Outside of posts here, I missed the original hoopla and only saw the
episode on Youtube last year.

The two hour season premiere of Kitchen Nightmares airs tonight on Fox
at 8:00 Eastern time in the US.

I happened to catch Amy and Samy on Dr. Phil while flipping through
channels the other day. This isn't (seriously!) the type of show I'd
normally watch. As soon as I saw them sitting there I had to watch the
last few minutes. It sure sounds to me like they're still nuts. Very
defensive. Friday night television is usually pretty dull. Maybe not
tonight.

You don't like Hawaii 5-0, Bluebloods, or Grimm?

Nope. I don't even like the original Hawaii 5-0 (and I'm a fiend for
old and classic TV shows). If I'm not reading and posting here on
Friday's I'm either reading a book or maybe watching online videos.

When I remember it is on I do watch the television show Castle. I was
late to the game but it's cute. I don't really watch much of anything
so regularly that I have a weekly television lineup, if you know what I
mean.

Yes, I do know what you mean. I always catch them...but only thanks to a
DVR, before that I hardly remembered when they were on. :-)

If you like Castle, do you like Burn Notice? Of the two, I like Burn
Notice better. One that I came to the party 5-7 years late and don't
think I've seen more than a handful of first run episodes (if that
many) is Psych. It's my kind of silliness.

They just wrapped Psych Too bad, it was fun. I really like Dulé
Hill. I haven't managed to catch Burn Notice, although I've seen ads
for it. I like Perception with Eric McCormack.

Then along comes some of the special series like Planet Earth , Cosmos
and the like and you appreciate that big screen TV. The DVR makes it
easy to watch on my terms.

Planet Earth is great. I haven't seen the new Cosmos. I only catch
these shows occasionally. They aren't listed on the channel guide.
Heck, the *channels* aren't listed on the channel guide.

I have basic cable, no DVR. Since buying a hi-def TV a few years ago, I
discovered I get more channels than the old analog set ever dreamed of.
LOL Sometimes I catch Planet Earth. It's truly spectacular.
Especially when you can see the images with such clarity. Great music,
too.

There are a handful of No TV adherents that boast then never watch the
rubbish that is on. I agree that the networks have a lot of rubudh but
there are some wonderful programs if you take the time to seek them out.
The clarity of a hi-def screen really adds to the viewing experience.

I don't watch the other two, but it doesn't conflict with Grimm.
Tonight's lineup will be Rachael Maddow, Big Bang Theory and Kitchen
Nightmares. I'll record Grimm and watch it later, commercial free
(loving the current story line).

Geez.... I'll hafta see if my mom's TV in her bedroom still works and
the repeater on the mountain-top is still broadcasting. I think it
gets a fuzzy Fox. So, that's 8:00 Eastern .....daylight savings?....

Yes, daylight savings time. Whatever translates to 8:00 PM Eastern in
your time zone.

Well that was a waste of time. It was just a redux of what happened at
Amy's Baking Co. last year with some "unseen footage" and more comments
from Ramsay. He did send someone from the show in to talk with Amy &
Samy with a camera crew. It was the same old everyone is picking on us
and we're going to defend ourselves crap. The second hour is an
unrelated new episode at an Italian restaurant.

OB Food: Sloppy joes for dinner.

LOL!
That's one meal that's a waste of your time going "homemade." Manwich
Bold and Spicy will be better than anything you make. No need to
"reinvent the wheel." Next you'll be mixing up your own homemade Diet
Coke.

It's easy enough to make your own sloppy joes. I browned just over a
pound of ground chuck. I minced some onion, garlic and bell pepper and
cooked it together until the beef was done and the veggies were tender.
Drained off the fat.

Don't you have to do that cook and drain the beef thing when you use a
can of Manwich?

To the drained cooked beef and veggies, I added a 16 oz. can of plain
crushed tomatoes and some water. I did add a scant amount of brown
sugar. I let it simmer on low and let it cook down, stirring
frequently. Gave it a taste. It needed a kick. I gave it a few dashes
of Lousiana hot sauce and stirred in a sprinkling of cayenne pepper.

I served it on a toasted plain old white hamburger bun. The leftover
sloppy joe meat will stretch for a few days. It's very tasty yet simple
fare. And yes, my homemade does beat Manwich, IMHO.

I've never made homemade sloppy Joe's that I liked. Haven't had it in
years. Coincidentally - I had some for lunch today that was home made
(not by me) that didn't thrill me either. I know Manwich used to come
in a package and I preferred that over canned. Didn't like any of the
other brands, just Manwich powdered, but I guess they don't make it
anymore. I have a new sloppy Joe mix to try - the brand is Red Fork.

If it's any good, I'll try some of their other skillet sauces too -
this one looks interesting

No one insists you like sloppy joe's, whether made homemade or not. I
don't make them very often.

Yes, Gordon revamps the menu if needed. Any remodel is on the show's
dime. The one good thing Ramsay had to say about Amy's Baking Co. was
the decor was great, the restaurant and the kitchen were very clean. I
doubt he'd have remodeled anything other than their personalities.
