She reminds me of a bobble head doll. Big exaggerated features on a
stick figure. Weird.
I like her food though.

LOL Very weird. That's probably why so many find her attractive. I
dunno.

Agreed.

Hmmmmm. Escoffier once said that good cooking is 10 per cent in
the head and 90 per cent in the legs. He may have been talking about
ingredients.

I'm on cable and it's still slow.

I didn't see anything to click on, hence my question. What I saw was
a page for web hosting.... and it seemed like pure advertising for
something called RapidShare. The link is neatly burried in a lot of
cr*p.

Better to upload it to YouTube if you really want to share Steve. I'm
bored already. The file is only 50% downloaded and I finished this
post before I've seen the video.... after jumping through multiple
hoops just to get to the download stage.

Sheesh - that is *not a browser friendly site.... it confused my
modem/router at 86% downloaded. Now I have to recycle them and the
computer because just recycling them didn't put me back online.

Hummmm.. Completely different perspective. I see her head isn't the
only big thing on that little body. Was there and food related things
on that show other than melons? Thanks for the clip. I watched it 10
times. <eg>

She's doing the same thing that hispanic reporters do. They really
get into the pronunciation when it comes to Spanish, especially their
names - "I'm Rigo Chacon, Channel 2 News".

Since she's bilingual (or more?), it only makes sense (to me). I'd like
to be able to speak another language, but alas, I don't. Does high
school french count?

She grew up in an Italian household. I'd annoyed if she used an
American pronunciation for Italian words.

Yes, but she doesn't have an Italian accent until she says
spaGITee.

I think her recipes are great and her food is good. However, the
camera does sometimes make it look like she has a big head and teeth.
Now Rachel Ray and the latest "whoring" herself out to the media and
snack food producers is really getting to me.

I think she's beautiful.

You can't take it away from her, she works her ass off.

True. And after having been here in Naples for 2 months I must say that
there isn't ANYTHING understated about the way Italians pronounce their
words.

That doesn't bother me. The size of her mouth does. She looks like
she's gonna swallow her own head if she yawns. But I think she can cook ok.

Yup, that girl's got a big face. But I've noticed that no one has
complained about her cooking, so she must be decent at it. IOW, she's
no Sandra Lee when she's behind the range... ;-)

I have a part friend that can't watch Giada without getting physically
ill over her accent.

I, on the other hand, find her absolutely enchanting.

I haven't tried her recipes, but I find her very attractive.

Don't put yourself down as being "just a plain ole middle class Joisey
girl"; I'd kill to have "a plain ole middle class Joisey girl" in my
life....

There's one recipe she made that I liked but haven't made.

I don't remember the name of the dish but it was basically lasagna noodle and
filling roll-ups baked in a bechamel (?) sauce.

Oh, try it. It's good. You can find the recipe on the Food Network site.
I make it frequently. I thought that I had copied the recipe to my recipe
file -- if I did, I don't know where I put it. I'll have to find it again.

Sounds like a canneloni, although I thought she used a tomato sauce
for that.

She's a "real" Italian who was born in Italy.

I don't particularly mind Giada's Italian pronunciation. However, the
perusals I've gotten of her latest show left me with the disturbing
impression that she's turning into Rachel Ray. She acts completely
enraptured by everything she puts in her mouth just as RR does in
$40.00 A Day. She does the rolling of eyes, the fake ectasy,
everything but "Yum-O!" The resemblance is uncanny, so much so that I
have to wonder if the Food Network makes Giada consult the same (bad)
acting coach RR used.

Let's see....She's an Italian citizen born in Italy and she pronounces
Italian words like the Italian she is. Wow, that's really annoying!
How dare she? What should she do? Butcher the pronunciation to suit
your tastes?
