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

Sandra Lee and her "cooking" show are only good for one thing -- the "I Loathe Sandra Lee" monthly cooking contest on foodienyc.com.

Her food is offensively ridiculous. It's not just that it's "semi-homemade" it's that it always costs more in both time and money than just making the damn thing from scratch. I have nothing against using canned/jarred ingredients as shortcuts, but they'd damned well better actually save me some time!

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.

I can't wait for Jessica to check in and render an opinion on Sandra Lee. Should be brilliantly, eloquently rantorrific.

eta: Heh. X-posted with Jess's rant, which, lovely as expected.

So, what are people doing for the Last Weekend of Summer?

Bedrest, bedrest, finishing Veronica Mars S1 and possibly starting Deadwood, bedrest. Also, probably consuming large amounts of dairy and carbs in hopes of making the Halloweenie a bit more sluggish than usual. She's been ferociously kicksome and headbutty over the last few days, and now that she's head down it's getting seriously discomfiting.

(Heh. I am nothing if not consistent.)

And hey, Halloweenie, be nice to your mom!

"It didn't taste good. It tasted soooo horrible. It tasted like....a vodka martini." - Matilda

Trolling the internet today...has anyone seen this show "Semi-Homemade with Sandra Lee"? .... The speculation thread is 236 pages long. WTF?

I can see that if what they're speculating about is how to kill her slowly with cake mix and canned icing.

I've enjoyed the Ace of Cakes that I've seen because I've constructed some rather over-the-top cakes myself and I'm interested in how they're putting theirs together. If the show were made just for me, there would be less drama and more cake making.

Shit's all sorts of different now.

I add stuff to Mac n Cheese, but I wouldn't pass it off as a "recipe". It's adding stuff to Mac n Cheese!!

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart

Great. Now I want Mac n Cheese.

Perzactly. That's what I do when I'm being really lazy, but still want comfort food. I'd never call it cooking, though.

Yup. Our current favorites are:

Mac n Cheese with tuna and peas.
Mac n Cheese with browned ground turkey.

Err, hate to tell you, but that's more size-related than diet related. It will get worse.
