I'm really impressed with the fact that everything she needs, no matter what
she is making, is always in that small cabinet. She should write a book on
organizing your kitchen!

Do you people ever sit back and think for a moment about what it means that
you spend so much time obsessing about TV cooks?

Couldn't care less about Rachael Ray (watch somebody turn THAT into
political hay) but I love that stove of hers. I want one just like it.

She has an annoyng, artificial stage laugh, but I do enjoy looking at
her. Which is to say: No.

I'm sure we'll find other things we can agree about, though. Do you

I love her microwave. Wouldn't have it in my kitchen
because it's so big, but I like the style.

really artificial?

She does it all in one trip. She could be a pack mule with all those
dishes and bottles and boxes she carries back to the prep area. That
said, I do the same thing (hate making extra trips). And Rachael Ray
can cook in my kitchen anytime.

Your "tone" isn't 'zackly buttery either.

But to answer your question.

She's "on" because she created a signature style which became popular in part
because it was different from the norm, agreeable to a good portion of the
audience, and because she still sells.

Oh yeah, and a lot of what you're seeing is reruns, HTH too.

Other than branching out from her original format (30 minute meals I think, I
don't follow her) she's also stuck with the "don't mess with a proven formula"
monkey. Change too much and you lose your core audience, be you a writer,
celebrity, whatever, that's universally true.

Riding the tiger.

Lastly, a fair number of her audience either cannot or won't get out of the
house and get a girlfriend so the fact that she's cute in a girl-next-door
sorta way doesn't hurt her appeal.

Put another way, I'd rather eat a meal prepared by Alice Waters and f--k Rachel
Ray than vice-versa. If I was to be in the market for f--king, which I'm not
since I love my wife.

I suspect I'd enjoy Alice Waters conversation more though.

Cooked on one when I was a kid, Mom had a white porcelain on cast iron
Chambers with the hot well, the warming oven and the broiler/grill. when
she went to the nursing home we sold it to a dealer in Houston, TX for
about $1500.00. I think Mom paid less than $200 for it in 1949 and her
older sister had one that was fire engine red that I remember too.
Excellent, sturdy stoves, even had a clock and a light on them.

As long as it's yellow...the one in the picture was a bit "jaune caca
d'oie" (goose shit yellow), a favourite colour, as Jacques Brel put it,
of the patronizing ladies' charitable clothing donations to the
desperate poor...no connection to the stove, just to the expression.

Noises of happiness that appear uncaused by the circumstances.
Forced. Canned. Synthetic. Affected. Reminding one of situations
that involve cocktails with the boss. Unpleasantly unrealistic.
Redolent of an out-take from a John Candy movie. Free of
authenticity. Given to contextually inappropriate expressions of
mirth. Risibility with no clear reason. Ejaculations of joy in the
face of an ordinary omelette. Chuckling excessively over the meal's
tab. Smacking of obsequious attempts at ingratiation. You know,
artificial.

But she really looks good in jeans and a tee shirt. Really.
