Does it make a little more sense for the food forum, now?

Would have worked really, really well if you could put dancing emoticons in the subject line. I got it.

WTH? I went down and kicked the cats for nothing?

Don't worry, they deserved it. They really are trying to kill their owners.

He always wears orange crocs, at least for a long while.

I actually kind of like what she is wearing in that picture.  They style and color combo is retro.  I love Alton Brown and Iron Chef but I don't think I can stomach this one.

Anyone as excited as me about tonight's Iron Chef America?!?
   
  
Because I'm pretty darn excited to see the White House executive chef in action. And even better, our first lady is going to make an appearance.

It's nice to have a break, however brief, from all of the negativity thrown around about President Obama on DU and in the MSM.

So, won't you join me in my unbridled adoration of First Lady Michelle Obama this evening?

I guess if Chelle's chef doesn't win they'll protest like when the ghey dude lost on American Idol. The fix is in Chelle's team will win.

obama should stand next to barbara milkulski(who always wears orange.) They'd look like a carrot and a pumpkin.

I wonder if the DUmmie realises that the WH chef was appointed by Laura Bush ...  :-)

I watched the first hour of it....and the last few minutes.

Michelle was only on for a very short time....

The WH chef was teamed up with Bobby Flay so that gave her an advantage. The two teams scored the same on taste, but Flay/WH chef scored higher on originality and plating.

The vegetables and fruits were out of the WH garden and they were given basic proteins - pork, turkey, chicken, beef. 

The judges said that Mario/Emeril stayed too traditional or something to that effect....
Just hand over the chocolate...back away slowly...far away....and you won't get hurt....

Emeril &  Mario were cheated. Their food looked WAY better than the WH Chef's & Bobby Flay's. That  stupid clam chowder without cream almost made me :puke: I would have sunk them the Flay team on that alone. :puke:

I'm not sure what that stuff was...but it sure wasn't something I would have referred to as clam chowder.

I didn't see any of Mario/Emeril's food.

Do you watch "Chopped"?  I love that show!!

It had all of the ingredients of a clam chowder but with a pureed broccoli "soup". There were some other food items that seemed odd. The only thing that the Flay team did was keep it towards the "healthy" side. I can't say that Emeril/Batali did that, but their food looked delicious. :yum:

After all, "vegetarian" in a Native American word for "lousy hunter".........

I like "Chopped". I watched "Worst Cook" last night. That was somewhat entertaining.

Well, I guess I don't need to watch my DVR'd episode.  I was rooting for Emeril and Mario.  Oh well.

I also DVR'd Worst Cook.
R.I.P. LC and Crockspot.  Miss you guys.

  WOW and here I was under the impression that because some chemical was used on the lawn the garden was a no go as the food could become contaminated.  They must have fixed that little problem.

Yeah, they removed the majority of the contaminated soil and replaced it at a very large expense to the taxpayer. After all, it's not THEIR money!!!  :hammer: :hammer: :hammer:
