Musings on Starters, Mains, Desserts and Second-Helpings
Posted in Food Commentary, Food Network, Rachel Ray, food TV, rant on Aug 11th, 2008
I’m depressed and want to throw up. According to Forbes Magazine, Rachael Ray** is the top-earning celebrity chef (have I mentioned before how much I HATE that term - NOTE TO FORBES: SHE-IS-NOT-A-CHEF!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!). The world must really be coming to an end. When will it end!?!!??!?! Ray-ray supposedly makes a nice […]

Usually if I’m trying to make an authentic dish, I always try to make it just that - authentic. That means that I want to use traditional ingredients and I attempt to research the many traditional ways to make that specific dish. I then decide how to combine the best bits from all […]

I think the title of this post says it all about my feelings (and others) about the famous Romans dish of pasta, traditionally spaghetti, with pecorino cheese and a good amount of freshly ground pepper. The name says is all - cacio, meaning cheese, and pepe meaning pepper. We’re not breaking any new ground here […]

Well, not exactly. Here’s what (A certain national celebrity mag) magazine’s daily news clips e-mail The Dirt reported today:
“Insiders say Rachel Ray’s daytime show will be taken off the air at the end of her contract in 2010. Apparently, her ratings are sliding.”
We are at pains to remind our readers that while we are certainly […]

I know, guys… yet again, another Ray-Ray complaint. I just can NOT stop. I try, kids… I REALLY freaking try. I put her show on and within 30 seconds, I put her on mute. Within a minute, the channel is changed. I can’t do it. I try over and over again, […]
Posted in Emeril, Food Commentary, Food Network, Rachel Ray, Sara Moulton, food, television show on Nov 27th, 2007
Supposedly, the Food Network is canning Emeril Live! I won’t say this is 100% true as I’m still doing research, but it looks like it could be true. His contract is up in the spring and Food Network will keep Essence of Emeril going, but cancel Live. It’s not enough to bring […]
Posted in Food Commentary, Food Network, Jacques Pepin, Mario Batali, Mark Bittman, Rachel Ray, Sara Moulton, food, rant on Nov 16th, 2007
Just found out that another one bites the dust for the oldies (but true goodies) from the Fool Network. Sara Moulton has either been 1) asked to leave the Food Network by not having her contract renewed because she’s not K-RAZY enough, has relatively no cleavage, is actually classically trained and/or doesn’t have a […]
Posted in Food Network, Rachel Ray, entertainment on Nov 6th, 2007
So, recenty I’ve been noticing that my blog-rant about the annoying Rachel Ray (and many other Food Network ‘personalities’) has been producing big hits on this blog (ok, big hits for this blog, which is probably nothing compared to other well-known ones). This, of course, excites me since I used to get happy when we […]

Thanks to Alana, Kerry and Coyle (some of my bff’s) for bringing to my attention the following earth-shattering news. Hold on to your asshole’s kids… be ready to be BLOWN away with excitement! This is from People mag’s daily update I get from my friend Kerry who works for the mag:
Rachael Ray is launching […]
Posted in Food Network, Mario Batali, Rachel Ray, television show on Sep 6th, 2007
Did you hear the news? Do you care? Well I do! One of the ONLY people I could even tolerate on the freaking Food Network has been freaking FIRED! The only positive thing that has come out of the firing (ok, I’d like to believe that Mario really walked out on the network because they […]
