I did, too! She did really well, I thought, very comfortable and personable. And that potato tart (wait, did she call it a torte?) looked AWESOME.
Wash: Little River just gets more colorful by the moment. What'll she do next? Zoe: Either blow us all up or rub soup in our hair. It's a toss-up. Wash: I hope she does the soup thing. It's always a hoot, and we don't all die from it.

Yeah, totally. And the way she did the bacon makes so much sense.
(Also I made a pie today - which was already planned - but I totally used her trick of freezing the butter.)

I missed the beginning, so I didn't see that or how she made the applesauce granita, which sounds really easy and yummy.
I feel like they could have given her a hook closer to what she wanted to do originally than "Ten Dollar Dinners," but hell, I don't mind hearing about cheap recipes, so.

She mixed 2 cups of unsweetened applesauce with a couple of tablespoons of lemon juice and threw it in the freezer.

I have a feeling both her original concept (easy for busy moms) and the one Alton gave her (sort of a kitchen 411) can and will be wrapped into this one pretty easily.
It was definitely a more watchable show than the Sandra Lee budget cooking one that immediately preceded it. (I watched a lot of Food Network this morning.)

I think 50's-era highway safety films are more watchable than anything Sandra Lee has ever done.

When I see Sandra Lee on the screen, I shudder and change the channel immediately.

yeah. unfortunately, I think that they're kind of misleading with the concept. she said that the pie cost 4 something, but you have to buy the entire pound of bacon to use 4 slices, or the entire package of thyme to infuse a few sprigs in the cream.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Cooking at home is cheap, but only if you do enough of it to use the spices and stuff up.

I meant to ask about SYTYCD - didn't they give a prize last year to second place? Was that just a one time thing for Katie?
