Semi-Homemade with Sandra Lee: Picnic of Doom
From the Food Network web site:
Picnic Sandra will show us that packing a picnic lunch is no sweat. In the kitchen it's her grandma's Fried Chicken and Deviled Eggs, Apple Slaw and Eggy potato Salad. And last - it's her Cherry Almond Crumble and Peanut Butter Fudge Cups for dessert. This ep is best-known for SLop making potato salad with canned potatoes (and telling us to save the "juice" in the can to make gravy), telling us that the best fried chicken in the world is made with flour and salt and confiding that she used to spend mornings with her friend getting plastered on the lawn in front of her college with no one the wiser. This is the only picnic where you'll be praying for ants and/or rain! -- WARNING!!! Use of these recipes may be hazardous to your health, food budget, standing in your community and liver function. Use at your own risk!! We assume no liability from any illness or injury sustained while eating the "food" or being exposed to crapass tablescapes. And no, we're not sure where she grew up either. The Cordon Bleu disavows any knowlege of Miss Lee. |
Wow, are they still making new episodes of this "show"? Ater all of this
time you have to wonder if she's running out of ideas. -- Ryan |

Unless they crash already sealed in plastic bags, or she can use a can opener to cut open the fusilage, she wouldn't know what to do with them. <it'd be a GREAT tablescape though, wouldn't it!> |

I have to admit to doing a lot of "semi-homemade" cooking, but the kinds of things she does are just awful most of the time. boo, hiss. Elaine |

It was only after reading all of the posts in this thread
that I realized you guys were talking about Sandra LEE, not famed actress Sandra DEE. I thought it was great she'd have a TV show, even if she wasn't a good cook. Turns out a Sandra Dee cooking show isn't in the cards: http://www.cnn.com/2005/SHOWBIZ/Movies/02/20/dee.obit/ |

Denizens of RFC are in the latter category. Apparently I haven't watched her show as much as her detractors, but what I've seen was fine by me. Maybe not everything appealed, but I can't name one cooking show where EVERYTHING appeals to me. When you consider the huge segment of the population whose version of cooking is take out or fast food, at least she's trying to get them into the kitchen. If she succeeds, then they can turn to other cooking shows for more complicated preparations of food. |

The only ones I have ever seen are whole and have been peeled and cooked (probably in the can as part of the canning process) and are about the size of a do-nut hole. Why? I don't know. I tried them several times. They were always too firm and tasted "canned". I've never found a good use for them. I haven't ever tried them on kabobs. They would probably hold together and basting and grilling might make them edible. Elaine, too |

If you like whole potatoes with shishkebab, this is the only way you can cook potatoes with the rest of the veggies. Interestingly, canned potatoes are actually "redeemed" when barbecued with the rest of the veggies. You can barely tell the difference, esp. if the marinade's "noisy."

It was a great favorite with the congregation and you had to make your reservations early, in order to be certain of a place for that event. There would be a salad for appetizer, then very good roasted chicken, catered by a local "chicken place", carrots and peas and the most delicious tiny potatoes. They were baked to a golden brown, crispy crunchy on the outside and of a nice consistency on the inside. The sisterhood members who were in charge of the kitchen would always make twice as many of these potatoes as they seemed to need, as there were so many requests for second helpings of them. For dessert there would be a buffet of different cakes and cookies and fruit. When I asked for the potato recipe, I was told that they were canned potatoes, drained and washed, then dried and sprayed with a small amount of cooking oil. Then they were dredged with a mixture of flour and spices and baked in a hot oven. I tried it at home, but I was never able to duplicate the taste and crunchiness. :o( |

Whole chicken in a can? Is that for real, too? (Boy, I've got it good.)

Not quite, but she does make the claim that you can make Mud Pie with ANY flavour(s) of ice cream you want!

I could quote, but the topic says it all: you cook, well, not really
cook, you assemble, that's what her show is all about; she doesn't know how to cook, she assembles stuff from store bought ingredients. Plus, she is just such an idiot!! Her concept, could have been made into a bona-fide really good FNTV show, but, she screwed it up. Her food and recipe choices shows that she is just such an idiot. Salt-laden, use of packages of seasonings, very seldom uses fresh ingredients, she is the queen of the use of over-processed food, with stuff in in, if you read the ingredient lables, that you don't want in your body. Sandra Lee and Her HOmemade Schtick!! -- Beware, and Avoid, for you and your own familys health!! |

It is about getting credit for appearing to know how to cook. Apparently, the credit is more important than the food. |
