Semi-Homemade with Sandra Lee: Book Club Luncheon
 

Book Club Luncheon

Layered crab salad; roasted chile guacamole; pesto chicken
panini; banana chocolate chip cake.

I caught this ep Sunday but didn't realize it was a new one until just
now. The shock of seeing SLop in that hideous retinal burn inducing
yellow and white ensemble made it nearly impossible to look directly at
her this week. Perhaps that was the intended plan? Being unable to watch
SLop directly caused my mind to wander, but at one point I couldn't help
but laugh when I noticed her trying to subdue a sandwich of epic
proportions with a skillet. Since I watch Good Eats, I knew what she was
trying to do, but it's hilarious watching her screw up what she sees on
real cooking shows! Did I see SLop tell us to put heavy cream in her
mocktail but pour in half anf half? Guacamole mixed with mashed
peas? Did SLop desecrate books again for the tablerape portion of the
show? Once again, I was only paying half attention and thought she had a
notepad with a sentence on it that was to be passed to your left after
adding a sentence and read aloud when after it completed the circuit.
Was this "book club" perchance her future nieces' Scholastic Book Club?

Oh, God, the favors. She had books with inspirational sayings on the
inside (she made a big deal about this, lest you buy book with the text
on the outside) and then she ripped pages out of bigger books and
highlighted random words in yellow, and then all the girl were to make
up a story using her highlighted words, going round robin around the
table.

Not to mention her guests.

I don't mind shows where there is no claim that people are actually
going to eat the food being prepared. I don't mind shows where the cook
is making the food for people, either friends or family, and the end of
the show has family or friends actually eating the food. I don't care
if it is just 30 seconds, it brings the show full circle to completion.
Giada does this sometimes, and I like it. I don't like it, though, when
the cook claims to be cooking the food to be eaten by family or friends,
and then the show ends with nobody eating the food. That's Sandra Lee.
She sometimes tastes the food herself while cooking, but nobody else
ever eats it, during the show or at the end. Of course, she *always*
tastes her alcoholic drinks. Quality control counts there. There
doesn't even seem to be room on her tablescapes for the food, although
certainly somebody could haul the plates Into the kitchen and plate the
food there. Still, if I had to sit at one of those tablescapes, it's
possible that I would lose my appetite. Sandra Lee sometimes has
relatives there, but they don't taste. Her sister Kimmy was there once,
her niece Stephanie was there once and Brycer has been there more than
once (I seldom watch the show, only when I feel like some comedy, so
they may have actually appeared many more times). Stephanie and Brycer
were there with friends, although they were invisible. Stephanie was
there for a sleepover with her invisible friends, and Aunt Sandy was
making breakfast for them. Aunt Sandy made a big point that the *two*
dishes that she made with frozen "hash brown" potato bits would contain
no ketchup, and no ketchup would be served with them. She didn't
explain why ketchup was so horrible for kids, but I assumed it was the
large amount of sugar in them (my open bottle of ketchup says 4g of
sugars per tablespoon). No ketchup for those kids! A few minutes
later, Aunt Sandy is making deep fried chicken fingers. Doesn't sound
like a traditional breakfast, but kids don't care. She makes a dipping
sauce of half mustard and half honey. Hello? Doesn't she know that
honey has sugar in it? Well, many kids that age don't like mustard
anyway, and even if they do, they won't pig out on it. She makes
another dipping sauce out of half ketchup and half honey. Hello? What
happened to "no ketchup" for the kids? Does she think that adding honey
will make it have less sugar?

(laugh) I just got around to watching it. This is the first time
I've seen the show downstairs on the big screen HDTV.
Between the yellow apron, the curtains and the vase of roses,
it was rather blinding.

Watching her move the sandwich to a cutting board from the
griddle, you could see that coming. Move the cutting board
over and just slide it across!

Sandwich did look pretty good, I'd eat it.

I'm not the queen of guacamole or anything, but I've never
made it with cooked ingredients. She cooked the peas and
onions along with some garlic and a guacamole flavor powder
pouch, whatever is in that.

She said it was an old book. I guess it wasn't good anymore.

Got one right here. Note it says "Just add avocadoes"

Maltodextrin, onion, sour cream powder, lemon juice powder, salt,
spices, garlic powder, red bell peppers, natural & artificial flavor,
partially hydrogenated soybean oil.

Must have been one of her cook books then.
