Had it with the Food Channel...

[RICHARD]

Has anybody ever tried that squash she had? The green ones. There are so many things I don't know about.



I have to say it again, I love the Chef Jeff Project. Personally, I think he cuts some of the kids too much slack but he doesn't want to make them backslide. Well, some of them are backsliding anyway.

I really love the show.

I can't wait for the Thanksgiving special where we see the Iron Chefs competing.

I am also seriously addicted.

Doggone it!!! I missed the NASCAR thing too. I watched te race but missed that.

The green squash is called Chayote (Chai oh teh). My dad loved them and I haven't had any for a while. Again, you can find them in a regular store out here, but may have problems in different areas of the country.

Flay has this little 'thing' that he does when someone makes a suggestion that is better than his he'll look down and away from the person. I noticed that on the Throwdown programs. On TD, when the gals have a better thought than he does, he does get a little attitude.

I like the CJP but have to cringe when I hear the kids talk. I use the captioning feature on my TV set and when I see that the transcription is verbatim It drives me crazy. I am a stickler for kids being well spoken.
I gots a real problem wit dat.

And speaking of squash?

Last year I didn't pay too much attention to the holiday FN programs last year- I guess they had one where all the hosts show up on set with a dish and they sit down and eat- I guess RR showed up with some pumpkin soup-my mom had watched it and was very irritated that the other chefs came with some elaborate dishes and RR showed up with puree'd squash.

I guess she really does practice frugal food preparation.
