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.

Junk Food Friday

This week Junk Food Friday was truly a Junk Food Friday.  Our schedules weren't in sync as far as a known dinner time.  Being a true girl from the Pittsburgh area, I went over the bridge into hell for Junk Food Friday   Primanti Brothers screamed my name (if you are not from Pittsburgh, or from anywhere for that matter, and don't know about the piled high sandwiches famous because of their fries and slaw right on the bread along with the meat and cheese of choice, and lettuce and tomato, your have not lived, nor do you know what the term junk food actually means!).  There are many other parts of the country that tout similar creations; but, a true fries and slaw sandwich is from the Steel City!  And, although they are good from my satellite restaurant in my home town, none can compare to the original hub in the Strip District in Pittsburgh.  Ah, but I digress.  Yup, I did not cook.  Yes, I drowned in unhealthy, satanically delicious bliss on Friday night.  I don't succumb too often, but, a craving is a craving; and convenience is even better.  Besides, we got ourselves addicted to binge watching past seasons of Boardwalk Empire.....Fridays, gotta love them!
