This ep begins with SLop in the pantry wearing a weird brown tie-die patterned
shirt over a solid brown shirt, so I guess this means today’s colour is brown! She yammers about a vacation/trip to Texas, and how much she l-l-loved the food. Of course, she must therefore desecrate it! She grabs a platter and recipe box, and rattles off the menu before we bop off into the opening credits. SLop enters the kitchen, which is brown. The brisket is lying, ashamed, on the brown butcher paper on the cooktop. Sandra lifts it and talks some more about Texas food, the sticks the brisket in a baking dish and covers it with meatloaf seasoning, which she states contains "onions, garlic, and lovely seasonings", a bottle of what looked like Budweiser (from the label only, could have been something else), and two cups of apple cider. SLop sticks it into the oven at 375 degrees for three hours, which she describes as the "braising process". SLop then returns to the counter to make the "mashed potato salad". Which she made with microwaves frozen hash browns! Anyhow, she lets them cool off and adds some hard-boiled aigs and some other stuff I no longer remember. She then tells us to fold the ingredients, only to stir her MASHED potato salad, warning us not to stir too aggressively or we'll break up the potatoes in the MASHED potato salad. SLop then mixes half a stick of butter, some garlic bread spread (which, I believe, has butter in it), and a McCormick's mesquite seasoning packet. SLop heats it in the microwave and then spreads it on four pieces of raggedy looking bread slices. She then meticulously instructs on how on to toast the bread on a grill pan so it has dianglular grill marks on it. SLop retrieves the brisket, which looks amazingly like an overcooked meat loaf, onto a foil wrapped cooking sheet and smothers it with some BBQ sauce. According to Sandy, this is a five hour process, but the three hours its been cooking in the liquid added to the 45 min with the "basting process" only add up to three hours and 45 minutes. She pops it in the overn and starts to work on the Red Velvet Bars. SLop takes a box of German Chocolate cake mix and adds a stick of butter, an egg, and some red food colouring. After she mixes it appears like a gigantic lump of Play-Doh into a cake pan, but I am sure it doesn't taste as good. SLop cuts the brisket, which looks remarkably like the shoe Charlie Chaplin boiled in "The Gold Rush", had he been a sasquatch. Brisket shouldn't look like that! The brisket done (in more ways than one), SLop giddily announces "It's cocktail time! Best time of the day!", but sadly, there is no accompanying pop-up graphic. This week, she makes a Cowboy Cocktail by filling some mugs with crushed ice, pouring some Corona beer over it, and adding a dash of tequilla. Gag! Her choice of choking hazzard for this drink is a small mint shrubbery and some limes. After chugging her drink, she shows us her tablescape. The Hell? That is Not approved HO-down daycor! Two cloth napkins? When I’ve eaten brisket, it always involves a roll of paper towels somewhere on the table. I guess this is a fancy-dancy HO-down.. -- WARNING!!! Use of these recipes may be hazardous to your health, food budget, standing in your community and liver function. Use at your own risk!! We assume no liability from any illness or injury sustained while eating the "food" or being exposed to crapass tablescapes. And no, we're not sure where she grew up either. The Cordon Bleu disavows any knowlege of Miss Lee. |

So is this one: "After she mixes it appears like a gigantic lump of Play-Doh into a cake pan, but I am sure it doesn't taste as good." Where's my royalty check, Ubi? ![]() -andy |

Yesterday, for the first time in a looong time I had the opportunity to sit for a few minutes, uninterrupted, in front of the TV, so I tuned into FTV, and guess who was on?? She was wearing some gawd-awful black and white thing that had a big-ass "S" on it. Unfortunately I tuned in too late to see any "cooking"...she was already well into her cocktail time and tablescape nightmare. Apparently the theme was "Casino Night!" because she used a deck of playing cards to decorate not just the hideous table cover, but the backs of the chairs!! Poor playing cards were undoubtedly as ashamed as the brisket! There are simply no limits to her lack of taste and decency. Sandy |

I had to look away when I saw the mini-burgers. Make sure you read ALL of Ubi's thoughts on this one. Marilyn |

The ironic part is, the spell checker doesn't catch 'sell checker' :-D |
