That’s not as bad as “expresso”. That drives me insane!
Dear Jillian,
Thank you for pointing that out. It’s annoyed the SHIT out of me since the first time I heard her say it.
Love,
Alex
what about when she pronounces “vinaigrette” as “vinegar-ette? It drives me nuts.
heehee. ’round my house, we call the microwave “the reheaterator.”
I imagine that it’s difficult to get all the syllables out through that vodka haze… (hic)
Maybe she shortened the word to decrease her chance of slurring?
Just more evidence that this ditz must give all world head to have a television program run for as long as it has.
I’m from a Polish, NE Ohio family. Everyone says “friger-ator” up here. What’s Sandra Lee’s background/roots?? Also, the hardware store Lowe’s??? We say it “Lolwes”. Extra “L” for style. ha
JillS, I think she’s a pod person.
Cripe, even if she said “fridge” I’d be ok. Imbecile.
While it’s true that Semi-Ho mispronounces many words, I usually cut her some slack because there tend to be regional nuances that are reflected in grammar, pronunciation, usage, and vocabulary.
I’m most bothered by Sandra Lee’s pronunciation of “berry” as in blackberry, raspberry, etc. It ends up sounding like “burry” – rhyming with blurry, curry, furry, jury, etc. instead of carry, ferry/fairy, hairy, Jerry, etc. Can someone please enlighten me if this is a regional pronunciation, or does it just hurt my ears? :)
Being from Wisconsin, I can guarantee you we don’t say “burry” we say, “bear-y”. And again, being from Wisconsin, I can also recognize a good vodka induced slur like most people can recognize an old friend…and that is booze talking!
And I love espresso with milk from the refrigerator. Or fridge if I’m being lazy. But…I do say vinegar-ette…so that may be regional.
Vinegar-ette makes me homicidal.
Emeril calls it the ” ICE BOX ” and then says ” you know, the refridgerator!” Just like Ray-Ray saying EVOO, ExtraVirginOliveOil.
The ” Guy ” here calls it his treasure chest!
“Vinegarette” is her worst offence as far as I’m concerned. “Frigerator” is runnig a close second.
What a silly old drunk…
Poor Sandra, her dog Aspen died today! :(
“If you cook with love and affection you will create MAGIC in your kitchen.”
this bitch is crazy man.
I just heard her say this as I was watching her “”"Money Saving Meals”"” (Heavy quotations, because that show is 1 big piece of crap – just like the “”"FOOD”"” that she serves)
I have just two words: Mars Capone.
@A: isn’t Alex Guarnaschelli the person who says that?
@Cari: “I have just two words: Mars Capone.”
Is Mars related to Al? :-)
Another thing that drives me crazy.
Allow me to jump in here with my all time pet peeve mispronunciation of Aunt Sandy’s…it’s FANtastic….not…FINtastic !!!
Sounds like fridguratur to me. She frequently slops the language down with the “uh” sound – frush, vinigurette . . .
I think Emeril is the worst – he sounds like Yogi Berra at times. Funny, since he is sophisticated and educated. Must be a R.I. thing?
I still think “russapee” is the pinnacle of all that is Sandiferous.
English is a third language for San-ja-rah.
Judging from that picture, I know what Can’t Standy could use for Kruuustmas: A push-up bra. Are those pendulums or breasts?
I vote for “marscapone” as the worst, too. Nails on a chalkboard.
CURRENT FAVORITE DRUNKEN SANDRA LEE MISPRONUNCIATION: [Actual Quote During Cocktail Time] “Try saying that five times fast after you’ve had a corrrrcghktail!”
for emeril, yes it is a R.I. thing…
im from there. its a very highly boston-like accent…
Omg her and Paula Deen’s pronunciations both make me want to scratch my eyes out.
“English is a third language for San-ja-rah.”
Aunt Sandy is fluent in Drunkish and Slutch.
SandraLeeism: #517 “EXXXXXspresso”
One word, “melk”. Ok, two. “Pellow”.
“perfection”
Can I tell ya?
@Fobby: I was just thinking of “melk.” I’m glad you brought it up.
I don’t watch Semi-Ho, but I cringe when Bobby Flay pronounces chipotle “chip-oat-a-lay.” Shouldn’t it be “chip-oat-lay?” I wouldn’t doubt that I may be wrong, but I’m not being paid by the Chipotle Growers of America to use chipotles in every dish I make.
chee-poat-lay
SO DALICIOUS!
I put my day old semi-hoe made expresso in my frigerator.
what a food fraud.
I defy anyone to defend her like so many did during expresso-gate here a few weeks back.
Well, at least she doesn’t see a need to autograph her frigerator like her fellow ass klown, Ferry.
I wish someone would pose that question to him.
“Mr. Ferry why did you sign your own refrigerator ?”
Please tell the readers of FNH .
I would really like to see a phoenetic transcript of one her shows.
Tonight I heard Kevin Brauch on Iron Chef America (the ep. with Paul Virant and Morimoto) say vinegarette…
@Russian Blockhead – times like this i’m glad we don’t have miss lee up her in canada.
I’d loose it if i heard vinegar – ette.
*barfs on keyboard*
She may be crazy, but I think she’s cute. After a couple of her cocktails, she’s definitely do-able. My only fear, is that when you pull down her pants… you’ll see what she modeled her baked potato ice-cream from!
I can’t believe nobody has said this yet… FIN-TASTIC. I want to slap the crap out of her every single time she says it (which is A LOT!). FANtastic you drunk twit. I don’t give a crap where you’re from.
