Who have you had enough of ??

[Boo Boo Kitty 3]

Now, girls you've just insulted my favorite girls. I love the food network. Love Rachel Ray and Paula Dean and yes, even the very preppy Barefoot Contessa.

lol...how can you love Paula?? lol...sorry!

[IndioGirl55 32]

I LOVE PAULA DEAN !!!!! She is so funny - and I think we are related cuz I LOVE BUTTER & FRIED FOODS - Not eating them much anymore - but still love them - it's what I miss the most...

See?? I did too, but I gave up that addiction and kicked Paula to the curb with it! bye bye!

I'm sorry, but I love Paula. She is so crazy, how can you not love her. :clap2:

I love Rachael Ray (I watch the Rachael Ray show just about everyday) and I like Paula Deen okay, even though I can't eat her food. She made a brownie recipe that had 4 STICKS of butter in it.

I don't care too much for Barefoot Contessa, her food is too sophisticated for me. I like to keep food simple.

I like the Semi-Homemade show. Most of her recipes are pretty simple.

Paula makes me want to kill myself, or shove her pound of butter where the sun doesn't shine!

This comment reminds me of a great scene in the movie, Last Tango in Paris. LOL

As for butter, I came from a family of butter freaks and I never did hop aboard the margarine bandwagon. This was because butter tastes better and margerine tastes Ugh! I chose to cut back on my consumption of butter instead. I felt real happy when it was finally revealed that margarine was loaded with trans fats and really wasn't the healthy alternative. It certainly isn't any less fattening than butter, is it? After all, fat is fat. :phanvan

I have to say I love most of the food Network personalities. Paula makes me miss my mom! She was very funny, too. The only thing that bugs me about Rachael is that she's too loud sometimes--I worry she's going to cough up her vocal cords because it sounds like she is forcing her voice.

Ooh, I like the food Network folks, too.

Paula Deen doesn't bother me much. I'd love to be fixing up some soul food in the kitchen with her and gossiping like two hens or something.

I love Giada De Laurentiis, though. She's my favorite. I can follow her recipes much easier than others. (And I love Italian food.) Plus, her kitchen is my ultimate dream.. and she looks like Liesl from "The Sound of Music," and that's my favorite movie. Plus, Giada made those amazing croissant panini and they looked so good that a friend and I made them for a get-together with others and they were a hit. So good.

And I've got a crush on Bobby Flay. Seriously.

But as for who I've had enough of? In general, I'm burnt out on Katherine Heigl and Keira Knightley. Whenever Heigl opens her mouth, she either sounds like she's whining or like a pretentious hag. As for Knightley, I just don't get the appeal. (Admittedly, I am going to see Atonement this weekend on a date, so..)

They did a study, I was told, where they put margarine out in nature to see what animals would be drawn to it and guess what? No animals touched it. That's because it isn't really food. It's a manufactured glob of oil and crap. I've about decided that keeping it natural is the best for me and that includes sugar. If I need sugar or butter in a recipe, I use it. That way I know exactly what I'm eating - I am not fooling myself.

My dentist told me that if you use artificial sweetners long enough, they will rot your teeth too, just like sugar.

I for one cannot stand that blond bombshell on Semi-homemade Sandra Lee or whatever her name is. She drives me bats! Known too many phony baloney women like her. It's obvious that she doesn't eat what she makes... except for the cocktails. Pftttt! Mew! How catty of me.

Four sticks of butter in brownies is criminal, unless it's a recipe for a hundred troops of big, gorgeous, strapping, muscle-bound military men. Oooh. What a visual. Bring on the whipped cream.

And Green, your comment was not lost on me. I saw that movie again not too long ago and I was shocked at that graphic scene. I'd forgotten. The movie and the book pretty much rocked my world when it came out. But in a good way. And no, to answer the obvious qestion, I'm not into that. :paranoid

[BJean 16]

P.S. Giada is amazing. Her recipes sorta go against my natural instincts, what with all the squeezed lemon juice atop. But what a bod! And who doesn't like good Italian food? Except of course now - the combination of Pasta and the band - not so much!

[Oregondaisy 2,021]

I have had way too much of Martha Stewart. I forgot whether or not I posted that on this thread.

I wish she would go away forever. That would be a good thing.

None of those cooking broads bother me. I don't watch the food network much, but I used to turn on Lidia's Italian Kitchen for my mom to watch. My mother was the best Italian cook and when she got dementia, she could no longer cook but still thought she could. I was a vicarious adventure for my mom.

Lidia is much more authentic and not as grating as the others.

This is as petty as it sounds but you know, I've watched Lidia before and each time I see her I just want to reach out and buy the woman a wig.

Don't get me wrong, she has some interesting things she cooks but I can't see anything but her hair. Or lack of it.

I'm with you on the Sandra Lee thing. I'm not buyin' it. Plus, the fact that her kitchen changes colors every episode is fine - but that she has a matching KitchenAid Artisan mixer for every kitchen color scheme irks me. I've wanted a pistachio one for about 2 years now and every time I get the money together to buy one, something happens and that spending money turns into emergency money. I have mixer envy.

As for the brownies for the troops, I would gladly whip up a couple hundred batches of them.. especially for some Marines in digital cammies. I'm a Marine Brat, so I'm partial to Jarheads.

And whipped cream? That made me giggle.
