexy as Denise. She throws on a pair of jeans and a tank top, and still looks sexier than the women who spend hours with a makeup person and a stylist.
I don’t think Kyle plays the queen bee well. And, frankly, I don’t like seeing anyone being a queen bee, because that’s when mean girl shit happens. Kyle seems to be trying to play some kind of role, with a new hairstyle, new clothes, harsher makeup, etc. and it’s not going over well. She is also pulling an LVP queen been stunt by focusing a light on someone else, instead of having her own damn story line.
I admire Denise. And Aaron has a touch of the crazy, but I admire him standing up for his wife.
Iâve thoroughly enjoyed everyoneâs comments .. thank you! I had a thought … Denise is going through court stuff with the father of her kids. I know when Iâve had to do that, I am extremely sensitive to anything being said or done around my kids. I know Charlie has quite the history and everything is tame in comparison but I wonder if sheâs just trying to walk a straight line until that is settled. I think she had every right to ask the women to curb the conversation at the dinner with kids around. Itâs so stupid for everyone to be making a big deal out of it rather than owning the fact that they werenât considerate of their hostessâs request. And she asked 5 times!!! It seems so âridiculousâ (Aaronâs favorite word last night) that this has been made into a âthingâ. Kind of like the panties. Ugh!! Glad to hear banjo ate the rice and thank you, all, for the comments. Been having a very rough time with the quarantine and my ex being able to drag me through court BS when the courts arenât even open. This is a safe place for me and Iâm grateful.
Good luck with your ex! In this age and time, no one needs that kind of stress.
Ditto! You keep doing what is right. I got screwed (my daughter ultimately paid the price) but I stuck to protecting her and although we were wronged, we are so good and happy it probably happened for a reason. Keep that head up, you won’t regret it!
Thatâs encouraging and exactly my goal .. keep going and be happy.
Thank you!
Maybe you should not watch Dirty John Season 2. The Betty Broderick story. It might give you ideas. I am #teambetty.
Ha!! Youâre not kidding!!
Me too! She supported him while he obtained his education/degrees. Then, he was done, ready for a new younger model. I wouldâve snapped!
Kyle sure plays the victim card a lot this season. She feels everything is a slight against her and takes it all so personally. I guess I never used to notice it as much because I was very much team Kyle until recently. Sheâs too old to act so appalled all the time. Sheâd be an annoying sister, I can see why she has family issues.
I don’t understand why these women don’t get it about Denise’s kids. Why are they acting this way? If she was more freely talking about it in front of the kids they’d have something to say about that too. Most people don’t talk about that within ear shot of their kids. So what that Sammi laughed. Erika Jane making fun of Denise about it. Sutton suggesting she not bring the kids? Come in! Can they not conduct themselves as adults for rvrn one evening? Denise fixed her wagon. She didn’t bring them. Good for Denise! I’m getting sick to death of Rinna. Never thought I’d say that.
I completely agree. I personally thing Kyle feels an immense responsibility to âbring good footageâ to the show now that she has almost taken responsibility for LVP not being on anymore. I donât think any of it has to do with actual feelings about any of the situations.
Personally Iâve never enjoyed Erika, Iâm sick of her put on Adopted queer persona. Thereâs a lot more to gay culture than âreadingâ and being shady. You have to be humble to get away with that part and unfortunately sheâs never had to be humbled in a way that the LGBT community constantly has to be.
Anyway thatâs my soap box. Iâm only here for Sutton And Garcelle, both of whom seem a lot less self aware, which makes me believe they are not acting
hey TT, glad to hear banjo is feeling better and ate rice! and glad to see you are safe in GA. i used to be in ATL so much for work and now i miss it… anyhow, iâve been waiting for your recap of the finale of âkilling eveâ .. thanks for all you and your recapers (is that a word) do to us sane
Loving Sutton but how slim are her legs!
I donât disagree with Denise BUT clearly what they are all alluding to is she was saying the penis and happy ending comments ON TELEVISION. Clearly a different scenario to gossip amongst girlfriends. The kids will hear about it anyway.
But she didn’t say all that in front of her kids. Yes, TV, but she was trying to have a balance. I am totally Team Denise right now. She has dealt with a crazy ex, is raising a special needs child, and is an active working housewife. Unlike most of the others. So she has to get up for a crazy schedule? Kyle would kill for that!
I think Denise’s biggest concern were her daughter’s friends over hearing the conversation. Everybody already knows how crazy CS is and so I am sure she was being a little more sensitive to her daughter’s friends. She probably didn’t want them to go back to their parents about the conversation that they over heard.
Teddi and Kyle are just spiteful and I can see why theyâre friends. Teddi is probably the only person that looks up to Kyle so Kyle laps it up. Kyle has gotten too big for her boots and getting LVP off the show has gone to her head. Itâs not a bad edit sheâs just as awful as sheâs always been. Whenever sheâs in the hot seat sheâll just cry her way out of it. Itâs beyond boring. Iâm really enjoying Garcelle and Sutton. I donât think Aaron was overreacting at all. Teddi and Kyle are going to play victim and pretend they were threatened by him though, I can see it already. Then the pawn Brandi turns up in 2 episodes to âtake down Deniseâ ugh. I really hope this show returns to its roots and gets rid of its producer driven plots. Pantygate, puppygate, threesomegate, lesbiangate… BORING! I want to see more of Sutton arguing with the mayor over her parking tickets whilst wearing an $8000 skirt.
I love this. Real actually rich housewives doing rich people things that we can snark at.
I’m with Tam. Rich people doing rich things we can snark about. Garcelle and Sutton are what I watch for.
I am so disgusted by this whole “Denise do your kids know about your sex life story line.” I WISH Denise would have said, Kyle do your kids know you are only relevant because of their cousin’s sex tape? I like Denise and I usually don’t get this emotionally attached to a reality star but their ganging up on her is terrible. Obviously she has to work very hard as a parent to make sure her kids know her and their father as mom and dad and not Charlie Sheen and Denise Richards.
Thank you! That part makes me sick as well. Like oh well they have wild parents so we can say whatever we want to. Erika gets so hateful about her two identities but struggles with the fact that Denise is an actress? Um ok. And letâs not forget that Charlie is taking Denise back to court over custody issues which is probably why Denise is being so cautious this season. Then to drag Brandi out of the gutter to drag Denise and her sex life some more is almost as low as a HW franchise as sunk.
I guess I am the lone weirdo who doesnât think Aaron is a nutjob. Then again, I am California born and raised. His theories are popular among the crystal-crunching community. People used to laugh at folks who took Vitamin C and ate yogurt.
I would love if someone gave me an EMF device in a Faraday bag. Kyle couldnât even say thank you. She could have been gracious and told Aaron sheâd like to learn more when she wasnât playing hostess. I would so love it if she tried it for a headache and â MIRACLE! And then she would have to eat crow.
In our shop we have all kinds of crystals. I can definitely now talk the talk! Which ones are for protection, whichâs ones are for love etc. etc. itâs a positive environment and I love it!
If we understand that the moon has control of tides and we are made up of mostly water (sorry, Portnoy) and coroners factor the full moon into homicides and suicides, is it THAT BIG of a leap to give free dance to magnetic influence and the effects of stones? I think not. (Except when people spread myths, opals are NOT bad luck. That came about from a fictional work by Sir Walter Scott in the 1800s.)
Creedence, not free dance.
I like Aaron, too. And the reaction to the gift was rude and bordering on ridicule, very high school. I do think, however, it never works when the husbands try to jump into the housewife fray, thinking they can tell the lot of them how things really are and straighten them all out. It just usually backfires on the wife. Seems to happen a lot in a cast member’s second season. If the husband is smart, he eventually fades back into the play area with the other husbands and kids while he waits for his wife to finish filming.
Didn’t Erika practically reprimand Sutton last week with, “You’re in my house” in response to something Sutton said? And Sutton backed right off. Seems like when the tables were reversed, though, when Erika was at Denise’s and, when asked to keep it down by Denise, Erika thought it was fine to ignore the hostess’ request.
Not born or raised here, but 20 some years in socal. I love your posts. I’m pretty sure I say “like” too often and say the 405 or the 10. Hugs and stay safe.
I spent most of my time in NorCal and a short time in Silverlake â when it was beautiful and still funky and cheap. I am not one of the NorCal vs. SoCal, I love it all from Eureka to San Diego and most everything in between. I think some of the haters are not just lifestyle, but water. But, hey, itâs Chinatown… You stay safe in the 405!
I still like Kyle. I want to like Garcelle, and did at first, but I just think her issue w/Kyle is ridiculous. I keep thinking âgot to be production driven.â Even Erika commented that they really have not spent much time with Garcelle. Then, clips played showing all the things Garcelle was absent for. Iâm sick of all the comments about Kyle and Teddi. I think itâs asinine that there is even an issue over them being close friends. RHOC has Tamra & Vicki, then the Tres Amigas (barf). RHOP has Robyn and Gizelle who are tight. Kandi & Phaedra were tight for awhile. Cynthia and Nene were best friends for a bit, now Cynthia and Kenya are tight. WTF does it matter if Kyle and Teddi are tight. It just looks like desperation to create conflict over something this stupid.
Like ALMOST everything else they get their panties bunched about. Stupid.
Then Denise makes a request that she should not have had to make â especially to mothers â and they turn it around to ALL ABOUT ME. âI am being âmom shamedâ â etc.
I WANT MY MTV!
The shows are all blending in for me, I talk about RHONY on RHOBH. I half ass watch the shows, and forget what day it is.
IKR?!
Someone mentioned RHoA, so I don’t feel completely lost
Just a reminder, TT, that the RHOBH ladies will battle Andy Cohen’s team on Celebrity Family Feud June 7, 2020. Will you watch?
No sure. I am watching a show on demand now and can’t get to my DVR. Sunday nights are usually packed.
am I the only one that thinks the Bravo hiatus for RHOBH is due to the Brandi-Denise Richards alleged fling? If Denise has a cease and desist order against Brandi talking about it, I’d think she’d file one against Bravo as well. Messing with people’s marriages is serious. And very personal. Has there ever been a mistress come forward and state that they’re having an affair with one of the husbands? I don’t think so. I would think that is off-limits. Innuendos maybe, but that’s it. Yes, I know RHONY is on hiatus too but I think that is a red herring.
It’s not. It’s just production delays.
