Yup ... there's another one whose head has swollen with fame. It's oddly tragic to witness simple, well-intentioned individuals progress into egotistical divas over the span of a few years.
Rachel Ray used to do food samples at our local Price Chopper supermarket. She was personable and folks enjoyed her. She even compiled a simple cookbook that one could purchase and have autographed, back then. Now she has taken over the airwaves and even has her own publication. What drives me to frenzy are her expressions "yum-o", "evoo" (which has made it into the dictionary). She even refers to her self as "Rach". How time consuming is it to add an additional syllable?
And what about the doyenne of southern cooking - Paula Deen? I used to love watching Paula and laughed each time she put in that extra pat of butter. Of late, she's overdone it and her sweetness has turned sour.
It's wrong to judge based simply on observations. Perhaps FN has groomed and moulded these women into the personalities they now project.
Any thoughts on Melissa d'Arabian? If she says "I love" one more time, I will slap her pretty face!
Rachel Ray, OTOH, I don't know. There's something creepy about her.
