OK, you probably don’t want to read the last entry I posted anyway. It is whiny. Criminally whiny, ha (this only makes sense if you read the last entry)!
Anyhoo, all I will say is that IT ALL BECOMES CLEAR NOW.
Did you know that saffron is the product of the stamen (male sex organ) of crocuses?
No? Neither did I until watching Barefoot Contessa’s LA Story episode (p.s., one of my favorite movies ever is L.A. Story, and it’s probably 50% of the reason I moved here, the other 25% being Jean Baudrillard’s America, which captured L.A. as the quintessential hyperreality, and the other 25% being I found a job here in the middle of the dot-com bomb, while my boyfriend at the time did NOT. EVER., hope he is not not reading this).
Anyway, the point is:
IT ALL BECOMES CLEAR NOW.
The Marcel/Ilan Top Chef Season 2 rib-jabbing over saffron?
Arguments over male organs. Of Crocuses. Of Course.
IT ALL BECOMES CLEAR NOW.

Sorry. I actually knew that. One of my friends had crocuses in her yard years ago and joked about trying to go out and harvest saffron from them, given its extremely high price.
Oh my god, thank you for explaining that. Marcel and Ilan so need to SHUT UP.
