Coulda; Woulda; Shoulda

14th Nov

While Charlotte is frustrated that she’s can’t get pregnant despite her efforts with Trey, Miranda has the exact opposite problem: her lazy ovary combined with Steve’s lonely ball somehow managed to get her pregnant in what Samantha called "a mercy fuck" ("he only had one ball", Miranda justifies). Although she’s decided to have an abortion, she isn’t sure about whether or not to tell Steve. Carrie thinks she should, despite never having told a waiter from The Saloon that she got an abortion herself after a drunk one night stand over a decade ago.

Just Say Yes

17th Nov

Upset with the idea of having to move out because her building is going co-op, Carrie faces an even bigger problem: Aidan suggested that they mov in together after he bought both Carrie’s and the next door apartment to make one big place for them. It’s a big step that needs some thinking time, which is not helped when Carrie accidentally discovers an engagement ring among Aidan’s stuff. This makes her question if Aidan is really "the one" and if she is ready for it. But then again, are we ever ready? An unexpected bump into Big doesn’t really help her, especially when the ring she saw has nothing to do with her – never mind that it was Miranda who helped him pick it out. Finally, when she’s not expecting, Aidan kneels and pops the question. The right timing, the right place – and most important, the right ring – make Carrie say yes. Meanwhile, Miranda faces a proposal too, after she tells Steve she’s pregnant with his child. But, unlike Carrie, Miranda is definitely not ready for marriage – especially with a secondhand ring – and so they decide to raise the kid together, but separated. Samantha flies off to Rio with her new boss and doesn’t wait long before entering the mile-high club, while Charlotte anticipates herself and enrolls to adopt a Mandarin baby.
 

The Good Fight

18th Nov

Maybe having Aidan move in wasn’t such a good idea, as Carrie feels her apartment overcrowded with stuff that isn’t hers and noise that disturbs her alone time. Things only get worse once Carrie’s old neighbor tells her she’s not moving out until the end of the month, postponing Aidan’s plans of breaking the walls. After a big fight, Carrie and Aidan spend three days without talking to each other, until she breaks and apologizes first. Turns out there’s a lot more about moving in than just throwing out some one-time-worn clothes in order to make room for your future husband’s stuff.

Charlotte, now over Trey, is ready to find her next great love, whereas Carrie wonders if she’s all out of great loves, now that Big and Aidan are gone. Carrie turns to Manhattan for romance and discovers that the only company that she can find is a fellow single woman…one who likes to mix her prescription drugs with her ice cream! She jumps at the opportunity when a sailor invites her to the Fleet Week party. At the end of the night though, she realises that until she can let go of her past two relationships, she cannot date anymore and goes home alone… Meanwhile, Samantha is on a mission to get back at Richard. First she throws a Martini in his face and then puts posters all around his neighbourhood calling him a "cheater" and "liar"! Charlotte also flirts with an officer who isn’t quite a gentleman.

Unoriginal Sin

Meanwhile, Carrie avoids her editor by all means thinking she’s going to get fired, but turns out he just wanted to tell her she’s been offered a book deal. Hesitant, Carrie is asked to write an introduction and answer the question: "is there hope for single women?". To help her figure out the answer, Charlotte takes her to a positivism course, where she learns that although seemingly a positivist, Charlotte is a big negativist. More than that, she’s got a broken heart. And Miranda has to handle a request she can’t deny: Steve asks Brady to be baptized.

Meanwhile, Charlotte is increasingly fearful that she’s become an ‘old maid’. To combat this rather frightning thought, she stuns the girls with her new racy, red lipstick look - a result of an Atlantic City style makeover. Carrie realizes people go to casinos for the same reason they go on blind dates - hoping to hit the jackpot, but wonders: If we know the house always wins, why gamble? Samantha’s suspicions become unbearable as she watches the busty casino ladies show off their ‘assets’ to Richard - She tells Richard that she loves him but she loves herself more. She leaves behind the mega diamond ring and the pearl thong he just gave her and walks out the door.

Summer Salad

9th Nov

It’s summer and Jamie’s garden is producing row after row of gorgeous lettuce and salad leaves. Jamie starts with an explanation about the basic principles of dressings and makes a simple green salad. Herbs are a brilliant part of a salad or summer dish and Jamie makes a herb and tomato crostini. Brian and Jamie look at what can be grown in a small space – they’ve grown rocket in welly boots, mixed leaves in boxes and lettuce in old bathtubs. There’s no excuse for not growing some greenery - even if you only have a windowsill at your disposal, you’ll be inspired to have a go. Using a variety of leaves from the garden Jamie uses them to form the basis of a lovely roasted peach and bresaola salad with feta and a yoghurt dressing. The wood oven at Jamie’s Essex home looks like Tuscany on this beautiful summers day and the rustic Caesar salad Jamie makes in it is a perfect shared lunch

The freshness and vibrancy of the dishes Jamie makes leaves you no doubt that growing your own tomatoes is a must in any garden, large or small. Jamie’s tomato salad looks unbelievably sumptuous and the fusilli with salsa rossa cruda is knockout. The oven baked sausage ragu is simple and rustic and a beautiful pale pink tomato and vodka consommé top and tails the show and is a treat for Brian the gardener.

Pickles and Preserves

30th Nov

In this programme Jamie explains the history of pickling and preserving. If you have grown your own produce you’ll want to save it and keep it for as long as you can or use the excess when you have a bumper crop.
