If you though the magazine was funny, try watching an episode of
"Semi-homemade Food" on the Food Network. One of the worst shows ever!
There is absolutely NOTHING homemade on the show so even the title is BS.
Everything is assembled from cans, jars, bottles, and boxes of prepared food
items and mixes. Oh, and to make it really special, elegant, distinctive,
gourmet, etc., you add some toothpicks, ribbon, paper umbrellas, plastic
doilies, sparklers, or the like. In each episode you are assured that your
family or guests won't guess that you made the tart tatin from flour
tortillas, canned apple pie filling, and caramel ice cream topping because
cream cheese and marshmallow fluff that you combine and pipe from a zip-lock
bag will convince them that the creation was made by a fine pastry chef and
shipped via Air France from Paris.
