Food Network addict

I go through phases, but right now I'm totally addicted to Food Network. I should be president of the Paula Deen fan club. "Ya all got tuh make sher ya let all the rum cook out or you'll catch yerself a buzz! I'm just tellin' ya so ya don't call me uh fussin'..." Oh, the genius of Paula Deen...

Angela and I both had to work today, but we had the morning together so we caught up on some Tivoed shows, and our Tivo knows how much we love Food Network so it had four episodes of Chefography waiting for us. We had already seen the Emeril one, but we watched Paula Deen, Ina Garten and Giada De Laurentiis today and they were all equally fascinating and inspiring and completely worth three hours of our lives. For a minute there I was motivated to open up a specialty food store next to the Lowes at 423 and El Dorado, but I suppose just because it worked in the Hamptons doesn't mean it will work in Little Elm. I'm up to my ears in writing projects and life-planning anyway and don't have time spin tarts. I do make a mean cheesecake though.

Next weekend we might actually have some quality cooking time. I hope so. Angela wants to make Giada's Chocolate - Ricotta pie with the pine nut crust. Maybe we'll make Ina's Provencal Tomatoes too, stuffed with bread crumbs, herbs, and all sorts of goodness. And maybe we'll catch us a buzz with something of Paula's. :-) Yay for quality cooking time.
