This is when I tuned in. What the hell was that thing she put the
cake on? It looked like some old rusted out foot stool she found in
her garage.

I wish we could have seen her drag her dining room table and living
room chairs across the lawn. That would have been a show in itself.
All to surprise her husband? Hmmmm, how many men did you have over to
help move the furniture, Sandra? (I guess a couple of girlfriends
could have done it, too, but my guess is Sandra would employ men to do
that kind of job).

I just don't understand those outfits with the giant sleeves. Or why
she feels the need to cook in her "party clothes" at all. With all
the coming and going she does before and after commercials, a change
of clothes, before showing off the tablescape, would at least be a
more realistic aspect of the show.

Yes! It would be like THE LORETTA YOUNG show, where she does the half hour
in civvies, and at the end comes down the stairs in a fabulous ball gown!

IIRC, when they tried to syndicate reruns of the series, Ms Young sued to
stop it on the grounds that the now out of fashion gowns made her look
silly.

Sigh.

Alas, practically everything Ms Lee wears makes her look silly.

Most of the men I know watch SL for her boobs,I didn't think anyone
actually paid attention to what she did on the show.To paraphrase(?)
Noel Coward ,my opinion of her show is that its a display of the
uneatable by the unspeakable.If I wanted to watch a woman waving her
boobs over food I would prefer to watch Julia Childs.
I stand corrected,obviously people do pay detailed attention.I thought
her show was basically open can,place on platter,pretend you made it
from scratch,but then I am not really a fan of the show.I will watch it
from now on because it seems to be so hilarious.

You misunderstood -- we watch her because she IS a boob.

When it comes to breasts, I prefer quality to quantity.

And there goes the appetite!

Indeed, and with our friends commentary, it is that much more so.

Oh, she wears those for special occassions, such as when she's frying
something.

She wears them to convince people how skilled she is as handling her
materials.
