I like Cameron, though I agree that the criticisms are valid. I think I relate to her anyway. Deadwood on bedrest? How macha, JZ. A better choice than laudanum at any rate. Don't know much about cooking or food TV. This weekend, I'm trading a bunch of books to the used place, and maybe we'll have lunch and then I'll watch "Freedomland" on video.
Natter 46: The FIGHTIN' 46
Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
Sandra Lee is the BadFic writer of cooking shows. The other day she was making a veggie dip the "recipe" called for 1 jar of nacho cheez, 1 cup of sour cream, 1 container of sour cream with chives (or maybe cream chese with chives) and a 1 Ranch seasoning packet (or whatever you have on hand).
She put out pre cut carrots and celery and plopped a few in the dip so "my guests will know what to do with them."
Maybe her guests are used to celery stalks as garnishes for all those cocktails she makes?
She has idiots and zombies for guests?
I think she's afraid her guests will think the best thing to do would be to shove her food up her ass....

Of course, if they used the celery and carrot sticks for that they'd be wasting the only real food that was there.
This weekend: Clean my house, for realz. Go see SoaP. List stuff on eBay. And, of course, go to a party in the rain where I have to bring a present and my own alcohol. Yay.
We could do a cooking version of Clue - who will kill Sandra Lee, which room (obviously not the kitchen), and with what. Fun for all!
Yes, I knew it was mentioned. Just thought I'd give it a little more structure ... Anthony Bourdain in the bar with a mandoline, for example.
