Ovens have slots to move the food being broiled closer to the flame or
barring that purchase a stack of garden variety terracotta to move the food
even closer.
It doesn't take a $100,000 dollar Food Network Kitchen makeover, sponsored
by Lowes or Home Depot to produce good food. I wouldn't let any of those
three entities into my home. Rachael Ray's voice sounds like chalk grating
on a slab of slate and her recipes taste exactly like chalk grating on a
slab of slate. I can't believe that stupid bitch has a major network TV
show. Even I could open a few can of vegetables, some chicken stock, reveal
the fact that I'm flat chested and have huge hips, while burning enough food
to feed all fifty people who make sure I don't have to move more than ten
feet to cook a 30 min. meal.
If I had a variety of prep cooks, prep video whores and dish washers my
meals would be spectacularly mediocre just like hers are. She often states
she's bad about burning bread she wants to toast in the broiler. Have you
ever seen her do it? Why, because she's got fifty idiots making sure she
doesn't. I personally would rather watch endless reruns of Jamie Oliver
than that canned Rachael Ray crap. The Oprah of food, my ****in ass is
hurting over that. Not only do I have to change the channel during 30 min.
meals, now I've got to change it every time $40 dollars a day, Tasty Travels
and a host of other specials appear. She's a flat chested, loud mouthed,
MILF type who can't cook unless she's got an army to prep and clean up
afterwards. I'd like to see her on the next four episodes of Iron Chef
getting her ass handed to her on a silver platter by every other food
network star.
Darn near everything you need to make delicious meals can be purchased at a
mom and pop hardware store or a yard sale. Christ, you can smoke salmon
with an electric hot plate, a cardboard box and a few limbs you pick up
under your neighbors pecan tree.
