Had it with the Food Channel...

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.....

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!

Great idea, Richard. You seem to catch the best errors.

The story about RR is really good. She moves around like a hummingbird and we know she's knocking back 14 cups of strong coffee every day. No wonder she almost fell.
Whatever happened to her Dunkin Donuts ads?

I love Giada! Her food is amazing. I made a few of her dishes for my assistant's birthday and mother's day this year.

Warm Vegetable Salad

Chicken Scallopine with Saffron Cream Sauce
This was good with rice for the sauce as well.

They sound a little involved, but they are REALLY easy!

[RICHARD]

LOL,

Why do I torture myself so?

I tuned into Booby Flake's program this morning as background noise-he had on some Texas gal and they were cooking pork steaks.

The gal starts to make her 'signature' BBQ sauce and BF has to interject his three cents in about it. HE wants it spicy hot so while she is making up the sauce part of her recipe he tosses out some different chili powder for her to put in.

The next thing that made me laugh was the "grilled" potatoe recipe. The woman thinly slices some potatoes and is going to put them on the BBQ. Before she puts them on to cooks she says, "Now I am going to take my grilled potatoes and put them on the grill."

I thought, they aren't grilled -yet, so how can they be grilled potatoes?

My last thing was about the Weber Grill top. Twice during the show Flay took the top off of the domed Weber he uses, and put it on the floor while he checked on the food.

Oh, I flipped the tube back on and saw the Cooking for Real woman make the roasted corn with the mayo slathered all over it.

Now I want corn and have none in the house!

[Scooter's Mom]

Richard I watched that one too.

I have to say - her grilled pears sounded yummy.

Her pork steaks looked much tastier than his cuban style pork sandwich thingies. I don't think I would like pickles grilled with my pork.

I have officially become a food network addict.
