Default Semi-Homemade with Sandra Lee: A Semi-Homemade Halloween with Sandra Lee

After catching the end of last year's Halloween special with Emeril and the
real FN cooks, I know why SLop got a special of her own. Apparently since
Tyler Florence was sick the day they made this last year, he got roped into
doing this one with her.

SLop crashes a party in NYC for ideas which she no doubt will screw up.
Whoah, lady! Don't get so excited about that drink made with five types of
vodka and nothing to dilute it (THIS is her inspiration for that green
ghoulaid?).

SLop found Tyler trying to hide from her in the attic of the house. He seems
less than thrilled about being there and it shows by the way he rattles off
her lame menu.

Tyler does most of the cooking, as it were, and SLop flirts clumsily with him
from the sidelines, just like Jack on his show. Isn't it odd that despite them
adding all that food coloring to the NotFiveVodka drinks how pale a green it
still was?

When making the caviar pizzas, Tyler said to combine the liquids and then add
the dry ingrediants. Huh? Anyhow, that dough was barely dampened by the fluid,
resulting in dough with the consistancy of damp sand. How the hell is this
going to form a pizza crust? As Tyler struggles with the floury mess, we see
Sandra putting her hand on his arm followed by a quick cut away. Bad touch!
Hands to yourself, Sandie!

We return from commercial to see SLop has inexplicitly changed her clothing.
Did something happen during the commercial break? "Hi! I'm the sugar plum
fairy!", she says. Really? I thought you were going for "drunk barmaid". She
makes some boring dark chocolate lollipops and we head out to commercial.

We return from commercial to see Sandie in a pumpkin patch dressed up like one
of the gals from Hee-Haw. Yikes! The farmer's drunk daughter winked at me!
She blathers about making pumpkins and consults her "pal", the guy who makes
profesional pumpkins for some hints on how to carve a pumpkin, as if he can
show us how to carve pumpkins like his. He first says you have to get a good
pumpkin and a magic marker to draw guidelines for when you carve it. SLop asks
where to get one and we get this sudden cut to SLop staring in vapid rapture
as the man explains where one can buy a magic marker. BWAH!!!! They eventually
get around to cutting the pumkin open and Sandra "whoots!" as she apparently
finds sticking her hands into the innards of a pumpkin arousing. As the
pumpkin expert scrapes out the inside, she incredulously remarks "Look at how
clean that makes the inside of these pumpkins!" -- has this woman never seen a
pumpkin carved before? SLop feels that it's necessary to explain to us that
some of the designs are only being carved onto the surface of the pumpkin.
Thanks for the news flash.

We then go back inside to make caramalized pumpkin seeds. The glamour shot
features said seeds in what appears to be a discarded KFC bucket decorated
with the likeness of the ghost from Dark Shadows that Angelique summoned as
part of a curse against Sebastion. She dumps the seeds onto a baking sheet
lined with aluminum foil and spreads it around with a spoon. So this is some
sort of pumpkin seed brittle? Did she roast those seeds or are they raw? She
then dumps them into the embellished KFC bucket, presumably, one would hope,
after they'd hardeded, otherwise you're going to end up with a lump shaped
like a KFC bucket.

We return from commercial to see SLop gushing over some bats she cut from
black construction paper. I am betting she'll be frying sopmething because
she's wearing a dress similar to Snow White's wicked stepmother, complete with
big-ass frilly sleeves. Damn, I think someone went a little overboard with the
paper bats! For one of her concoctions, she uses "eXpresso beans" WTF?

SLop somehow recruited a famous chocolatier to make what Sandie thinks is a
"candy apple". "Gasp! That looks like one of those $25 apples you can buy at a
store!" Sandie then makes her own, conspicuously holding back the sleeve of
her costume. BWAH! While Drew slaves over the table making candy apples, SLop
goes inside and changes into a princess tramp costume. She shows us the
children's table but I can't help but laugh at what could be construed as a
comment from the table on the side ("Boo!"). Inspired by a chandlier with a
bunch of Michael Meyers masks on it she saw at that party she crashed
(remember that?), Sandie uses butterfly masks as napkin holders. SLop
gleefully shows us bottles of "Vampire wine" that you can buy online (where?)
or glue some labels you made at Kinkos and glued to your wine bottles. SLop
tells us for the zillionth time about how she greets her guests with a
cocktail at the door. Once again, she claims her guests are about to arrive
and disappears in a puff of smoke before they appear. In the bottom left
corner, the words "Exec producer: Gordon Eliiot" appear. BWAH!

where she grew up either. The Cordon Bleu disavows any knowlege of Miss Lee.
