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.

Road Block

I considered this week when I proposed my challenge in January.  I wasn't quite sure how I would get around this road block. I mentioned the other day that this is my busiest work week of the year. I am not sure how to creatively tie new food into my day.  I did finish my pasta sauce, but I used that yesterday. So hmmm, I have Thursday to make up. Then I will be away from my kitchen until Monday night. So by my count I will have 5 make-ups on Tuesday. Geesh, I knew this week was coming, but this is the first time I have some doubt that I can manage 365. However, I love a good challenge...so don't count me out yet!
