Music adapted from Meredith Arthur's Meditative Story, "Ignoring inner me."Greeted by a gentle piano, a melody conjuring childhood curiosity and innocence soon begins. Deepened by strings and open drones - the melody shifts to one of reflection and contemplation – like the coziest window nook on a rainy day. We're then led into a world of ambient noises – the inner machinations of gray matter – made smooth with sampled guitar, uncoiling tensions, and inspiring deep rest.Original music from composer Ryan Holladay.Meditative Story combines extraordinary human stories with meditation prompts embedded into the storylines — all surrounded by breathtaking music. Think of it as an alternative way into a mindfulness practice, through vivid stories and cinematic music and production values. Find Meditative Story wherever you listen to podcasts.

There are plenty of uses for roasted red peppers, and though a jar of them will do in a pinch, freshly roasted and skinned peppers are easy enough to do yourself. This method involves a little more energy than others-a little dinner-prep calisthenics.

Nikki Cascone gets put on the non-golden team in a wedding-catering challenge, and she's dinged for not stepping up and taking responsibility. Meanwhile, Dale shows his petulant side, again. Lisa pouts, again. Nikki talks to Meredith Arthur about her love of the adrenaline rush in the kitchen and her tyrannical tendencies—which didn't show through on Top Chef. Plus, her previous experience as a reality TV star on Dog Days.
Erik Hopfinger has to serve high-end Mexican cooking to Rick Bayless, the king of high-end Mexican cooking. And Erik just isn't on board. Padma helpfully declares that Chicago is "a city made up of neighborhoods." In one of those neighborhoods, there is a block party, where Erik's soggy corn dogs (chefs: lose the sog) are a bust, but as he explains to Meredith Arthur, he's happy to be set free and has some thoughts about what Andrew's on.
Meredith Arthur interviews Valerie Bolon, who sogs up her blini in episode 2 and is sent packing. The beginning of the show depicts Valerie and her friend Stephanie working out together: Did Stephanie's crunches prepare her better than Valerie's stretches? Would Antonia have chosen Valerie if she had sweated it out a little harder? Or perhaps if any of them knew the difference between a Bellini and blini? And the question everyone wants answered: How much of a total spaz is Andrew, really?
