"Faded like the lilac, he thought."
I totally can't watch the Idol auditions for that reason. In fact, it pretty much turns me off the entire franchise.
Dude! I just bought Top Chef's Kevin's polenta with meatballs off the Schwan's truck! I love Schwans. They also have something from Ilia, LeAnne, Trey & CJ, and...someone else I misremember. We shall have to see how it turns out.

Oh, do report back. I was thinking of ordering that. Kevin's was the only one that really appealed to me, though I don't remember the details.

Will do. I am quite excited about it. Well, as excited as one gets about frozen food products. But still! Kevin!
That article about HGTV/Food Network was fascinating. I had no idea how the subscription revenues broke down. I really wish there were part and parcel packages available. I would pay 50 cents a month for Food Network, but definitely not for a bunch of the other channels I receive.
In fact, I could probably have Discovery, Bravo, Food Network, BBC, SyFy, TNT, & CN, plus locals, and never notice the difference. Okay, and CSpan. And ESPN. And Comedy. Okay, I probably need the damn package.

Why You Can't Watch Food Network or HGTV on Cablevision
The article tries to be fair to both sides, but I know from co-workers downstairs at the channel (which is not currently on Cablevision) and my own as a customer that Cablevision is run by cheap assholes. I don't blame Scripps one bit in this fight.

I don't think that WTTW (local PBS station) even showed it but there it was.

Looks like a fun season.
It does, although I pray to God that Rupert goes home early.

Oh you guys, we just got back from Vegas and while we were wandering the Venetian I made the gang stop at Bouchon Bakery for cookies. Hands down the best macaroons I’ve had a long, long time. Also? We saw Hubert Keller walking towards Burger Bar so it was a Top Chef Vegas trip!

Worst Chef in America: They're doing shellfish again? And I still think I would like this show better if they focused on home-style cooking rather than restaurant-style.
