Another Wine Blog: Why do I hate Sandra Lee so much?

    You just put The Black Keys and a completely correct culinary critique in the same blog entry...thank you for restoring by belief in awesomeness.

    Thanks, Jim. Restoring awesomeness is my mission in life. ;)

    Btw, your final phrase had me and my teenage son rolling on the floor. Nicely done!

    My objection towards these type of cooking show and recipes is not so much the distressing influence of American pop culture, but the promotion of such highly processed food in our diet. Delicious food can be made with fresh simple ingredients.

    I would take it a step further; delicious food SHOULD be made with fresh simple ingredients.

    Groovy post!!!

    I am so over Sandra Lee...and many of the shows you referred to. I am a FN addict and normally watch the channel up until those annoying Neely's come on...

    I remember they had shows like The Melting Pot which taught food from other cultures, and several other shows actually hosted by restaurant chefs. What they have now is nothing more than a bunch of hacks just throwing crap in a pot and it is very predictable, nothing original. I actually do like watching Giada though she is still somewhat creative.

    Anyhooo....there is a new show Secrets of a Restaurant Chef, it's pretty good...

    I like the Anne Burell show too. She knows her stuff.

    Spot on.
    I couldn't have said it better myself.
    (And I'm a little envious that I didn't).
    Keep on, keeping on!

    Cheers!

    Right on! It is time for everyone to take a few minutes and understand the who, what, where etc of what they are eating and drinking.

    I think getting to know the people behind the products we choose to buy is worth the effort.
  • Houstonwino · 9 months ago
    Very good advice. It doesn't take all that much effort to do what you suggest.

    Ummm... just to make you feel better... Sandra is a bitch in person, too. Don't feel bad about talking bad about her. Maybe one day she will get over herself, her hideous ideas, and sad excuse for her inability to cook and do something genuine with her life. For now, we let the anorexia and preservatives do their work.

    LOL! Nicely put. I should have had you co-author that with me.

    Prozac (fluoxetine) for Panic Disorder: It's a miracle drug. I took this for anxiety and panic attacks and slight depression. It has changed my life. I am happier. I have made more friends in the past month. It has helped with everything; school, stress, anxiety and self confidence. I cant recommend it enough.
