'War Stories'
This thread is for non-fiction TV, including but not limited to reality television (So You Think You Can Dance, Top Chef: Masters, Project Runway), documentaries (The History Channel, The Discovery Channel), and sundry (Expedition Africa, Mythbusters), et al. [NAFDA]
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.
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.
UNTIL she whipped out the pie filling, oh my god.
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.
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.
Frankly, I think that half of her recipes are more work/time/expense than just doing it the old fashioned way.
I think you're being extremely generous.
She needs to have her show pulled if it hasn't been already.
Only if she starts making outrageous salary demands. Sadly. We can pray though.
