Had it with the Food Channel...

[RICHARD]

Richard, if you're talking about Aaron McCardle's show....I think they showed the few episodes he made and they are taking a break. Aaron is on the road with Rachel Ray right now in her mobile teaching project.

Thanks!

LOL, I saw something that has me split on the whole idea.

I was watching Mike Chiarello cooking a dish where he made a batch of veggies-I think it was in the oven, roasted.

After he took the juice/broth from the bottom of the pan he tossed them into the trash. I thought that it was a waste, My dogs will eat veggies and love them-I thought about it and remembered that dogs should NOT GET ONIONS!

Hokay! Last night, AB made a dish and tossed the roasted veggies into the dog's dish! I didn't see the set up for either dish so I can't be sure onions were present, but name me a cook that doesn't use onions and I'll call it a travesty!

I guess if you don't cook onions with the mix you are O.K., but I was a little concerned about how one treated the subject opposed to the other.

LOL, I watch way too much cooking on TV and put too much effort into watching them as they cook!

I think his name is actually Aaron McCargo instead of what I wrote above. I don't know the spelling. I saw a piece with him in it last night and heard his name. Oops. I told myself I need to come back here and say something.

I watch so much cooking on tv, I convince myself that I'm a gourmet cook until I actually cook. Forget it.

You gotta wonder how some of that food actually tastes(I think I said this before but it always bugs me).

I've been dealing with insomnia and just not sleeping much at all, and so have been watching FN till about 5am when the infomercials come on. I saw a commercial for one of the Dinner Impossible shows and the new guy is having an issue getting it done, and Aaron McCargo shows up to help "save the day". Good to know he's still around, even if it's not on a show of his own.

I love watching the older Good Eats shows. I still adore Alton Brown, lol.

I watch the AB ROLLER infomercials to lose all the weight I gain while watching and eating my way thru late nightTVland.

I just can't do the Symon programs. IT seems like he panics to easily and doesn't have the 'panic mode' that Robert Irving had. This will probably be the last incarnation for this series.

I caught about 5 seconds of the Giada series with her sister, I don't know what is funnier-they way she treats her non-cooking sister or her sister admitting she don't know squat!

The weekend shows are coming up, see if I remember to watch some.

I did see part of part of the "Off the Hook-G Fieri" program. That was scary.

[Daisy and Delilah]

You're so funny, Richard.

Every time Giada has one of her relatives or friends on the show, she acts like they don't even know how to boil water. It really is sickening how arrogant she can be. I know all of her friends and family agree. Especially the ones that obviously know something about cooking.

You're so funny, Richard.

Especially the ones that obviously know something about cooking.

If there is an Italian woman on the planet who cannot cook, she married into the family.

I put on the FC as background noise and was tripping on TF and his ultimate show. He made a chicken pot pie.....He pulls out a chicken and says that it's organic, tastes good and really good for the enviroment.

He goes to the fridge and pulls out a dozen eggs in a plastic egg box....Um, I thought that plastic packaging wasn't good for the enviroment.

I did see and liked the Cooking in the Loft show, the hostess was kinda dopey, in a good way.

-------------

Oh, and I love the cuts to commercials on the programs. Those are the segments where the host tell you that they are going to finish things up when they come back from commercial and they continue cooking.

RR almost threw a header today. She's making some kind dish that goes into the oven and she squats down to slide it in. She'll be right back she reminds us, then does this 180 twist as she stands up so she can finish up. LOL, she did it so fast that you can see her stumble and almost throw her hand out to steady herself on the counter.....

---------

Ann Burrell is making some kind of chicken and mushroom dish.....She's explaining what goes into the dish- "Pancetta, It's a bacon-y thing"..

I have to keep a little notebook to write all the things I laugh about.....

[Scooter's Mom]

First time I've ever seen Giada was today.

It's the first time I've ever WANTED clams or oysters. She made it look so easy!
