Fear and loathing in the groceries

The other day I had my husband pick up some groceries. When, I was putting them away, to my utter shock and horror, I found... A can of Easy Cheese. I went through the seven stages of grief and now I think I am in acceptance. But, even so, make me feel better. What things do your friends or significant others eat that upset your heart; or your stomach?

Who has the BEST cooking show on TV and why?

Alton Brown is my favorite I LOVE Good Eats and the Feasting on Asphalt. He has made me laugh so hard I started crying and had to pause the show till I calmed down and was able to continue watching. When I was learning to cook when Good Eats first came on the air it helped me understand what I was doing wrong and show me in other aspects the were many ways to do thing not that one "right way" I was always looking for.

Kitschy Recipes

hmm chocolate lovers cake. Modified cake mix with sour cream and chocolate almond bars chopped up in the batter. Then you put cherry goo, whipped cream and more chopped chocolate on top. Definately need to make it.

Do you have a Signature Dish?

For my in-laws it is cinnamon rolls; I am not allowed there on Christmas without them. My family its rum cakes. Its the classic recipe with cake mix but, thats what they like. For Christmas I have to make 6 of them .

Can you cook rice?

I am the one that couldn't cook rice. It took 7 years and a husband who loves rice for me. I would start the rice, then work on everything else when i realized the water was boiling it had boiled down quite a bit. Then i would put the rice in and the rice was always hard. Now I have it, but, really it was always a timing issue. And no you don't have to be stupid not to get rice. You just have to be inexperienced or have a limited attention span.

Your Typical Breakfast: Weekday and Weekend

weekday i grab some cereal or a yogurt. weekend biscuits and gravy sometime, eggs and toast, or pancakes. For super special occasions or just cause i want them cardamom Ebelskivers; heaven, with raspberry jelly and sour cream served with sausage and bacon. Best part if you make them early you can eat them all day long.

Eating for Two: Whole Wheat Chocolate Chip Cookies

may i suggest not eating in early labor. I had my son in February and they had told i could eat in early labor. So i had a bowl of cheerios. When we got to the hospital before we could even check in I started throwing up. Also as a first time mom I was in labor from when i realized i was in labor to when he was born for 11 hours and only 4 hours from when my water broke. So be prepared for long labor; but, know it doesn't always go that way.

Ted Allen is a Food Myth Buster

It sounds ok, but it seems to me more like a show that Alton Brown would host. Or, at least, I would like to see him make.

@minstrel - There's something Bonnie & Clyde or Godfather about your excellent names! I see them with machine guns and bowls of spaghetti. ;)

STIV61, you list the website for THE KITCHEN DIVA! show but obviously you've never read about the show or the host, Angela Shelf Medearis. She isn't cooking "soul food" which I guess you place in the fried chicken and barbeque category or assumed she'd be doing since she's African-American. Mrs. Medearis via THE KITCHEN DIVA! show is trying to address the need for healthier eating by preparing locally grown, organic, and often-times vegetarian dishes. The program is sponsored by a non-profit organization called Book Boosters, so if you have a problem with the production values I suggest that you make a donation as they operate on grant funds and donations so that they can provide the program at no charge to PBS stations in the hope that viewers who are suffering from food related diseases can use her recipes to prepare traditional favorites in a healthier way. I also looked at the photos, video clips from her shows and recipes on her site and I thought the food looked delicious!

MORE FN Road Shows!!

i have to be honest i like Diners Drive ins and Dives. I dont know if this qualifys but i really enjoyed the Feasting on Asphault stuff too, of course it had Alton Brown so of course i liked it, and he seemed less scripted and more natural, so it was even better! As for the rest of the road shows FN airs, well the less said the better. I just hope they dont decide to let aunt shmandy host one! I can see it now, she travels America and showcases Denny's, I hops and McD's. (shudder)
