Shut up and cook Besh!
The guy is a good cook but he natters away like an old hen while he is doing it.
LOL. Poor Besh got mugged by Moochelle’s people and wonders what happened. He still can’t figure it out. He apparently didn’t follow the script he was given. Now he’ll never be invited back again. I didn’t realize he was that naive.
The poor fellow should stick to cooking.
He doesn’t tend to cook light, although he often does.
Lots of Roux and lots of Bechemel with cheese.
Now wheres’ dem onion, bell pepper,celery, sausage and dem macaroni?
I bet Moochie never turned down Gumbo, or Fried Chicken or Mac and Cheese
No Siree Bob
