Next week's going to be a whole lot of Top Chef, I tell you what. Season premiere of the Vegas show followed by the Masters finale, if I'm reading my TV schedules right.
Right, what's a little sweater sniffing between sworn enemies?

I'm still behind on TV from vacation so I just watched the last two weeks of TCM last night and didn't quite have the stamina for a third.
The restricted diet challenge was interesting to see what they came up with.
I wonder - would coconut milk whip up like whipped cream if you added some sort of stabilizer (xanthan gum or cream of tartar)? I think a strawberry granita with the brittle and some whipped coconut topping would have been a much better dessert than the rice milk ice cream thing.

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l
Coconut cream will make whipped cream without any stabilizer needed.

To make matters worse--and more.....uncomfortable, she's standing next to her boyfriend, Andrew Cuomo, the Attorney General of the State of New York.
I did not know this!

Okay, so I went to Franken's link and I didn't realize that I had mistaken all the years of people capping on Sandra Lee. I thought all this time people were capping on Paula Deen. Suddenly I figured out my mistake when I realized that Andrew Cuomo was not dating Paula Deen!
So I went to youtube and searched for the Kwanzaa Cake and I lost my mind. I have never seen anything that horrific on the Food Network before. WTF was that atrocity? I thought everything was going to be okay UNTIL she whipped out the pie filling, oh my god. Oh, the humanity.

Sandra Lee is ALL about the repurposed pie filling.
I die a little inside whenever I remember she's a CIA graduate.

LeN, now you understand. I can understand why people would have issues with Paula (personally, I love her) but she does actually cook. Sandra Lee is a ghoul and a drunk (she was the first person who started having a specialty cocktail for every show) Frankly, I think that half of her recipes are more work/time/expense than just doing it the old fashioned way.

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."
Yeah, see I love Paula. She's over the top and I wouldn't make 90% of her recipes, but she's cool people to me. I just figured people were cranks.
Sandra Lee on the other hand is malicious. She needs to have her show pulled if it hasn't been already.

I think you're being extremely generous.
