Ed Levine's Serious Diet, Week 24: How Often Should I Weigh Myself?

Honey, from someone who knows..the weight shows up a week later not two days after the big meal....if u begin weighing every day trying to get 1 no lower then if after reviewing the restaurant if you are 1 up - starve until that no goes down...heck it might not make u a great reviewer since u will be so hungry everything will taste good, but it will certainly make u a lot of new friends in the bus.

Digital Gordon Ramsay and Actual Gordon Sumner: Separated at Birth?

i bought this game and the computer graphics freeze my system...do not buy it...we will see if they are going to refund my money or not...i downloaded the full version and only got to play it much later in the day....if his chef cooked the way this game plays then he would have busted two guts by now!!

Classic Cookbooks: Color Me Pretty

there are some things that are very good bought pre-made on the grocer's shelf and one of these are cold borscht in a bottle....stir in a bit of sour cream and the taste is so much better than homemade, even if the label reads Manishewitz!

Cold borscht is not at all like hot borscht chilled in the fridge - completely different animal.

Change in Book Biz Recipe May Lead to More Interesting Food Reading

Well with Alinea cookbook and site they began selling early thereby actually the reader is financing the book and then as has happened to me, the deadline keeps getting pushed further away from the first deadline date....who is going to kick them in the ass to keep deadline?

Gothamist Interviews Food Critic and 'Iron Chef' Detractor Robert Sietsema

I think all that an intelligent food person has to think of is Robert Irvine to know and acknowledge that the Food Network Iron Chef America is on par with Celebrity Apprentice and the Bachelor: a nonsensical reality show that is scripted! Food Network has fallen far below the bar that originally began as a network to influence, to teach and to highlight food as PBS does and continues to do.

If I go back in memory to the shows that first aired on The Food Network and the intellect it took to make those shows, it encourages one to reminisce when Dean Fearing had his show, when Mario taught us, when a nation learned what it was to cook with the Two Hot Tamales...now we watch bloggers do live interviews geared to fourteen year olds, the dumming down of America's Food Network reflects the current Food Network

Robert Irvine's About Page Now Blank

His next gig will be "48 hours Mystery", on CBS...the great con of the american food world...the pimping of celebrity chefs is bound to attract the nuts who actually succeed in their efforts to be the next big thing!!

Food Network shame on you!! Do your research or hire me!

Ed Levine's Serious Diet, Week 24: How Often Should I Weigh Myself?

I recently hit a milestone weight loss of 25 lbs. I have convinced myself that the first 10 was from increasing my water intake to at least 2 litres per day. I weigh myself daily so that, like you, I can monitor my progress, but my official registry of my weight [in a simple word document I created myself] is on Monday mornings. I find that the official weigh-in day is important to my success. I also know that weight loss can vary widely from day to day, but that a weekly weigh-in gives you enough of a look at how you're doing overall. I hope my experiences help, and congratulations and keep up the good work!

Ed Levine's Serious Diet, Week 24: How Often Should I Weigh Myself?

I once had to weigh-in at the doctor's office, and the nurse didn't even let me take off my shoes. I'm surprised she let me put down my purse. You can only imagine the trauma of THAT number...

I agree with random, I go for the shower clothes at home. I may start a twice-a-week weighing, for right now it's generally Friday mornings.

Emeril: Thumbs Up or Thumbs Down?

His show was overkill on Food Network. We enjoyed him at first but got tired of him very quickly. So no, we won't follow him to Fine Living.

Emeril: Thumbs Up or Thumbs Down?

Here on the left coast, Essence of Emeril is not available except in the day time. this is sad because working folk don't get a chance to see it. I wasn't really fond of the night time show, but, at least, he cooked. All the phony stuff they put on now is truly annoying. Too much making of cakes, silly contests and contrived stuff.

Paula Dean and Rachel Ray are too much. Annoying, trite and phony! My food shows come on PBS these days where the artist/cook really cooks and you learn something. Three exceptions come to mind - Giada, Ina Garten and Ellie Krieger. I also watch Alton Brown when I can. he's funny and has his facts in order. If Tyler Florence is on, I haven't found his show

"Entertaining and heated discussions flare up about the most mundane food-related minutiae: the best thing to eat when you're lunching at your office desk; the pros and cons of Ruth's Chris Steak House."

the best thing to eat when you're lunching at your office desk is Ruth's Chris carpaccio!

I'm fairly new still here, I've still got that 'new foodie' smell, but I like it here because people share my views on how annoying people on "certain TV shows" really are.

I'd also like to thank whoever it was that posted a couple weeks ago and mentioned the wondrous "Mr. Bento"... which I anxiously await to be delivered tomorrow after 2 weeks of agonizing waiting... I imagine my first day after packing it for work I'll say "I've never eaten so much in one day in my life".

I haven't really cannonballed into the deep end of the pool here, I'm still testing the waters and watching mostly, splashing in where I can.

if I yell "MARCO!!" can I get a "POLO!!"?
