Television Feasts

I am a home cook who backyard gardens and has a serious closet addiction to the Food Network. I envision visiting the world in my own kitchen.

From Julia to Giada, I am a bi-product of the quirky world of anything food television. At age 10 I wanted to lunch with Julia; at 12 I thought sitting at Graham Kerr's table would be bliss; in college I was a diligent voyeur student of Jeff Smith's; and as a newlywed I envisioned myself being Martha. Then the sky opened up and violin music played in the background when I discovered an entire family of food shows on the blossoming food network. Twenty years later I am still a home chef with a backyard garden, yet in my head I am a trained chef who has eaten her way around the world, tasted all things exotic, competed in many challenges, judged the best of the best, and have a circle of friends which includes Emeril, Bobby, Rachael and more. I like to learn and challenge myself simply for the pleasure of all things food. I am a student of the University of Food Network and my textbooks, exams and extra-curricular activities all stem from channel 39.

Brisket Sandwich

Today is suppose to be the calm before the storm.  The deep freeze starts tomorrow. I considered putting all of the Christmas decorations away; but, alas, I finally admitted I just wanted to have a lazy day.  We had plenty of leftovers from yesterday's dinner party.  I took the easy way out, and reconfigured them.  I put a twist on simply reheating and made BBQ sandwiches.

I chopped up some of the brisket.

Topped it with some of the (really good) sauce, and heated it in the microwave....I told you a lazy day :)

And, wallah! Nice crusty roll, spicy BBQ, topped with creamy coleslaw.  Living in Pittsburgh I am used to the coleslaw idea on a sandwich...I should have added some french fries!  I served with a green salad.  Perfect Sunday Supper and finish to a lazy day.
