Fixed*


Edit* I guess i'll contribute.

I put a couple steaks in the smoker the other day. Now i can't say it's the best way to cook a steak, but it certainly isn't the worst. They came out extremely tender.
And something green.



Yield from my garden has been pretty low. So i'm bummed about that.

That would be fantastic! It's just funny to see this. Recently we were watching a newer show on Netflix (I think) of Giada De Laurentiis, and noticed she always had this size of cheese wheel behind her and girlfriend kept mentioning, "JFC, how long do you think that will last?"

It is a bit exaggerated, but I know I, nor my girlfriend, would kick her out of bed for eating crackers.

I just wouldn't be able to deal with looking at that in person.

Funnily enough, I remember seeing a photo of her in an advertisement in an in-flight magazine a few years ago. I had no idea who she was, but she had that same joker-smile expression, and I remember thinking to myself "What ad agency thought that putting this face on their client's product was a good idea?" I didn't know her name until today.

I was damn near traumatized by seeing it.

Not only would I kick her out of my bed for eating crackers, I would likely cross the street to avoid walking past her on the sidewalk. Because I'm 207% certain that she'd try to indoctrinate me into a cult.

Giada de Lauren**** is unacceptable, but adult women who look like Asian boys is attractive? You definitely have a very eccentric taste in women.

No judgement here, just interesting to see the varied tastes in different people.

They don't necessarily have to be Asian.

But they do have to not remind me of Jack Nicholson as The Joker.

you're looking at her wrong.


I took this picture of her when I was in Italy.



if you squint and look across the Ponte Vecchio you can see three studio lights on a balcony to the left. That was her filming Giada in Florence.






this is actually a crop of the above image. Gotta love MPs.

I can't imagine any one of her dishes actually tasting good. IMHO, she's kinda of a hack. Give me Bobby Flay or Ina Garten any day.

When we were watching the episodes of the show Brainy just took a picture of, we constantly asked each other "Does everything have to have fennel and/or mushrooms in it?"

To be fair to Joe, she also laughs like the Joker and has to be the constant center of attention of all males in the room. I bet she's intolerable.

Rumor has it she also prefers Bobby Flay.
