\*_Astroboy stands amidst the clutter and ruin of this Iron Chef thread… he sighs, raises his eyes, and says, “So, what about it **Java**? You gonna marry me or what?”_

Sure, what the heck. I’ll marry you. But, you gotta keep **Astrofiancee** around… we’ll need someone to do the dishes. 😃

Kitchen Stadium is quiet and dark, except for a few stagelights highlighting dirty pots and greasy cutting boards.

A faint glitter catches my eye across the room.

**Chairman Fenris’** jacket lies draped across a chair, lifeless without its charming wearer. A tear falls down my cheek. I wipe it away, and with a small grin, I pick it up. Surprisingly heavy, I think to myself, but for all the spangles and rhinestones, of course…

I try it on. A little big about the shoulders, and rather long. I remember my sewing machine back home, and smile. Jacket folded over my arm, I glance back at Kitchen Stadium one last time, and make my exit.

I’m sorry I missed the judgin for the chili battle.

Congrats to javamaven, and Tornado Siren on a truly excellent battle.

BTW: TOnight’s Iron Chef battle featured a Somelier vs. Iron Chef Kobe.

The Somelier chose wines to represent each of the judges. For Chairman Kaga he chose a nice red, and described it as matching Kaga perfectly. It was “both very fruity, and somewhat bitter.”

I almost fell out of my chair. And, the look on Kaga’s face was priceless.
