Hey, they only had $10. Cereal's like $4 a box!

Could you have done something creative with oatmeal? Maybe not in 20 minutes.
Maybe a granola omelet? The idea of that just made me sick.

I think what you could do with the stuff depends on what the limited supplies from the pantry were.

"We are the Goon Squad and we're coming to town...Beep! Beep!" - David Bowie, "Fashion"
Shit, I just read that Mario Batali's shows haven't been renewed and as a result he's quit Iron Chef America. I'm not surprised, given how the Food Network's been trending (and I think Tony Bourdain predicted this in one of his anti-FN diatribes), but still sad. That pretty much leaves Alton and Morimoto (the once every decade he gets chosen now) as a draw on that show for me.
It also makes me way less interested in that NEXT IRON CHEF show that's coming up, since it's obvious why they're having it.

Hmm, I wonder who will be the next Iron Chef. If it's Giada DeLaurentis, I'm picketing the building.
Food Network is getting like MTV. Fewer cooking shows, more random bullshit like "Great Festivals" and "Decorative Fruit and Vegetable Carving Challenge"

We're very stretchy. - Connie Neil
A&E has also gone down that path (Miami Ink, Airline, Gene Simmons).
I'll admit to liking Ace of Cakes on Food Network, but for straight cooking shows, the only one I watch on FN is Good Eats. PBS is starting to get me with America's Test Kitchen, which I watched for the first time a few weeks ago.

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!
If you want good cooking shows that actually teach something, it's slim pickings these days.
As for me, I stopped watching FN several years ago. It just got too insipid. I miss my Two Fat Ladies (and yes I know the one died, but the other one is still living and breathing, and cooking I bet).

I read that they're going to get rid of two of the current ICAs. Then I know that they are choosing at least one Iron Chef through the contest "The Next Iron Chef."
I like the cooking shows I see on PBS or it's digital companion Create.
