mirrorimageegamirorrim Posted April 12, 2019 Report Share Posted April 12, 2019 In "One Way Ticket" Tommy says she is eating nothing but trout and white wine for a week. I have always found this interesting because it's random that she was cooking in a garage and seems like a strange thing to include in an episode. Was the trout/white wine combination a dietary fad at that time or does it bear some other kind of special significance or is there nothing more to this than some filler dialogue? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mjcmmv Posted April 12, 2019 Report Share Posted April 12, 2019 I never thought about it, but it's an interesting question. Tommy was a lot of fun! The fact that she was a talented female car mechanic and Sonny trusted her with his "baby" made her pretty special and I wish she had been in more episodes. I think that scene of her cooking in the garage gave the impression that this was her home away from home-cars were her life, and she was in her element. As far as her menu goes, I picture her getting the trout from some other customer who liked to fish. Never had trout, so I can't relate to her enthusiasm, but it was funny. It also showed that she COULD cook, not just fix expensive "macho-mobiles"! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Interesting - I remember that now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bren10 Posted April 12, 2019 Report Share Posted April 12, 2019 Well fish and oftentimes tuna is a weightlifting thing. I think fish is considered a good way to get protein w/out the fat plus the fish oil. Wine is supposed to be good for the circulation but usually I hear red wine associated with that.

Robbie C. Posted April 12, 2019 Report Share Posted April 12, 2019 I think it was just a way for them to establish her as being eccentric. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I love it when she tells the guy at the bar “Skol” when he hasn't even asked to buy her a drink.
