Have you seen the commercial with the Top chef host, Padma in it?

I found it to be a turn off.

While the thought of a nice looking gal eat a hamburger on your front porch is kinda appealing, I don't want her to smell like "secret sauce" or red onion, or wiping her greasy fingers all over my pillows, later on.....

And if she's eating a burger with a bun littered with those little balck poopy seeds, I don't want her to stand up and spill them all over MY FLOOR.

Food is sexy, Spending a few hours with a SO in the kitchen is way better than a sloppy hamburger on some gum encrusted sidewalk.

An old college t-shirt, sweats cut into shorts and a pair of flip flops is my kind of dressing up for dinner.

Seriously, I have seen the commercial about 4 times and I still don't know what kind of hamburger it is.

The only thing I think about is the greasy clump of ketchup soaked meat, dropping off the burger and having to hear the moans and groans all night long...

"OHHH, this is my good dress!", "That will never come out!", Quick get some club soda!" "See what you made me do?"


If you can't pull the spoon out of the pot and hold it for your SO to taste?


It ain't sexy.

I have to toss this in.

If I see food on TV, I'll stop there and see "what's cooking" (pun intended)

Today I stopped at the QVC channel when I saw something being cooked.

They were selling tilapia filets-each 3.25 ounces- 14 for $44.95.

I checked the price per pound and it came out to 15 bucks a pound.

I bought a bag of four, gutted tilapia, individually wrapped- I have to check the price per pound and the weight of the packaging- I wrapped them in foil, tossed them on the outer edge of the grill. After they cooked I put them in a plastic bag for later in the week. I steamed veggies and tossed the fish on top for the last 5-7 minutes to heat.

Even thoough it's a spiny fish, it is one of the best eating fish you can have.
It's white, tasty meat that only needs salt and pepper as seasoning.

I know that boning fish for filets is an art, but I just can't see paying 15 dollars a pound for less than three lbs of fish! Half the fun is puling apart a fish with a fork and a piece of toast.
