I believe that Molto, Sarah are different.
I missed Essence of Emeril yesterday, but it is not the same today.

Who are you watching today?

I watched and recorded Bash with Giada diLaurentisis (sp?) the other night
because it was the 40th? anniversary of Days of Our Lives. It seemed almost
a repeat of her other two that I watched and the concept is now getting
boring.

I was hoping to see Bill Hayes; he is my cousin. All I saw was a bunch of
guys that I couldn't tell whether they were caterers or up-and-coming stars.

They do that all the time, even from Saturday to Sunday. Then they
repeat the shows for years on end. Get a lot of mileage out of their
shows.

Where's my evil twin when I need him. He'd put it into worse perspective.

The commercials rotate more often than the shows do.

There's more than one channel out there to watch.... try Discovery and
History for starters.

I think that's the show that had the *godawful* sounding chili,
with every bizarre ingredient you could think of? Must have been
a joke, let me google for the recipe. The.stug posted this:

i was watching
'cookin' in brooklyn' on the discovery home channel...
chef alan harding was making chili, and it just looked god awful...
here is proof it exists:

http://home.discovery.com/fansites/cookininbrooklyn/recipes/chili.html

and here is the damage:
4-5 strips of bacon
Lots of black pepper shakes
1 package ground beef
1/2-1 lb. frozen turkey
2 onions
1 bell pepper
1 fennel
1-2 carrots
1/2 eggplant
2/3 tsp. curry powder
2 Tbsp. crushed red pepper
1-2 Tbsp. dried rosemary
1-2 Tbsp. adobo seasoning
5-7 garlic cloves
3 Tbsp. fig jam
1/2 cup yellow mustard
1-2 Tbsp. Thai chili sauce
1-2 Tbsp. hungarian paprika
1/2 cup barbecue sauce
1/3 jar of pickles (with juice!)
1 Poblano chili
1/4 cup brown sugar
1 tsp. cinnamon
2 Tbsp. salt
1/3 cup spaghetti sauce
1/2 pint of beer
1/2-1 cup rice
1 handful of baby arugula
2/3 cup cherry tomatoes
1 small package of crushed pork rinds
1 handful of cilantro
unlimited pepper jack cheese
1/2 tsp. cayenne pepper
1 can kidney beans
1 can pinto beans

To begin, pan-fry the bacon while adding black pepper to your liking.
While the bacon is cooking, start slicing your vegetables. Cut your
bell pepper, fennel, onions and carrots - trying to keep them all
relatively equal in size. Make sure the vegetables are cut and ground
through the food processor by the time the meat is ready. Grind your
vegetables carefully; they should be coarse and varying in size. Slice
the eggplant and Poblano chili and put those through the processor as
well.

After the bacon has cooked, add some of the frozen ground turkey to the
left over bacon fat. Simmer the turkey in the fat, keeping the turkey
one level across so it cooks evenly. Sprinkle on some more cracked
black pepper as the turkey cooks. Add your fresh ground beef and a good
amount of salt to the ground turkey once it's thawed. Sprinkle some
cinnamon and cayenne pepper, as well as paprika, crushed red pepper,
adobo seasoning, dried rosemary and curry powder to the cooking meat.

Next, add vegetables to the ground meat. Mix the vegetables throughout
the meat, allowing them to brown slightly. While the content's cooking,
add pinto beans (sauce included) and kidney beans to the pot.

For the sauce, combine some garlic cloves, fig jam, mustard, Thai
sauce, barbecue sauce, pickles (sauce included), brown sugar and
spaghetti sauce. Puree the mixture in the blender thoroughly and add
the finished product to the chili. Pour a half-pint of beer into the
chili and allow it to simmer on a medium flame for about an hour. Add
the rice and arugula, and finally some cherry tomatoes and crushed pork
rinds. Stir evenly and serve with cilantro, pepper jack cheese and
bacon bits on the side.

one dish, even if a lot of them are seasonings....Sharon

Thank you Sharon - I just got thru printing out all the programs that I am
interested in. It is DHOME - 194 on my Dish network.
Chef at Home - next one tomorrow night at 9:30 pm is Lazy Day Beef Stew.
Thanks up for the heads up info on PEI.

But alas! and anon! I see that on my subscription of 120 channels, I don't
get it. If I subscribed to the 180 channels, I would get it.

Pooh! But we are thinking of going to Direct TV soon -- not sure, but a
possibility. To upgrade on our present Dish would cost an arm and a leg
with all we want to add, but Direct would offer it close to nothing (so we
think) as a new subscriber.

Thanks again,
Dee Dee

Good luck. Satellite tv is expensive, but worth it if you call it
your main entertainment. The Chef at Home is a good show, with one
exception. The camerawork makes me crazy with all it's bouncing
around. I think Michael Smith is hyper, as you will see if you get
it....lol

OB food....eye of round roast. Painted with dijon mustard and
sprinkled with seasonings (I haven't figured out which ones I want to
use yet) and dry roasted to med-rare. Scalloped potatoes and steamed
broccoli,cauliflower mix. Both were on sale last Friday. ....Sharon

We don't call it our main entertainment -- but it's close! We have to go to
Blockbuster on-line to get more. We love foreign movies and we found that it
supplies us well. We had netflick and it was horrible. They have now
something like a class-action against them. DH used to call them and ask
them where the movies were that we ordered and they would talk to us as long
as we would stay on the line about why they couldn't get it to send to us.

Our next main entertainment is food and libations! But mostly at home.

Today DH went to Chambersburg PA where there is an Aldi's. He said the
store WAS like the wholesale places that we've seen in North Dakota or
Nebraska or Idaho in the 70's- stacked up and hardly could get thru boxes
upon boxes with nothing of interest to us. But most importantly, he said
there was no wine! Well, we can't have that!

OB: Today making my third round of bread using the third pound of Peter
Reinhart's "Crust and Crumb" poolish. It will be a ciabatta; the two
previous were Sweet Rustic bread and Naan bread. Today I mixed the dough &
poolish in KA mixer for abt 13 minutes, am now letting sit for 3 hours,
then into the refrigerator in a bowl overnight. Tomorrow I will shape and
put in the refrigerator overnight again,, if I so wish, or bake it tomorrow.
Depends on how racked I am.

You win the prize.

Yes. Clue 1 about watching television: YOU ARE NOT THEIR CUSTOMER.
YOU ARE THEIR PRODUCT*. THEY SELL YOU TO THEIR CUSTOMER, THE
ADVERTISER. IF THEY CAN SELL THE SAME PRODUCT TO ANOTHER CUSTOMER, IT
IMPROVES THEIR RETURN ON INVESTMENT.

* - or rather, you and other people like you, some of whom may have
missed the show once or twice

The solution to this is to record the shows that are on when you're not
around, and play those over the ones you've already seen. But even
that is likely to produce repeats, frequently. TV networks are
notoriously cheap [censored].
