  1. From the Food Network web site:

    Picnic
    Sandra will show us that packing a picnic lunch
    is no sweat. In the kitchen it's her grandma's
    Fried Chicken and Deviled Eggs, Apple Slaw and
    Eggy potato Salad. And last - it's her Cherry
    Almond Crumble and Peanut Butter Fudge Cups for
    dessert.

    This ep is best-known for SLop making potato salad with canned potatoes
    (and telling us to save the "juice" in the can to make gravy), telling
    us that the best fried chicken in the world is made with flour and salt
    and confiding that she used to spend mornings with her friend getting
    plastered on the lawn in front of her college with no one the wiser.

    This is the only picnic where you'll be praying for ants and/or rain!

    Unless they crash already sealed in plastic bags, or she can use a can
    opener to cut open the fusilage, she wouldn't know what to do with them.

    <it'd be a GREAT tablescape though, wouldn't it!>

    My area has only recently added the Food Network, so I don't have much
    history with the shows. But, I haven't found anything of use from this
    show. The only thing that comes close, for me, are some of the drinks.
    But, they aren't enough for me to endure SL.

    I have to admit to doing a lot of "semi-homemade" cooking, but the kinds
    of things she does are just awful most of the time. boo, hiss.

  7. It was only after reading all of the posts in this thread
    that I realized you guys were talking about Sandra LEE,
    not famed actress Sandra DEE. I thought it was great
    she'd have a TV show, even if she wasn't a good cook.
    Turns out a Sandra Dee cooking show isn't in the cards:

    Don't forget that some people eat to live and others live to eat.
    Denizens of RFC are in the latter category.

    Apparently I haven't watched her show as much as her detractors, but
    what I've seen was fine by me. Maybe not everything appealed, but I
    can't name one cooking show where EVERYTHING appeals to me.

    When you consider the huge segment of the population whose version of
    cooking is take out or fast food, at least she's trying to get them
    into the kitchen. If she succeeds, then they can turn to other
    cooking shows for more complicated preparations of food.

    I just saw a hawaiian luau episode I'd never seen before. It sure was
    helpful getting step by step instructions on how to make Rice A Roni.

    When you say she wasn't a good cook, you could be talking about either
    one.

    I saw that show yesterday!! I kept waiting for the secret ingredient
    that was going to make the fried chicken... interesting? There was
    NOTHING in it to make it remarkable. It appeared to be bland boring
    food. Odd.

    But the best fried chicken *is* made with flour and salt. OK, some pepper
    too! But with top quality ingredients and proper cooking this simplest of
    recipes will be terrific. Additions may be tasty but should be unnecessary.

    Yep, I guess 1390mg of sodium per box isn't enough.

    Yes, but at least there is an excellent reason why Sandra Dee can't
    cook and isn't going to get any better over time. What's Sandra Lee's
    reason for not getting better over time? I think any of the candidates
    they have on that next Food Network cooking show contest would be
    better than Sandra Lee.

    A few days ago SLop was making lasagna. She was laying down a layer of
    goaat cheese and then told us how her sister uses a variation where you use
    ricotta cheese insetad. Jesus Christ woman, that's the way it's done, not a
    variation!!!

    Today she said she uses apple juice instead of water in her pancake mix.

    Oh dude, wait until you see today's new ep: Cajun food
    http://www.foodnetwork.com/food/show_sh/episode/0,1976,FOOD_14521_38836,00.html

    Allegedly, she makes crab cake po’ boys (with cornbread mix and capers),
    blackened Cajun Catfish with some dirty rice (with Rice-A-Roni and JimmyDean
    sage sausage ™),and a little Louisiana mud pie.

    Actually, if you want to make the one true lasagne, leave the ricotta
    and mozarella at the store. The real thing is made with Bolognese
    sauce and a Bechamel with lots of parmagiano-reggiano.

    I bet she substitutes New York City mud (or where ever Food Network tapes
    this stuff).
