Rachael Ray's Double Dumpling Chicken Stoup

[chubbyalaskagriz]

I'll give them all a proper chance next time I get to catch them, but I tell ya what... I get teased and taunted a lot for being a fan of Paula Deen because many consider her to be just way too danged sugary/syrupy and over the top, and if I admit my true feelings- anyone much sweeter than Paula I really don't think I could deal with at all... at least not in half-hour or full-hour doses! Ha!

P.S. New avatar-of-the-day! I'm the fat one in the center! Taken at Kenai Princess Lodge in Cooper Landing, Alaska... Old dude on my right was our visiting Corporate Chef from Seattle, dude on my left w/ the murderous glare in his eye was a line-cook named Dan- GREAT GUYS!

>I'm the fat one in the center!<

To reiterate: Never trust a skinny chef!

>You may have something there with the dress-size/bra-size, Brook!<

I was being facicious, Chubby. If you wear a bra at all then you can't spill out of your cut-too-low dress. And if you don't do that you just don't qualify as a FN super-star. Hellfire. Even RR has been wearing low-cut clothing and showing as much skin as possible. And she really doesn't have the body for it.


FWIW: The Neeley's came to FN's attention from two directions: Oprah identified their place as serving the best ribs in Memphis. The Dean Boys then went and checked it out, and endorsed Oprah's assessment.

They first appeared---or she did, at any rate---as a guest on Paula's show.

Of course, once Oprah says "best" the NY Times has to put in its oar.

I've seen them as guests on other shows, and in some rather creative commercials. But haven't actually seen their show, so have no opinion on it. From what I have seen, though, she seems to be a pretty good cook.

Ain't that a fact, even HGTV (which is my favorite) almost all of the female designers are like Front page cover models from Cosmo. or something TV
Too darn bad sex sells, but it is like they are shoving it down our throats, and as was stated here somewhere a few days ago, "too much of even a good thing can be bad." It gets a little nauseating after a while, just my opinion!

Another great point KYH made is how can you trust a skinny chef? LOL I love that line, can I borrow it Brook?

[jglass]

My grandma used to have that on a little plate that hung in her kitchen.
Dont trust a skinny cook.

[KYHeirloomer]

It isn't my original line, Cathy. So you don't need my permission to use it.

Heck, it might go back to Escoffier for all I know.

[jglass]

My fav is still that one you came up with about stupid people having a purpose..to serve as an expample lol.

[KYHeirloomer]

That one too is not original to me. I first heard it about Galingburg, as a matter of fact.

The line goes: There's some good in everything. If nothing else, it can serve as a bad example.

Though it likely holds some truth in every field, coming up in kitchens during my youth I worked for mostly talented chefs whose personalities were geared towards training and passing on knowledge and expertise... but every now and then I'd cross paths with a stubborn, unfriendly stingey sort who seemed unwilling to take youngin's under his wing in any generous capacity. It was at those trying times when I told myself "Hang-in the Kev- while it's optimum to learn from others how TO do something... with the boogers of the lot, at least there's always the option of learning the second-best way, which is how NOT TO DO things."
