Q&A

Here's some questions or comments that I want to reply to:

I'm kinda curious who are the chefs that you are refering to that are "slowly getting kicked off the network"? I guess I'm just not as intuitive as you are. haha.

Umm... I feel bad that Dave has gotten moved to 7:30 a.m., for one. Check out my "Is Dave Dunzo with FN" post for more on that one. I'm still hoping for a miracle.

Does anyone else think that Rachaels new look is a little much for day time television? Don't get me wrong, I think she looks better now than she used to...but, between the eye makeup, dark hair and the outfits she wears (Im talking about her new talk show, btw) kinda make her look like she is ready to go out to the club...ok, I was trying to be as nice as possible...what I really meant to say was she kinda looks like a hooker....

...did I mention I heart rachael? haha ;-)

Hmmm... I do think she looks more done up, but I wouldn't go as far to say she's looking like a hooker. Look at Oprah these days. She has dark eye makeup, big eyelashes, diamonds, etc.

Also, anything is better than those days of the jeans and tucked-in, too-tight t-shirts from seasons 1-4 of 30MM.

Can't wait to see Ina's new kitchen, but I like her old one...I hope she oversees the design...you know it will JUST be South Hampton classic! I'm sure she'll invite the gays over for a big dinner party to celebrate once it is up and running!

I hope so. How can I get invited?!?!

I always wondered if Sandra Lee's set was a set or a real house. Sometimes it looks very "fake" out the window. BUT - I saw a Thanksgiving special last year where she actually saw wild turkey's running around outside that window as she was cooking a turkey. It was a very "meta" moment. Was that a video? B/c it certainly looked like wild turkey's running on lush green hills - not Brooklyn! :-)

I actually don't remember this episode. That's hilarious, though. I do remember one of her "in the backyard" which was obviously a different location.

BTW - *LOVE* the picture where Rachel says "this kitchen isn't orange enough!" Perfect! :-)

Thanks!

*Does anyone know which Robin Miller kitchen came first and which came second? Its bugging me! :P

The one with the window and cars driving by is new. The old, warmer one where Robin had the more "I'm a mom!" look wasn't really doing it for me, though. Not to say I love this new one, either. Sigh.

Jesse:

Old Robin Miller = oval window, more severe make-up, cheesy theme song (Everybody sing! "Out the door / Beat the clock...It's crazy / But I love it / I love this crazy liiiiiiife!"

New Robin Miller = larger window with filmed car chase sequences, overall much larger workspace, very straight hair, melodic opening sequence with a font that resembles that Line Rider game.

Hahaha.... i HATE that song. And great reference with Line Rider. Thanks!

Oh yeah, and buy an exhaust hood for the range you don't use. Ovens don't need an exhaust hood!

Caught yah, Rach!

Paula Deen's original kitchen was actually not even in her own house - it belonged to Gordon Elliott her producer.

Really? Why'd he have a home in Savannah?

Mark said...

I watched that "Rachael Ray's open house"...well twice. It was painful. The "guests" were just so uncomfortable in front of the camera.

One more thing I don't like about the new 30-minute meal: She talks for like 2 minutes when the fridge is open! That's not right.

Didn't that mom ever teach her anything!

I don't know which is funnier, your posts or the comments you get.

I know! That's why they're getting their own post today.

Last night i dreamed that Rachel and i were riding on the back of a giant polar bear named Smoochly. We were looking for a colony of gnomes who had taken all the strawberries then we were on an ice shelf and Smoochly and Rach disappeared and a giant shark was trying to attack me, but If I siad the word "muffin" out loud just before he bit me i could levitate away from its jaws. Then I was in an old house and found some coins in the wall and then i woke up.

My dream, too! Only the polar bear was named Smoochily.

If Robin Miller ate a donut she look like she swallowed an innertube.

Seroiusly, she looks as if she's anorexic. Mebbe she only eats the few bites she cooks on her show.

EAT, ROBIN, EAT!

Nice mental image.

I love her kithen on her talk show set. The pantry doors with the chalkboard on the fron is too fabu. The whole kitchen is fabu.

Didja see how she's pimping garbage bowls now? Something in my brain says WTF? and another part of my brain says I gotta get me one of those. Crazy!

I like the talkshow set, too. I haven't seen the GB sale yet, though. Not surprised in the slightest!

********************************************

Okay, that was fun. I appreciate all the comments like always and wanted to make special note of them today. Like Sue said, a lot of the times they're funnier than my posts!

Ingrid Hoffman was one this morning when I woke up. I still haven't gotten around to getting some screen caps from her show so I can post about it. So far, I think the show is okay. She's a little too cheery for me (I think Ina would lose her mind in the kitchen with her), but she seems to know her stuff*.

Have a great Sunday!

*- This implies that I don't know all that much about traditional Latin cuisine. Just like Giada is to Italian food, I don't expect Ingrid to comply with every rigid rule there is to cooking "latina style."
