EK has a very horse voice and she talks a lot about the caloric contenet and nutrtional content of food. both of those can be irritating. Esp. if you know these things. ( and forget how she talks about her husband or daughter). But I have tried a couple of her receipes and they are really good. and she uses her knowledge. and she seems to like food. But I can see where she would get annoying . and DH and I are convinced that the music on her show is done by the same people that tdo the music for Barefoot Contessa. Which we can get no info about.

"Fuck Western ideologically-motivated gender identification!" Sulu gasped, and came.
You know, to watch Nigella. She's a babe.
Hell. Yes.
Seriously, Nigella is Right Up There on my list of celebrity crushes. Higher than - well, most of them, actually. So hot. And she can write. And she can cook.
shakes head wistfully
I'm not entirely sure whether I want to be her, or do her. Both, I think.

"Cry havoc and let slip the boobs of war!" -- Miracleman
it is just the implication that he wouldn't have a reason to come home if she didn't cook that bugs me.
I don't get that impression at all. They are actually quite cute together. I watched her "chefography", and Jeffrey was a hottie in college. :) I also love the way she has no straight male friends.

Well, Fay, you know Vodaphone is a communication company.
I just had an amusing discussion with the DH. To summarize:
Me: "I've read some Harry Potter fanfic that was better than Rowling's last few books."
DH: @@. "And isn't it all Harry-on-Draco action anyway?"
Me: (superior) "Fanfic doesn't
have
to be slash."
DH: "I just think it's a waste of time and talent."
Me: "Dude. You write D&D adventures."
DH: "..."
DH: "No fair holding a mirror up."

She said as much once or twice. I do like her friends though.

I love Nigella. We used to get her show on the Style Network, I think, but I don't think we get it up here, if they're even running it. I got her Baking and the Art of Comfort Cooking for Christmas, and there are drool stains all over it now.

By the way, I saw a couple of episodes of Gordon Ramsey's new show. Looks kind of fun, if a bit odd. And I love the way he does his recipes (even if that is a very tiny part of the show.)

Friends don't let friends read "Atlas Shrugged"
I've gotten seriously invested in the Gordon Ramsey show - I think what I like in reality shows is seeing people actually working at their craft and learning their jobs during the show. And there's the entertainment factor of the truly clueless trying to cook under fire. On one show, after screaming at people, he took the winning team out for a meal and was as nice as could be to them. Told one person to call him "Gordon" rather than "Chef".
