Sandra's Money Saving Meals: Grilling
 

SLop looked GHASTLY this week! I couldn't help but noticed her
airbrushed tan wasn't done very well (semi-half-assed?). You could
clearly see a demarcation line on her forehead that distracted me the
rest of the episode. Leave it to SLop to do a show about grilling
INDOORS. Moron!

Other than that, I had trouble paying attention to SLop and her
ridiculous Sandie-Math ™, although I was bemused by her claims that she
was such a clever little money-saver by growing her own herbs in her
kitchen window (results may vary, especially if your kitchen window
doesn't face East or West, according to a quick disclaimer pop-up box).
I'd LOVE to see how this moron came up with six cents for the cost since
she obviously didn't take the cost of pots, seeds or seedlings, and
water into account. Also "informative" was her newsflash that chicken
with the bones left in is cheaper. Didn't she claim last week that
whack-a-dough was the cheapest? And it's cheaper to make potato salad
than to buy it at the store?

Where does one buy already-made pizza dough?

Concerning those banana s'mores nachos; Does Miss Stephanie get any
kickbacks on the profits Sandy makes from stealing what are obviously
the recipes created by a very young child??

Did I see blood oozing out of those pork chops?

I noticed that one of her "round two" recipes involves her stuffing
potato salad into onions and baking them. Let's hope they turn out more
cooked than the ones she made on Semi-Homade, but that would require me
to watch the video on FN's innavigatible site to see them.

There is at least one brand of ready-made pizza dough at my
supermarket - it's in the pasta aisle. Non-refrigerated.

I meant in raw dough form.

I can get it from any of a number of local (Italian ) bakeries, or from
grocery stores.

Now that I think of it yes, in the refrigerated section in cardboard tubes.

No, they are fully formed flat discs of pizza dough, ready to put
toppings on and bake. I forget the brand - but they've been around
for quite a while.

Yeah, Boboli. That's what I was thinking of. And also those in the
tube, like someone said. You need to get out more, Ubi. Anyway, you
didn't saw "raw." ;-)

What the hell? I don't care what kind of top or bra combo she is
wearing. In the intro she thrusts out a pair that every airline is going
to charge extra for and then when we get to the kitchen? Carry-ons.
Something is off and it isn't just the forehead extension she had as a
result of the last extra tight pull done on her mug.

The pricing is just so incredibly tricky and could not be more
disingenuous if Bill Clinton delivered the cost breakdown while weeping.
Yet another week of vacillating numbers of servings to stretch the
"savings" compare. And then the amount for the chicken dinner, including
her dessert mess. Yeah, a single drumstick and a piece of flatbread and
one eighth of her "nacho" mess. What a meal.

Using the notion that she "grew" the herbs herself is such incredible
bullshit. Don't get me wrong. I grow my own herbs. But only as seasons
allow as many herbs, no matter how much warmth and light you give them
will just not grow all year round. Not to mention that it's not like you
can start a window sill herb garden one night, go to bed and the next
evening you have enough to harvest for dinner.

She never mentioned how much chicken she was buying. No mention of a
value pack was there? Because again, the pricing of her chicken was
actually rather sly. It seems that she actually combined the amount she
was "costing out" for the dinner and then using the same amount of
original chicken in her re-use bit. Again, something is very, very
tricky with the numbers. Maybe a former AIG accountant went to the show
to do the math.

Her forced fake laugh of condescending gaiety as she burbles she bought
the store brand is really annoying. Incredibly annoying. Somehow she
tries to convey excitement at some astounding discovery (which it isn't)
that has never been thought of before and deigning graciousness on her
part for being generous enough to share it with the masses who could
never have figured it out on their own.

Graham Cracker segments. That look exactly like graham cracker segments.
And not really like nachos. Let alone the chips we get from nachos? What
exactly does she think a nacho is that it apparently sheds chips that
are gathered up and put in a bag?

Was that peanut butter sauce peanut butter melted into hot milk? I must
have missed some other ingredient.

She called the chicken and flat bread "decadent", a word she still has
not figured out the meaning of yet. What the hell does Cuomo talk to
this woman about other than admonishments to watch her teeth from
nipping too hard?

I'm not sure how any fruit can be substituted for bananas in that mess
she called dessert. Peaches? I don't think so.

Nice editing with the flat bread by the way. One minute Lee is
stretching the dough out on the supposedly hot grill. Not only is the
dough not reacting to being draped on a hot surface in any way? But Lee
has her one hand resting right on the grill itself. A cast iron grilled
properly heated would have left her hand looking like a professional
piece of bread. And that bread was looking realy odd. Nothing like flat
bread that I've ever seen.

I'm guessing that she meant to make sure to turn the drumsticks so that
they were grilled all over. But she made it sould like you just stood
there and kept turning them over. Which is a bit different. and too
funny when said just a few minutes before Flay gives his one flip speech
about burgers. A bit different food, but still it was typical FN lack of
awareness to have Lee burble pretty much the exact opposite of the
grilling mantra. That is cook one side fully, turn and cook the other
side to equal doneness and stop.

Her pricing for lemon juice just seems insane. I get more than two table
spoons about of a lemon and the most I pay for a lemon is usually .33 a
piece. Right now in D.C., Philly and the Chicago suburb area since the
start of the Memorial Day weekend, lemons have all been cheaper. Locally
once summer starts, I can usually buy them for five to six a dollar.

But then the whole cost thing is just nuts. First the entire show seems
based on nothing but cooking versus buying pre-made for the most part.
Her potato salad, no matter what awesome cost-effective pricing she
gave, had some over runs cost wise. Namely the scallions. I don't care
what they add in taste, ingredient wise they are not cost effective for
someone on a budget. Simply because they don't actually offer much in
the grand scheme of putting the most food on the table. Other onions are
cheaper. Especially when bought in pantry bulk.

It is funny that this woman told us time and again what was in our
pantries (even though it wasn't) and yet she now acts like the only long
term ingredient storage means growing herbs on the windowsill.

Boboli is as much a pizza crust as an english muffin. You can make
fake pizza with it, but it will never be pizza to me. Phooey YUCK

The last time I looked which wasn't very recently, Trader Joe's had
pizza dough in a bag in the refrigerated section. I tried it once...
it was better than frozen pizza, but it wasn't great. Once was enough
for me.

They have frozen pizza dough where I shop ... some brand in the
freezer section, and the house brand over by the bakery. They
keep it in little bags in the cake display. Try asking at the bakery
section.

If Pillbury makes it, it's almost certainly tainted with hydrogenated
fats. I bet the fat cats who run the company, just like tobacco
execs, wouldn't allow that crap in their kitchens.

It's food for the stupid masses.

And we have packaged raw pizza flats in the deli section.

We just watched this weeks . . .

"My brothers are bringing their friends over, and it's up to Aunt Sandy
to put on a big spread for them"

gah!

It's semi-homemade with annoying price mentions and bad music and
they've beaten all the fun out of it. What were they thinking?

We saw one ep, and pulled it from the DVR.
