Foodie NYC used to have a monthly feature called "I loathe Sandra Lee" where he would post one of her recipes and ask his readers to come up with a version using real food.
Darn your sinister attraction!

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.
The Toronto Star sent out a memo announcing that it was outsourcing some of its unionized editing jobs, and then the memo was marked up by a disgruntled editor: [link]

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb
I stayed home sick today. It is a halfday for mac. I thought dismissal was noon, and was going to the grocery, but it seems it is now.

“Not dead yet!”
and her cutesy names drive me nuts.
Even the fucking DOG FOOD. Nutrish? I mean, SERIOUSLY?
I still like Nigella. Even though she eyefucks the food a little much and is big with the Nora Roberts metaphors, she looks and more or less sounds like a real person.
Paula Deen is just too exuberant and also scares me.
The Neelys are fun.

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine
I still don't trust a skinny cook.
My brother doesn't qualify as "skinny" in my book, though he's still too lean, in my opinion, for someone who cooks with butter and eats bacon with every meal. Unfair!

Foodie NYC used to have a monthly feature called "I loathe Sandra Lee" where he would post one of her recipes and ask his readers to come up with a version using real food.
Sometimes I think that her recipes are MORE work (and definitely more mess and ingredients) than just making it from scratch. Her show was for people who were afraid of cooking.

I may have to seize the cat.
Now I want to make muffin-sized quiches as well. Kiba, did you do crust? (Since I did Atkins, I usually just make crustless quiche now anyway.)
No crust. Baby spinach on the bottom, then a bit of onion, then some cheese, then egg mixture (I used store brand of egg beaters, because the fat from yolks tears up my stomach). Haven't tried them yet. Husband's going to have one for lunch and then we'll know if they're good. (I will also have one.)

I love Nigella. She really enjoys food and isn't afraid or apologetic about how she makes it.
Paula Deen is just too exuberant and also scares me.
I like her. She would be fun to hang out with. Her food is sometimes scary, but she's cool.
The Neelys are fun.
HATE the Neelys. Their "we're so in love" schtick really drives me bananas. And they have their little cutesy things that are sick making, like "the spice fairy". I wanted to support the black cooking show, but I hate them.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
No crust. Baby spinach on the bottom, then a bit of onion, then some cheese, then egg mixture
Awesome. I will totally make these! I'm going to end up with a freezer full of muffin-size meals.

Not just more work, but more money and more WASTE.
She has multiple recipes that instruct you to buy a premade pie, scoop out the filling, and throw away the crust. She has at least one recipe that calls for the powdered cheese packet inside a box of Kraft Mac & Cheese as an ingredient!
If that's not proof of being evil incarnate, I'm not sure what is.
