From the Food Network (the multi-talented Giada de Laurentis, among others):
So much of the effect is in the presentation!ÂÂ
Now, this is a terrible travesty, of course, but given his Irish roots, it is perhaps understandable that he would not wish to inflict his ancestral cuisine on anyone.
Irish cookbook:
Ingredients: Whatever.
Procedure: Boil until gray.
Scottish cooking: It’s no good unless it’s cooked inside a sheep’s stomach.
In Heaven:
The government is Swiss
The police are English
The cars are German
The food is Italian
The women are French
In Hell:
The government is Italian
The police are German
The cars are French
The food is English
The women are Swiss
Well maybe they stole the recipe from McCain. You never know. I was watching that southern lady {whose name escapes me} making a pecan pie one day and was stunned to find out she had stole my mother’s recipe. But then again there are only so many ways to make a pecan pie.
Better Half loves Giada’s show, and I encourage that.
Same here, JD. Although Giada and hubby are another example of the Billy Joel/Christie Brinkley syndrome.
I’m a Sandra Lee guy. Smaller teeth, and semi-home made doesn’t bother me a bit.
Sandra-lee is a crime against the kitchen.
Watch Mario or hell, even Rachael. You’ll learn something.
I don’t want to learn anything, I want to look at boobs.
Way OT, but, darn, doesn’t this sound like your typical blind leftist:
Mole Man……

Po (Typical)White Trash Cookbook
Ingredients: Whatever
Procedure: Pan fry in a half inch of oil in an old cast iron skillet. Mmmmmmm
Thats good eatin’..
“I don’t want to learn anything, I want to look at boobs.”
And maybe poach a tasty concoction.
mmmm Giada.
i would watch Sandra Lee more if she hired Giada;s wadrobe-ist.
the only original recipe on McCain website is the recipe for disaster:
1 cup McCrap
1 cup McTruth
2 cup McDementia
2 Tsp McWars
Mix together with McTORTURE
Poor over your McFish and McDOH-Nuts
Place into a Mc666 preheated oven
Cook for a McMinute and
McServe it fresh to your McLobbyst cronies
(plagiarized from one of the comments on Josh’s site)
I think that’s why someone suggested Mario, LMC.
(I kid!)
NO NO, you must hate Giada, I command it. Or at least fear her shark teeth.
Sandra Lee gives Giada a run for her money, no doubt.
“Irish cookbook:
Ingredients: Whatever.
Procedure: Boil until gray.”
It’s not really cuisine. It’s Pennance.
Mario does have man boobs.
Par-meee-jiaaaahhhhno Ray-geeee—iahhhhnoh
Sure does JD. Sandra/Giada Milkshakes all around.
Angela Merkel could give them both a run tho :) (check out Ace)
Sandra Lee puts plastic starfish in tasteful fishnet curtains. I like her but am suspicious of COCKTAIL TIME.
Her recipes are good time savers, but there is an abundance of coolwhip.
Go read “Heat” by Bill Buford and you will realize that Mario Batali is a god amongst men.
Christ, I go into a diabetic coma just watching Sandra Lee open packets. She’s gotta be bulemic to keep that body if she eats that stuff.
Sandra Lee is someone who has a cooking show and instructed her viewers with a straight face to put non-stick spray on Strawberry Pop-tarts, cover them with mini-marshmellows, back them into some sort of a sandwich, then cover with “Cool Whip” and a maraschino cherry. Then she poured half a bottle of Absolut Citron into a pitcher of BerryBlue Kool-Aid and called it her Summer Cooler.
I couldn’t avert my eyes.
Gotta give her this: no stinting on the food coloring.
I know, isn’t it wonderful?
Clambake!!!!!
Can’t… look… away…
I prefer Alton Browns’ “Good Eats”
WHAT??….why are y’all lookin at me like that?
OH…well, no but NTTAWWT. I just like to laugh while learning to cook..
I remember being rather mortified on Sandra Lee’s behalf when she decided to celebrate Kwanzaa with a very unfortunate cake.
I don’t think Hannukah fared much better. (Think Blue food coloring. Lots and lots. and those BB things).
Mother Africa, well, got this tragic acorn and CORN NUT! garnished disaster. several large red and green candles jammed near the oozing canned apple piefilling orifice of a cocoa-ed-up-canned-frosting smeared bundtcake. Oh, and some popcorn here and there.
Oh lordy there’s a picture of it at Food Network.
CORN NUTS
And, yeah, I forgot that was angel food cake. With corn nuts.
Oh no. BwahahahaHAHAHAHAHHAHHAHAH.
SL very enthusiastic about this Christmas tree…
What?! This is serious! You mean the McCains lied about something so trivial and then tried to cover it…
oooooo…. nice boobs!
(They don’t call Mr. Collins “Rove’s Love Child” for nothing) ;)
If his wife poaching some recipes is all they got on McCain, well he is Mr Ethics compared to Barak Rezko-Wright Obama and Hillary Conspire-to-Deny-a-sitting-President-his-Constitutional-Rights *inhaaale* Whitewater-Hsu Clinton.
I mean, c’mon.
That’s a pretty tough cake recipe. Step one: buy a cake. Paula Deen would slap the shit outta her and then smear her with lard.
That idea kind of turns you on, huh, Pablo?
Irish Seven Course Meal
1 potato, boiled.
6 bottles of Guiness
Enjoy!
I just love the comments over at the Huffpo. The article states that the McCain campaign is blaming it on an unpaid staffer. But the Huffpo loons are scoffing at that excuse… :”That Cindy McCain is a liar and is personally responsible for this debacle”. And yet, a few short weeks ago, when the Obamessiah’s senior economic advisor was telling the Canadians that Obama didn’t really mean all the stuff he was saying about deep-sixing NAFTA/CAFTA, etc… well, it was all just the fault of a low level staffer, wasn’t it? Nothing to blame dear Obama for, just another manufactured Rethuglican outrage. Let’s recap: Recipes vs. Economic policy. As Glenn Reynolds would say, Heh.
