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.

Pineapple Pizza



The most remarkable thing about this week's Junk Food Friday is that it snowed.  Yup, twice I looked outside and saw a deluge of clicking ice and snow cascading from the gray sky.  I convinced myself (easily) that I had plenty in the house that I could come up with a satisfying pizza to mark the Friday occasion.  I made 2 pizzas.  One traditional sausage, mushroom and pepper; but alas, I needed to create one that had not been done this year to satisfy my challenge of something new everyday.   I had picked up a pineapple that was on special and I had roasted a chicken the night before.  I grabbed a bottle of BBQ sauce that someone had gifted us and put this combination together.  Pizza, wine, binge watching of 'Boardwalk Empire' and a blanket made for a perfect Junk Food Friday!
