O.K., I admit it...I don't like Rachel Ray or either of her shows. Just a
matter of personal opinion. But I know some folks here like her and I
thought this might interest you.

Rachel is a local girl - she used to do cooking segments on WRGB, a local
CBS affiliate. So this weekend she did a book signing at the Price Chopper
supermarket in the Latham/Loudonville area (it's a suburb of Albany). I
think it was scheduled for Saturday, but had to be moved to Sunday due to
the big snowstorm we just had.

I didn't go myself, but I heard it was a very, very good turnout to see
her...especially considering the weather. Most people were still digging
out from the snowstorm. Here's a link to a tiny news story about the event:

My 13 year old daughter watches and records all of her shows. I don't
know why the infatuation, but she sure seems to identify with her style
of cooking and childish nuances.

It's the giggle for some. Me, I bet she'd probably look cool in a PVC cat
suit. Mrooooooooooowwwww!

She looked pretty good in the pictures from some magazine somebody
posted a link to a few months ago. BUT!!! An airbrush is a
wonderful thing. I find it hard to believe the skin on her stomach
and legs are that smooth at her age. Personally I think she'd look
best in some bondage photos with that annoying yap-hole plugged.

Sherman seems to like larger melons than Rachel Ray sports. Somehow I
think Tony Bourdain might fit the bill better.

Can't be because it's 50% Emeril and 30% Iron Chef which only leaves 20% for
everyone else.

I've never seen it mentioned, but the Discovery Channel has a pretty
good cooking lineup on Tuesdays with Cookin' in Brooklyn, License to
Grill, and Kylie Kwong for a change from Food TV.

She does have a way of getting on one's nerves. I rarely watch FoodTV
anymore. Its a pity because I used to enjoy it so very much.

So? If you don't like Rachel Ray that means you have 70% of other food
network shows to watch or change the channel to one of the other 70+
channels to watch. Then there is DVD or video tape as well.

It's not your imagination -- it's FoodNetwork's lack of it *laugh*

They are going to to burn her (and us) out on Rachel Ray Shows. Interestingly
of her 3 shows only 1 is actually a cooking show (although it's aired at least
3x a day). They sort of did this same burn-out thing to Sara for a while
there-- she was sporting a few shows and several hours a day of network
time. I think they'd have plastered Emeril to several shows if he had been
versatile enough (well there was that attempt at a sit-com for him *rolls
eyes*). I like RR and I think she is a very talented lady- FN seems to agree.
I guess their philosophy is get it *all* while it's hot.

Burn out is imminent, though. I already have luke-warm feelings about Inside
Dish and 40 dollars a day. They both seem like filler-fluff shows to me- one
is basically an advertisement for the tourist industry ( like who couldn't get
by on 40$ a day for one person? Seriously-- *laughs* how about 40 bucks for 2
people? Then we'd be talking some real smackaletti) and ID is just another
*talk show* venue for actors although it does have its own little twist (sorta
amazing how many actors have their own restaurants-- I'd kinda like ta see
Clint Eastwoods alleged (chuckles) *handicap-access* at Mission Ranch for
myself-- can we do that FN?)

My wife watches her.
I can't stand it...Rachel NEVER shuts up. She has to have sound
coming out of her mouth every second.
