okay so ages ago i starting making a barefoot contessa drinking game. feel free to add on

Drink every time she says:

- How easy is that?

- That something can be served at room temperature

- Not to blitz the soup too much because no one likes baby food

- That she is turning the volume up on something

- Good vanilla

- Decedent

- That she loves the texture of something

- How easy it is to make chicken stock

- Only add wine that you would drink

- She’s adding wholegrain mustard because she wants it to look like mustard

- Moist

- Good dijon mustard

- Jeffrey’s going to love this

- It couldn’t be easier/simpler

- But store bought will do

- This is going to be really good

- You can’t taste the coffee but it really brings out the flavour of the chocolate

- This is going to bake at x, for x minutes and when it comes out it’s going to be x, x and x 

Drink every time this happens:

- She tastes her own food and moans, slowly taking the spoon/fork out of her mouth, with her eyes shut

- She cooks chicken for Jeffrey

- She adds mayonnaise

- One of her friends seems uncomfortable

- Jeffrey is sent out to buy wine

- Jeffrey prepares a surprise for Ina despite the fact she does not like surprises

- They have a pot luck dinner

- She cooks for a party but is not invited

- Michael does the flowers/table setting for a party but is not invited

- She makes a lemon vinaigrette

- She sticks her tongue out in disgust

- She makes an innuendo

- She adds unnecessary alcohol

- She lists the ingredients in a bowl as she’s mixing it

- TR buys the meal he was supposed to cook

- She does 90% of the work for a party someone else is hosting

- A friend of Ina’s awkwardly narrates their flower arranging, table setting or cooking

- A friend of Ina’s conveniently turns up just as she finishes cooking

- Ina has her arm wrapped tight around the shoulders of a friend who is taller than her

Are we supposed to get alcohol poisoning during this or what?

Saving 20 odd dollars a week by not going to Dunkin Donuts for coffee isn’t going to help when the working poor’s real problem is worrying about being able to still make rent if they miss work due to the flu, so let’s stop pretending like this “junior piggybank savers/guilt the poor out of simple comforts” technique is a viable solution to the problem of stagnating wages and skyrocketing living costs.
