totally disagree, 99 percent of tv is a waste, nothing to be afraid of if
you can turn it off, if you take one cooking class from a reputable school
you learn all of that science stuff, and experience teaches most of it as
well, tv is for the most part something that should entertain and educate if
you haven't had the oppertunity to learn it from a real source of
education... ymmv

Alton was on at night. Not only did he have great recipes but he
would give you hows and whys of recipes and not just tossing out
ingredients and throw the concoction into the oven. And if you'd be
willing to watch a few cooking shows you'd have a lot of your cooking
questions answered. Tv is not the boogey man you imagine if you are
selective in what you watch and that goes for monitoring what children
watch as well. Some, not all, of the cooking shows can be quite
informative, much more so than 99% of those 'judge' shows you watch.
Most of them are in the Jerry Springer category.

Most tv cooks will just tell you they've been preparing such and such
recipe for years and it's a family favorite. Alton would tell you how
oil reacts at different temperatures, why some small appliances are
better than others, what a brine to does to meat, what an egg does for
a recipe, and many, many, many more things. You get an understanding
of why you get the results from a certain dish if you do this instead
of that, etc. And he makes it all very entertaining.

And.....I completely agree with you! TV has never been a big part of my
life, as would much rather read, be on my computer, or just spending
time with my family and friends. When I do have some time to just sit
and be a couch potato <G> then I want to watch something that will
entertain me....a "no-brainer" show, that will make me smile and feel
good, such as I particularly enjoy "Glee", "Drop Dead Diva", "Project
Runway", etc. I don't turn on TV to get an education. I feel anyway,
that experience is the best teacher there is. There is good shows on the
various channels, but there is a lot of crappy stuff too.

I started cooking/baking when I was 9 years old and joined a 4-H Club,
and belonged for 4 years, so I got my basic knowledge there, and through
several years of taking Home Economics in school, but most of what I got
was hand's on from a fantastic cook and baker....my dear mother. I also
have been an avid cookbook collector all my life and hubby built 5 long
shelves in our storage room for them, and they are completely filled. I
read them, as one would a bible.

I have won several blue ribbons in local baking contests, and I'm going
to be 71 years old next month, so I'm not a novice in the kitchen, but I
don't boost certainly that I know it all.

how cool for you, i am not anti tv just don't see the point when there is so
much else to do in the world, and the concept of paying over fifty dollars a
month to have all those channels is boggling to me...fifty dollars will buy
a lot of things that interest me more. Lees

All this experience and blue ribbons and you don't know why your
cookies crumble?? Tsk, tsk. Sounds like a lot of smoke and mirrors
to me.

You really must be a very sarcastic person, as I only found the cooking
group just this week, and have noticed most of your posts are of a
"snippy" nature. Do you ever offer advice without putting the person
down in negative manner? Just asking! <shrug>

FYI winning blue ribbons has nothing to do with asking for a T&T
chocolate chip cookie that is chewy in texture, instead of hard and
crisp, or light and fragile. I never said my cookies crumbled. I won a
blue ribbon on my filled mincemeat cookies and also my fresh orange
frosted cookies. I have been baking cookies since I was in grade school
with great results, but for some reason the last few times I made CC
Cookies I was disappointed because they didn't seem to be the exact
texture I wanted them to be, but I know that many products have changed
their ingredients too, as Crisco is a lot "greasier" feeling on my hands
as I remembered it to be, and I've had better results with certain
brands of butter than others also, which makes a big difference in any
type of baking.

Thanks, Cheri.....for a minute I almost forgot what group I was in and
thought I was in the A. I. group! =:-}

I was tickled to find this group, as cooking 'n' baking have always been
my most favorite pastime, and enjoy talking to other happy cookers!

this is an excellent group, and there are a LOT of nice people here, you
will eventually over time, as you have already noticed with some posters,
find a pattern of posting, this is a very valuable tool due to th e volume
of postings, simply use the kf button when someone gets to annoying/vulgar
or disgusting, keeps the experience cleaner and more on topic,

although i must admit in the interest of full disclosure, there a few i
don't block because they are simply to silly and entertaining to block.. Lee

i find it fascinating that when someone disagrees with your opinion, and
thats all it is, that you immediately resort to vulgarity as in your
response to me, or personal attacks as in this response to judy, in case you
hadn't noticed, this group is to voice opinions and discus specific problems
about specific cooking situations, i am sorry this is stressing you to the
point of attack, for someone so sure of your opinions it might be nice if
you at least restrained yourself from vulgarity and personal attacks as you
know neither one of us or what our lives are about... and if you respond
that you have read enough to make inferences... i could then do so but mine
about you would be almost as rude as what you have just posted and you/your
opinions aren't worth lowering myself to that level,

Storrmee's posts don't correctly show attributions, and it wasn't her
that posted what you quoted. I understand the mistake though. I often
slip right past Lee's top posted message, and while I like reading her,
it's too much trouble to scroll back up most of the time.

It would help if her news reader quoted correctly.

Your statements already prove you don't watch to tv to even know
what's offered. Your comments are meaningless until you can comment
with some authority. Being a Disney fan doesn't qualify.

This is simply not true. People take YEARS to acquire that kind of
knowledge, and some of the people on the forefront (e.g. Harold McGee and
Shirley Corriher) are still experimenting and learning after thirty years.

True, true. Shirley is sharp as a tack and I love it when she makes
appearances on Alton's show. But people tend to miss out on these
little gems when Disney and American Idol are their normal tv fare.

and your attching yourself to bob's post doesn't reduce your vulgarity or
attempts to improve your status in your own eyes... just because he
responded with a civilized disagreement to me, in no way validates you, your
opinion or your rude manner of posting, Lee

True, true. Shirley is sharp as a tack and I love it when she makes
appearances on Alton's show. But people tend to miss out on these
little gems when Disney and American Idol are their normal tv fare.

I think you're better suited for the British group - where they take
offense when none is intended.

I was responding to Bob's post and not to you nitwit. Notice I
responded as is appreciated and not a top poster as yourself. If
you'd learn to read and then respond in a proper manner then these
squirrely posts you are making would make sense.

This post has gone too far downhill but I'll climb in anyway. Just what
Superior Authority decided that posts MUST BE bottom posted? For whose
convenience? Beats me. I really don't need to wade through every line
since Genesis again and again et boredom to see what anyone else would like
to contribute.
If we've read what comes before, why not simply reply? No need to copy.
No need to carry forward. Might have been necessary when we were running
our computers on kerosene.
It makes my old heart happy that Lee can participate without being able
to see. I object to the notion that bottom posting is preferred. By whom
and why? No more bottom posting from here. Enough! Polly

now we sink to the last refuge of one who has no valid point, thereby
proving that either you haven't read here enough to know this is a well
travelled road, or you are so lacking in logic and valid arguement, you are
trying that time honored trick of changing the arguement, thinking you will
get other posters to defend you, anyone who has read my posts and some of
this discussion would know i don't discuss it anymore, sorry try again, Lee

what is hillarious is that dh and find disney the most pallateable, sp of
all tv fare, cooking shows are somewha t down the list, the fact that
someone who has such a high opinion of herself wants to throw insults cracks
me up, you would think someone so very important would have better things to
do like say stalking judy and tracking where/when she posts, Lee

I'd probably take off your ear or put out your eye if I did that, so I'll
pass.

i was referring to what one could learn on tv, knowing a process is vastly
different from developing skills from knowing about it, i am sure one simple
class doesn't make one an expert on any particular skill set, cooking or
not, but to claim that veiwing a tv show does the same is really silly, and
that was my point, i didn't mean to infer that years ow work and practice
was discounted, as you know, i can tell from the recipes you post,
experience in general and experimintation, are the only way to improve
skills,

I hope tha t makes sense,

Lee
