The food network has become the station where the hosts and chefs look, well, good enough to eat.
At the Food Network, E.V.O.O. means extra-virgin olive oil. But theres also a bit of T&A on hand and that definitely does not stand for tomatoes and apples.
The Food network has a subscriber base of 88 million, a group that has blossomed in its 13 years from 6.5 million members in 1993.
Much of the success can be attributed to Emeril Lagasse, who strapped the fledgling food tv network to his back and carried it through the nineties.
But a new savior has arrived and frankly one that quite a bit easier on the eyes. If I may steal a phrase from the food diva, she's Yum-O!.
With four – count 'em hour - shows on the Food Network, including "30-Minute Meals," in which she puts together meals in under 30 minutes silly, and "$40 a Day," in which she dines while traveling on a budget - two best selling cookbooks out this year, a new magazine - Rachael Ray knows how to heat up things up in and out of the kitchen!
Ray is a 37-year-old wholesome hottie who has taken the Baton from Lagasse to become the face - and body - of the Food Network.
Ray is author of 11 books and namesake of a new magazine. She has also posed in skimpy shorts for a little FHM "action".
She's also the first foodie expert to do a talk show, which is set to air next fall. The show will focus on "taking a bigger bite out of life."
Are you here?
I started the thread, so yes, I am. ;o) Thanksforasking.
4:30. Giada's on now.
And I am sure she looks delicious as well.
smarty pants.
Chanticleer is the one who introduced me to Rachael Ray. I'm not a cook so I don't keep up on such things.
Yup.
I've been thinking of starting too. I have three little boys, and could use the stress relief.
How much do you think a beginner should start with? a mile? two? I don't want to have a heart attack!

Who is this Chanticleer gal anyway? She kinda sprung up like Maximus did.
I don't like cooking either, but when you put it that way, ken... .
Good thing you'll be cleaning his fish for him. Its good practice. ;o)
Maximus just sprung up? I thought he owned the place!
(just kidding Jim)
Listen...living for years in a house with 4 females...aside from learning to always pick up the toliet seats..LOL..it is TRUE that women living in close proximity do tend to synchronize their cycles...there were 4 days each month when I just basically hid out...
Max just laid low for a while, scamming for the right chicks.
LOL! Poor guy. I live in a house with 4 men, okay well one man and three boys. I have learned to live with cleaning pee off the bathroom floor every day!
Oh, Sorry, cleaning fish aint in my "job" description.
:o)
Is he hiding out,really? That must be hard to do, since he enjoys the show, and loves herding just as much as pissant.
I thought he was a poofer.
Please tell....what does pissant love herding?
