i think we've hit the lounge trifecta today

[Starbucks Anarchist]

1. I'd like to dunk her donut.

:hide: :spank:

[fizzgig]

3. ...

:rofl:

[Chan790]

30. Me too...

if by "Dunk Her Donut" you mean drown her in DD's vile swill.

[bicentennial_baby]

2. I was hoping this would go unnoticed by the Lounge...

Yay....the height of suckitude in coffee paired with the height of suckitude in cooking. I weep for America... :puke:

[billyskank]

22. Okay, I have to ask

What is the Rachel Ray thing? She's a TV food person, so much I have gathered. But apart from that, what's the story?

[bicentennial_baby]

24. She's a TV food person, yes.

She has several shows on the Food Network, a daytime talk show, she's on every Triscuit box in the US practically, she has a magazine too. Some people love her, some people hate her. She's very, um, perky, and has all these cutesie names for everything. And, she's all about convenience cooking. That's my summary. But, I will say that she's better than Sandra Lee :D

25. Do you get The Naked Chef?

8. I love that sig line!

Tony Bourdain is one of my heroes.

Have you got his Les Halles Cookbook?

Funny as hell. And good technique.

[GoneOffShore]

7. No

Google Rachel Ray Sucks or I hate Rachel Ray and you'll be amazed by the numbers of right thinking people who find her appalling.

[smtpgirl]

14. Not at all

I did like her at one time, not now & not ever again.

[madinmaryland]

26. Why the hell does she have to be so perky.

:grr:

[Raven]

9. She gives me hives but

her 30 minute meals are ok.

[graywarrior]

10. She reminds me of a lemon filled.

[Gormy Cuss]

[Deja Q]

11. From being cute and energetic... now she's just another corporate whore, just like Ronald McDonald.

:(

I'll never see her cupcakes in the same light ever again... :cry:

[GoneOffShore]

13. You've seen her cupcakes?

Cool!!

[Deja Q]

32. Well, they were still in their wrapping...

:(

[GoneOffShore]

33. oh, I thought you meant

you'd "seen" her cupcakes.

Just the wrapped ones huh?

Was it food wrap or foil?

[AlCzervik]

12. mmm donuts with some "Onion action", can't wait.

21. 'Tis the Season to Hate Rachael

"According to The Boston Globe, Rachael Ray hatred is as much on the rise as the Loud One’s exhausting career.

The Rachael Ray Sucks Community is an outwardly innocuous space on LiveJournal where hate-minded individuals can spew anti-Ray diatribes to their hearts’ content. On any given day, you can find posts such as these:

'Then she made a ‘chowDAH-mac’. ‘I have to call it chowda because I’m a New England girl teeheeheeheeheeheesnort’. I guess this is some vile mixture of crab and corn cowdAHH and macaroni and cheese. She’s calling this ‘Easy Entertaining’. I’m not kidding.'

and

'I just finished watching her 30MM show today on how to cook a Thanksgiving meal in one hour. I caught just the last ten minutes as was absolutely stunned. The so-called pumpkin soup looked like vomit. The apple & brandy ‘gravy’ looked like thickened transmission fluid. The muffins were an abomination…She even dumped the transmission fluid on the ‘microwaved green beans.’ If I was a guest being served this sh*t on Turkey Day, I’d walk out.'

The Globe article reveals that the founder of this big steaming pile of sneer and loathing is Michigan resident Misty Lane (someone, I think, who will never need smack her pet’s name and street name together to determine her porn name). Lane created the site three years ago when she wanted to share her Ray-centered scorn with others.

A cooking enthusiast who enjoyed picking up tips and inspiration from ‘true chefs,’ Lane complained that Ray trafficked in culinary ‘common knowledge.’ And that she kept waving her arms. ‘She just used to drive me crazy,’ Lane says, laughing.

Having written for Television Without Pity for seven hate-filled years, I’m not surprised that hate is a powerful uniting force or that this particular Rachael Ray hate site now has over 1,000 happy members.

Isn’t there some famous quote about how you can measure success by the number of your enemies?"

23. She is annoying, her cooking is not as skilled as others, she

is more of an assembler of foodstuffs. And whats with the 'throw everything in a bowl' to walk two feet from counter to work surface. Not a clever shortcut but a foolish one. I wonder how many segments of her shows were do-overs because she dropped her mile-high pile of ingredients? She may be cute but she is a little old to be so silly. Or maybe she is smart...just imagine the $$$$ she is making.

[steelemagnolia]

31. Gee, I like DD too

....I'm getting sick of RR! Too much of a mediocre thing isn't good!
