It's been commented on a few occasions - on the show, that is - that Sheldon is actually a great cook, he just doesn't want to do it often. And just late last season, in "The Cognition Regeneration", Sheldon made croissants that Raj described as better than sex.

Like so many things on the show Sheldon is a great cook until he isn't. I think he should have thought twice before attempting rancid butter or whatever made them both heaving in the bathroom sick.

Seems like they would be more likely to get food poisoning from something involving the meat/fat, rather than the butter. But considering the cream/butter was without refrigeration for at least 9 hours and was also exposed to the churn which may not even have been designed to actually be used to begin with - just a decoration - anything is possible. Maybe they even got ganged up on from multiple sources of uncleanliness.

The real question is, does he make sex that is better than croissants?

Would you ask Amy, or Raj?

I'm going to go with Amy. Of the two, she's more likely to have had both.

1. Yay to the icing flowers, as long as it's quality icing - I'm one of those people who can eat frosting right from the can, but if it's cheap and artificial tasting, then ew. But I'm usually happy to get a piece with a flower on it.

2. Perhaps Sheldon's ocd expectations and prep would be exhausting, while the coitus itself is short? (P.S. did anyone else believe that Sheldon and Amy had graduated to doing it more than once a year? I thought comments had been made to that effect. Maybe they meant everything but coitus? I'm confused.)

3. I think it can hit you within an hour or so depending on the cause.

4. Snarky pan-sexual goth(ish) man (guess)

2.That's a good point about the foreplay. I'm more of a "cut to the chase" girl myself, so I can imagine that foreplay with Sheldon's requirements WOULD be exhausting. And I thought I had heard comments about them increasing the frequency of their coitus, too, although now I can't pinpoint to where and when. I'm as confused as you are, sis.

4.Hmmm... You've stumped me Lady G! I'm gonna have to leave this one to the superhero experts.

LOL at cut to the chase - most men would agree. I'm a bit more high maintenance in that I insist on cleanliness immediately prior to - OCD, you know.

The snarky goth(ish) dude is Deadpool

Yeah, after a small opening ceremony I'm ready to get on to the main event. You know, kind of like a concert. I'm rarely there for the opening act.

And good one on Deadpool! I actually know who that is!! (Don't know anything about him, but I know who that is!!)

In this way, I am even more OCD than Sheldon. At home, I make my own food, and nobody better come near me or it unless I'm cooking for others - then everyone needs to back off until dinner is served. Eating at a restaurant is tougher - I have a few favorites and when we stray, it tweaks me - but I evaluate the situation and can usually power through. Dishes and cookware must be clean - no way I would've used that ancient butter churn unless I sterilized it thoroughtly. I sent a glass of wine back at fancy restaurant a couple of weeks ago because there were obvious lip prints all around the glass rim - even my husband said it looked bad, and nothing fazes him.

Food prepared at someone else's house is a real problem. Again, I evaluate the situation and strategically choose what I will eat. If necessary, I will go to the sink and wash a dish. It can be exhausting and stressful, but I just tell myself that I'm a grown adult and I have the right to not eat something if I don't want to. If I offend someone, that's pretty much their problem.

Sorry ladies I just don't see Deadpool as Goth. Not that I am an expert on either superheroes or gothiness. If I think of goth and superheroes/comics I think of The Crow or The Sandman (no not our old poster from the other side) . Not that anyone cares....

A series of questions with which I came up after this week's show. Perhaps if the questions themselves do not impress, my sentence structure in that first sentence will.

1.Icing cake flowers: Yay or Nay?

2.Leonard predicted that Sheldon and Amy's coitus would be exhausting and short. Um... if it's short, how's it gonna be exhausting?

3.Didn't they start up with food poisoning symptoms too soon? I think it takes like 6 hours or something? They should have told us what they had eaten for lunch.

4.The knock-off wonder woman on the bounce house was named "Happy strong swimsuit lady". (I think.) Name another superhero and give them a new literal name. (Feel free to use the same superhero that someone else does if you also have a good name.)

Me:
1.Absolutely nay. It's diabeetus in nature's clothing.

4.Iron Man: Cocky smart metal-suit man

-1. Candy by any other name .

-2.

-3. Not too soon. Time-wise, I have two theories: (1) depends on what you ingested; (2) some folks' system can fight it off longer than others.

-4. Wise Backward Talking Master Teacher.

I would agree with you that The Crow is very goth-like. Probably the gothiest of all comic book superheroes/anti heroes. Good call. (P.S. I love crows, of course.)

Sandman is just creepy, in a very creepy way. Some equate creepy creepiness to gothish-ness, but I disagree - one can be goth without being creepily creepy, and vice-versa.

As for Deadpool, he's more snarky and sarcastic, with a bit of a dark edge. So I would agree that he is probably not very goth-like. But perhaps a little. At the time, I thought that maybe that description might help with the identification.

Hope that clears things up re: gothiness, gothish-ness, and so forth...
