It’s TV night which means special dessert night as I watch Harper’s Island. I must have goo while watching soft gore. Because I didn’t want to bake chocolate chip cookies so I could duplicate last weeks dessert I decided I’d go pick up some cookie dough. I was feeling so lazy that I went ahead and got precut dough. I didn’t even feel like slicing it. I wanted precut. Now that’s lazy. I figured all I had to do was open the package, pop them on a pan and bake them. If only it could be that simple. I’ll be danged if Nestle Toll House cookies weren’t recalled yesterday. Now I’m forced to return the item to the store notorious for recalls and actually bake. Kroger grocery store is forever recalling something. They even started listing on your receipt past purchases that end up on the FDA’s recall list. Now that’s bad.
I wanted dessert and TV not dessert, TV and E. coli.
This is from the FDA website concerning E. coli symptoms:
E. coli O157:H7 causes abdominal cramping, vomiting and a diarrhea illness, often with bloody stools. Most healthy adults can recover completely within a week. Young children and the elderly are at highest risk for developing HUS, which can lead to serious kidney damage and even death.
According to this time frame I’d be healthy by next week, right on time to again watch Harper’s Island. At least I wouldn’t miss my show. Jimmy’s the killer, I just know it.

Sorry, but I have to ask the obvious: why not just buy a package of cookies– or cookies from the bakery? Hope you didn’t miss your show.
LOL Because I wanted them warm. LOL
I didn’t miss the show but I kinda wish I had. They took us from near mind numbing cheesy TV to emotional turmoil and hectic father/daughter relationships. Gosh!!!! It was suppose to be cheesy not sadness as she watched her father’s lifeless body hanging from a dang tree. WTH????? Come on now!!!!
I’ll watch next week’s show but if they pull another scene like they did tonight I’ll drop them like a bad habit. I want cheesy killing that makes me go, “See, now that’s just wrong” not graphic killing that makes me go “OMG you can’t come back from witnessin’ that.”
Argh!!! I’m not happy. I’m not happy at all. Dang these people. First the cookies now a jacked up show. Can I get a recall on this last episode?

“They even started listing on your receipt past purchases that end up on the FDA’s recall list. Now that’s bad.”
I don’t know why but I just cannot stop laughing at this.
You always make my day Austin,

I think it’s a list meant to show how many times we’ve taken our lives into our own hands by shopping at their store. Kroger’s beef is constantly being recalled. Those people kill me… maybe that’s the plan.
I think their sale flyers should say, “Take advantage of our sales, if you’re feeling lucky. Are you feeling lucky?”
I like the lowe’s food brand dough. Very yummy. And in a pinch, you can take packaged Chips aHoy soft cookies and microwave them for 12 seconds.
I was disappointed in Harper’s Island – although I did like it when the woman got shoved off the roof because I didn’t see that coming.
So I guess the killer is Wakefield. Now the question is why.
I don’t know, Saturday’s show was too emotional. We saw Abby cry her eyes out because she thought Jimmy got killed then we saw the moment between her and her dad before he was killed. I hope they don’t keep doing that. They should stick to the killing and leave emotions out of it.
I figured that woman from the hotel was going to get killed cause she got cocky. “This isn’t about me, it’s about you.” Next thing ya know she’s dead. I expected her to be shot but no they had to hang her. That was kinda out there but right in line with why I watch the show. It got the response of, “that’s just wrong.”
I think Wakefield is killing again because Abby’s back in town and he had an affair with her mother. I guess too there’s another killer involved. I didn’t for a second believe Jimmy was dead. That was too easy. I think he’s the other killer because he’s pissed Abby left and took his love for granted. I suppose that’s a reason to wipe out half the people on the island. Who knows… one thing’s for certain, the little girl Madison continues to freak me out with her monotone and straight faced lines. That character is whacked. How did they make a 9 year old little girl scare the crap out of me? I wouldn’t want to turn my back on her for a second. Yikes!!!
Anyway, they’d better not disappoint me next week by tossing in emotions and complex relationships. They should stick to senseless loss of life like any good slasher film would do.
How’s that for a Harper’s Island review?
Austin
That little girl reminds me of the little girl on the original Exorcist movie. Freaky! And the “one by one” gives me shivers no matter how many times I hear it.
Ok, would someone kindly tell me what channel this show is on? I’m curious now to watch it and see what all the hoopla’s about.
It’s CBS which is channel 8 here. It comes on Saturday at 9PM EST. I’m not sure what time that is where you are.
