My bet is that the Food Network doesn't actually pay her.

I got a decent quick 'n' dirty tiramisu from the show a couple of
years ago. It must have been a fluke, because since then there's been
nothing worth remembering. Except that stupid homemade checkerboard
made out of ribbon, which was one of the lamest things I've seen on
television.

Yes! She always has a house (set) that is decorated with hundreds of
dollars of flowers and other items. Someone who can spend that much on
decorating doesn't need to rely on "semi-homemade" items, they can just
get a caterer. I wonder if the show caters to people who don't ever
cook at all.

That is really kind of gross. I think I've lost my appetite.

The Food Network is increasingly targeting people who do not actually
cook. So it isn't about talent. Have you ever seen the 'Secret L:ife Of'
shows? They'll do a whole episode about America's love affair with
Twizzlers.

Actually, that explains quite a bit --

With all the processed stuff she's using, even if one of her recipes
happened to catch my interest, I'd have to go back to plain ol' total
home-made, as there's no way I could actually afford to BUY all the crap
she's so excited about. She's increased the cost of every one of her
"fabulous" parties (that all her girlfriends love) to the point where
only someone who COULD afford a caterer could actually do what she's
selling.

So -- this only makes her even more irrelevant.

As soon as I hear that show come on, I change the channel. Heck I even
get UP to do it if I can't immediately find the remote!!!

One of my favorite things to notice is how her outfit matches her
decor. Unfortunately, she's not alone in this. I can't begin to tell
you how many Americans match their outfit to the occasion.

I think that every time I watch Giada De Laurentiis... I've learned
not to be turned off by her looks but it's taken a while.

You've nailed it, sweetie. It's NOT a show designed to appeal to
people who "really" cook... it's designed for people who want to LOOK
like they cook (and whose friends can't tell the difference). It's
not a bad thing, but not our way of approaching cooking.

Scary part is, I know people like this. They make all of the food for
their parties (and are quite proud of doing so) and all of it is BAD.
Really bad. Nacho-cheese-dip-made-with-Campbell's-cheese-soup-bad.
The real problem is that I have to attend said parties because of
business obligations...

I have to admit, I'm hooked and look forward to SL's show on the
weekends. I'm sure she's getting good ratings, but very few are
watching for her cooking, which Food Network needs to know. I find
the show hilarious, and being sandwiched between Paula Dean and Rachel
Ray doesn't hurt her ratings, either.

I've never seen the show, but it sounds so bad that I keep wondering
whether somebody is making this all up to pull our legs.

However, I have had frpzen margaritas made with beer (not *tons* of
beer....frozen limeade concentrate, a little beer, some tequila and
triple sec) and they're pretty tasty -- the small amount of beer doesn't
add much, IMO, but overall, the recipe works. It would probably work
w/o the beer, too. I don' t know if it's the same recipe that Sandra
Lee uses (the name "beergarita" is just stupid!), but don't turn your
nose up at the concept.

Giada has a personal cook ? That's preposterous : she obviously doesn't
eat anything. I think that one bite of things she takes on the show is
her daily diet. That assumes, of course, that she doesn't, ahem,
dispose of that as well.

You attend personal parties due to business obligations? Yeow, that's
just plain SCARY! I hope you're a minister, otherwise - I don't know
who is in the worst situation. They don't have enough friends, so
they invite people who are working for them in some capacity or you,
who thinks your choice is to attend their lousy party or lose their
business.

It's not as bad as they are making it seem. It takes a lot of
imagination to think up some of the things she does. It would be a
lot easier for me to just crack open a cookbook.

Not exactly. My husband is sort of a big wig in a smallish company.
We are fairly new to the area so when invited we think it's socially
appropriate to attend said functions so as not to appear as an
"outsider", "above it all" or unfriendly. It's more social obligation
- it's politically correct in the business sense.

But as of this summer we have been here long enough that we have
started to turn down invites. Especially to the homes where we know
the food is bad.

Hi Chris,

I too, have had the margaritas you're talking about. That *are* good. My
Mom makes those. She uses:
12 oz Corona ; 6 oz container frozen Limade, ?? oz Tequila, and 12 oz 7-UP.

It's a great concept that is poorly implemented. I think most
"average" housewives and househusbands (those who don't really cook -
in the sense that most of us do) probably have better recipes than she
uses on the show.

Why are you continuing to read a thread that you are not interested in, to
the degree it makes you angry? Its almost like hitting your own thumb with
the hammer, shouting 'ouch!!!' then doing it over again, repeatedly. Sorry,

While I agree with you, I have often watched the show for "fun" and I
did get one tip, believe it or not. I always loved thumbprint cookies
from a local grocery store here, and on SL show, she made something with
canned frosting, but added powdered sugar & vanilla to the frosting
which made it "thick" (I forget what the recipe was) but I tried it & it
worked perfect for the real homemade thumbprint cookes that I made.
Tasted just about the same as from the store. I woulda never thought of it.

Are canned products that much better? :-)

I wonder if that's why she's now on weekedays at 5:30 (shameless plug).

Unfortunately, it's just beer and undiluted frozen limeade:

Her tits are spectacular. Maybe they're also semi-homemade, but
spectacular.

You must just be too used to looking at all the fake ones in porno.
The kind that defy gravity by sticking straight up even when they are
lying on their backs are not realistic.
Real ones of any size hang.
Besides, they really don't hang very much.
They may be fake but if they are they did a fantastic job of making them
appear real.
