Book ,'Serenity'
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]
The dietician contestant is from my parents' hometown, as well. I didn't love her, though.
I always find it hard to root for people who think that "This will REALLY make you poop!" is a selling point for their food. (Looking at you too, Andrea from Top Chef S1)
That's EXACTLY what I said. I do not care to think about "digestive motility" at any time, thank you, but least when I'm EATING. Ugh.
Anyone else watching NFNS?
I do not allow Bobby Flay on my TV. A friend said that i should try out (I actually would make a good cooking show host, I think), but I would not be able to hide my disdain for Flay.
Even from a nutritional standpoint, there's so much else she could have said. Here, I'll do it for you:
"It's a very colorful salad, a variety of nutrients is important for health, one of the shortcuts to making sure you're getting that variety is vegetables from different color families, so if your salad looks like an artist's palatte, you're on the right track."
Boom. 10 seconds, some new information imparted, easy to remember and understand, establishes her authority/relvance of her background as a dietician, and a little bit fun. Perfect Food Network fodder. This is Not That Hard.
Vortez,
I do not like Bobby Flay, but I can tolerate him in this. I am a Flay hater.
Is anyone else watching Expedition Africa on the History Channel? I only found out about it this morning because my department has footage in the promos (one of the explorers has done a lot of work for Auntie Beeb and recommended us) and it is AWESOME. Like Survivor but with Actual History! The explorers are all so delightfully geeky about what they're doing (retracing Stanley's steps to find Livingstone), it's a pleasure to watch.
It's 2 eps in and I've only seen the first 15 minutes, but I'm totally hooked.
I'm watching it!
I'm really enjoying it too.
BTW, tivo has been picking up a true crime show from Animal Planet in which crimes that have been solved via involvement of animals are featured. So far this means animal hair is found leading to the identification of the culprit.
Murder in the Rue Morgue?
No, but Ha!
