I'll probably still be asleep.

I don't get the hate, either. Envy?

She is WAY too perky on her show, but damn if her recipes aren't easy and delicious.

Now, Sandra Lee? That bitch can go to hell and take her half-assed food with her.

My wife doesn't understand. But she likes Anthony Bourdain, and he's an asshole, so make of it what you will.

Try $5 a day and I might be intrigued.

I'm kind of sad now, though, I was really entertained by the idea of that being her reaction to any criticism: "hey, fuck you, I have FIVE DOGS! I keep a plastic baggie on at least one hand 24/7, that's how much shit I'm picking up, you think I have time to read blogs?"

I think people complained mostly cause they find her annoying, which is obviously dumb if that is the only reason stated to NOT go to this show. Its always about the bands and never the promoter.

That said, many people genuinely find her really annoying.

Actually, that was a transcription error with the original piece, it seems. The article was changed, and I tried to change this post, but the correction is lost somewhere in space and time.

as a cook, i have to respect the alternatives that she offers to people who hate cooking. i also respect her honesty about herself. i am just realistic about what purpose she serves, it makes her much easier to understand and accept.

One month, the position was "Rachael Ray doesn't suck" and it was written by RR herself. It made me like her a lot. as best i can recall, her points were: i never claim to be a great chef, somebody clearly likes my TV shows, and i'm rich, so go screw.
