I don't know... I don't ever tend to run out of ideas. Criminy- I cooked professionally for years- wrote menus, planned banquets/buffets/events, did everything from camp-grub to bar-apps, outdoor patio/deck fare, fine dining, casual, cafe, bistro, Kosher, holiday, etc. Possibilities are limitless! I not only question Rachel when she does the same ol/same ol repeatedly, but also her staff. I mean, Cripes! Does she even HAVE a reaseach/development crew? Hiring three moderately-skilled 20-something restaurant hash-slingers from anywhere would give her at least three years of recipe ideas! Couldn't she at least go out and buy ANY 10 current cookbooks, look thru them and fake it w/ HER version of the recipes she finds and wing-it that way? Maybe I'm just being over-critical...
Have you caught that new show called Chopped?
Four chefs compete for $10,000.
They have had some of the most arrogant chefs on there I have ever seen. None of them take criticism well at all. They were giving this one young chef who thought he was all that a talking to over double dipping when he tastes his dishes. Then he turned around and did it again during the next challenge. You see some of the chefs on FN doing that though or sticking there fingers in dishes to taste. I think that is so disgusting. I remember when Rachael Ray's talk show started and she had this one guest who was on Grey's Anatomy. She read RR the riot act over double dipping all the time.
I would not want someone preparing my food to double dip and I won't do that to someone else. That is why I always have tons of spoons to wash lol. As far as sticking my fingers in..I don't do that either. I wash my hands before I start cooking but I could touch my face or get my hands around my nose and not even realize I had done it.

I think it was Julia Childs who said something to the affect of "What happens in the kitchen, stays in the kitchen" heh..
Probably..yuck!
My biggest fear is always getting my hair in something I cook for others. I have alot of it and it is fine and breaks off easy.
When Im cooking for big family dinners I always pin it up and have Jon take a lint brush and go over the back of my shirt for me. So far so good on that one. I would be mortified if it got into the food.
