One of my favorite new shows on Showtime is Dead Like Me. It took a little while, but the feel of the show has started to really grow on me. Plus it's got Mandy Patinkin being abrasive, and he seems to do really well with roles like that (at times this reminds me of his role as Dr. Geiger on Chicago Hope). Last week he had a line about cooking that I thought was absolutely wonderful.
A dish is a collection of flavors, consistencies, You start swapping ingredients in that carefully thought out melange, it's like fucking with the Jenga tower of taste.
