Had it with the Food Channel...

Oh Boy!!! Booby has more money than........

I'm guessing he has no idea who these people are or that he has time or desire to care. It is typical Booby Flake.

Just like his "I am going to steal that!" lines about the recipes, from the shows he does?

He seems to mostly take recipes and modify them to his own use. The more I see of him, the more I think that he has never "invented" his own recipes.

It's always about 'taking' recipes/concepts them adding ancho peppers. I see he's drifted away from mango salsa the last few years.

I was surprised about the article, I figured he'd steal recipes and that was it.

It just reinforces the idea that he's not the nice guy that people think he is.

Ina Garten is a real tool.

I had the FN on the tube and left it on while I was in the kitchen.

The program was about her visiting a friend and helping her cook some kind of pastry.

She had to stop and get the woman a 'piping set' to decorate the top of the thing that they were making. They started to cook and IG began to explain what to do. I thought she was kinda rude and thought she treated the gal like a dummy.

When the pastry was done?

IG sat at the table with another woman while the 'student' brought the thing to the table, then as any royal would do, she instructed the other woman to hand her the knives on the counter.

It's the IG show. You can tell the by bringing her friends on, she isn't shown up by a star. Plus, I get a kick out of her friends. The women hold her up with proper awe and the guys are FABULOUS!

IG gets more arrogant as the time goes by. I didn't like her much to begin with but she has moved into my top 5 of strong dislikes.

She is so full of herself. All she talks about is how great her food is. She has little to offer in my book. Most of the recipes I've seen her do are copies of someone else. It's sad.

How is Jeffrey still married to her? I think it's because he has always worked a long way away from home and commutes.

Probably he does it to get away from her friends!

Fire engines sent to Blair's home

Three fire engines were sent to Tony Blair's home in Buckinghamshire after the former prime minister triggered smoke alarms while cooking breakfast.

Firefighters were summoned to the £6m South Pavilion in Wotton Underwood by an automatic alarm system, reports the Daily Telegraph.

Smoke had started to drift from the kitchen into other rooms in the seven-bedroomed house, but the first crew to arrive found no evidence of an actual fire.

The alarm was raised by automatic fire sensors at the Grade 1 listed home which is monitored by a security firm.

Control staff at the receiving centre immediately made a 999 call to the Buckinghamshire Fire and Rescue Service which mobilised three fire engines.

A spokesperson for the Blairs said: "The Blairs were cooking breakfast when the smoke alarm went off. Because they live in a Grade 1 listed building, the smoke alarm is automatically connected to the local fire station, so the fire brigade sprang into action immediately.

"In fact it was just smoke without a fire but by the time Mrs Blair rang the fire service to tell them they didn't need to come, they were already on their way.

"All rather embarrassing and she'll certainly be sending them a big thank you note."

I don't feel bad now.

I like the Barefoot Contessa, I think its cute how she gets all excited when Jeffrey comes home, they seem to be very much in love, its refreshing.

I was looking thru some blogs about the TVFN and learned that Guy's last name is FERRY, not Fieri.

I wonder if the channel changed it or if he did.

Guy Ferry? Oh my goodness. I'm guessing he changed it.

I see everybody on the Grilling show put the lid on the ground. Are they filming new episodes of that show?

caseysmom: I have to agree that Ina and Jeffrey are pretty cute together. They seem very happy. I seem to be liking her better, the more I watch the show. I like some of her friends too. T.R. is pretty cute. I think he's a model.

I can't get into Beverly Hill's Chef. I need to pay closer attention to it.

I'm still loving Pat Neely!!!!
