Andrew is OK, a balder, geekier Anthony Bourdain....its good comedy. 

I grew up watching Jacques Pepin, Julia Child, Yan Can Cook and Justin Wilson.

I find that guy Guy Fiero and Emeril to be infinitely annoying.

Alton Brown is best all around......and he is a motorcyclist!

On the menu for tomorrow night:

Fresh mozzarella with sliced tomatoes, balsamic, salt and pepper.

Gnocchi in a cream sauce with roasted red peppers, eggplant, and goat cheese

Grilled pesto chicken

Salad with caramelized pear, dried cranberries, chopped walnuts, and Gorgonzola

Don't know what wine and dessert will be until tomorrow night...

Dammit Dante, you beat me to it.  Nigella is on my top ten "women Id like to pleasure" list.  She makes green peppers sensual.

Yea, she's super purrty.  Her show on Food Network didn't really take off unfortunately, but I thought it was filmed really strangely.  Everything was a super closeup, you couldn't see what she was doing.  Maybe that was the point??

I like Bizarre Foods, but it seems to be tamed down now.  The episode where they ate the frog soup was crazy.

i saw her show a couple of times,
i thought it was strange to end the show with her raiding the fridge in her bathrobe...

Tony Bourdain had a funny story about Nigella. Apparently at some charity thing a bunch of celebrity chefs were gathered around and trying to outdo one another with stories of things they've eaten. Bourdain naturally has his cobra heart story and everyone's trying to take it up a notch thinking that Nigella is all dainty and would get grossed out and leave when she responds with, "‘When I was in Spain, they aborted a pig for me and roasted the fetus. Soooo good.” Apparently that ended the conversation. 

Maybe she need to refuel! 

Nigella is scrumptous..

As I´m stuck indoors with allergies and have nothing better to do, I´ve made a curried mince and asparagus tört followed by juicy, tandoori grilled chicken for lunch. Accompanied by a Saranac Pumpkin Ale

Tonight it´s seared garlic and hojiblanca marinated red tuna served on a bed of wild rice and topped with caramelized onions and garlic cookies.

Should keep me busy for a while

One downside of having kids: They like fish-sticks and chicken tenders.

Before they showed up I used to love cooking, now... well at least I make my own fish-sticks and chicken tenders (panko & sesame crust) and they will eat asparagus, broccoli and Brussels sprouts.

But give them a plate of perfectly cooked beef with a chipotle demi-glaze... "too spicy"

I'm tempted to keep slipping larger and larger amounts of spices into their milk until they build up a tolerance for flavor 

Thats what the Korean kids do......either eat Kim-Chi for breakfast or dont eat!

I like Kim-Chi, but not for breakfast.

If it was mixed with Vodka, I might change my mind.

More like the zaftig English babe treating Dave properly  

BTW: I can't quite trust anyone who claims they love food and isn't just a lil bit fat.

Unless they smoke like a chimney, like Bourdain.
