SPECIAL EVENT: Live-Blogging Food Network Today From 12-3
Published on: January 7, 2010 – 11:36 am by Jillian Madison 
Comment
I’ve been getting dozens and dozens of e-mails from miserable Cablevision customers who have been going into Food Network withdrawal since Scripps took the channel off the air on January 1st. To help ease the pain of a life without Sandra Lee, I will live-blog Food Network programming from 12-3 pm EST. There are some good episodes coming up, too. Paula Deen will be showing us how to raise our cholesterol while pinching pennies, and Sandra Lee will be making her unique No-Bake Daffodil Cake.
12:00: Paula Deen just stated she was “real real tight.” I’m not sure if she was talking about her pocketbook, or her ass. This episode could get weird, y’all.
12:02: Paula just referred to tilapia as a “strong fish.” Another term that would be accurate: “fish that tastes like corrugated cardboard.”
12:06: Paula really loves her cast iron pans. You can tell because she giggles whenever she mentions them.
12:09: Here’s the blackened tilapia. It’s sort of making me nauseous.
12:15: Paula just stated there was something “BREATHTAKING” going on her back yard, and then cut to a commercial. Um, if it involves Captain Michael sunbathing in a Speedo, I don’t want to know.
12:21: Thank God. No Speedos anywhere. Just some really high ocean tides in Paula’s back yard. How riveting.
12:25 The rice pudding hath been dusted with cinnamon and nutmeg. Paula’s going in for a taste. She’s closing her eyes and grunting. I think she likes it but I can’t be sure. She exhibited the same behavior the time she narrowly missed stepping in dog shit when Kathy Griffin was visiting her house.
12:30: That’s it for Paula! Next up, Everyday Italian. On today’s episode, Giada’s paying tribute to the Italian ladies in her family by making them realize she’s much more attractive than they are. Ooh, AUNT RAFFI IS HERE. And for some reason, this episode looks like it was filmed in 1997.
12:35: It’s always really awkward when these 2 get in the kitchen together, and this episode is no exception. Giada is just standing around chopping stuff and making this face a lot:
12:40: It’s a miracle. Neither Giada’s nor Raffi’s boobs are visible. This MUST be an old episode.
12:45: BREAKING NEWS — Vegetables taste better if you season them. Thank you, Giada!
12:50: Raffi’s gone and Giada’s making Cheese Crostini with Anchovy Herb Butter on her own. She’s explaining more than I care to know about how anchovies are stored and packaged. Oh, and there it is. The obligatory close-up of her nails digging into a clove of garlic.
12:55: Aaaaand, cue the porn music. Giada’s grating the PROV-UHH-LONN-EEIGHHH cheese.
Also, is it just me, or are you sick of seeing commercials for The Best Thing I Ever Ate? Dear Food Network, I don’t need to see macro shots of Duff Goldman shoving food in his mouth every 5 seconds.
12:58: Giada’s awkwardly grinning a lot, and drinking Espresso Zabaglione with her mother and Aunt Raffi. Aaaand, roll credits. Holy shit, the episode was from 2004. No wonder there were no boob shots. The Food Network wasn’t ready for serious boobage back then.
1:00: Hello, Rachael Ray! What 30 minute crap will you be making for us today? Oh, a green food that will make my friends “green with envy” when they taste it? God, Rach. You’re so clever.
1:04: Rachael’s making Green with Envy Orecchiette and Red Wine Braised Sausages. It is as hideous as it sounds.
1:10: Rachael keeps talking about how “delicious” her wine-infused sausages are. I think she’s trying to convince herself more than us. Frankly, they look like bloated dog ticks.
1:15: What the hell is Rachael wearing around her neck? It looks like a diseased chicken foot.
1:17: Einsten forgot to add the garlic to her pesto. You’re fired, Rachael.
1:20: I must say, she’s busting out all her obnoxious words today. “Spoonula”, “garbage bowl”, “EVOO”, and “sammies” all got mentions.
1:26: Rachael’s spinach is wilting in the pan. Sort of like my soul while watching this awful episode.
1:28: Yeah, Rach, I’m sure this meal will be the “talk of the town.” It’s sort of hard to forget explosive diarrhea. Here’s the final product. Yelch. How nasty do these look.
1:30: Oh dear God. Ina’s jazzy piano intro is music to my ears. Save me from that sausage fest, Ina.
Oh, she’s cooking FRENCH FOOD on this episode. What a shocker. I bet the volume will be turned way up.
1:32: Stop the presses, Ina’s actually IN FRANCE, walking through a street market. She said she’ll be having friends over for cocktails later. Fifty bucks says they all have penises and are named “Steven.”
1:35: Ina’s still shopping. She’s throwing around all sorts of authentic French words, like “bonjour” and “au revoir.”
1:38: “Pick good anchovies. Bad anchovies can be really bad.” Well said, Ina. Well said.
1:46: She’s back in East Hampton, and she’s topping crusty bread with GOOD sliced salmon for her friend Anna. Eat your heart out, Jennifer Garner.
1:53: Guess what, guys? You can make your own croutons, as long as you use “REALLY GOOD BREAD.” Come on, Ina. I think it’s time for a new buzz word.
1:55: Oh Ina, I’m disappointed in you. What sort of host would go to the kitchen and leave poor old Anna alone to read a magazine and nibble on an imported piece of French bread by her lonesome?
1:58: Ina’s meeting Jeffrey for a picnic, and apparently, she’s using my grandmother’s favorite beach hat as a picnic basket.
2:00: And now, it’s time for Semi-Homemade with Sandra Lee. Au revoir, Ina. We’ll always have Paris. And your tacky oversized black shirts.
2:02: Holy shit. Sandra Lee is wearing a yellow jacket, and is riding around in a yellow car that’s being driven by a man WHO LOOKS REALLY PISSED OFF. This. Is. Hilarious.
Apparently, she’s back “in her hometown” for something called the Daffodil Parade. I have no idea what that is. Thank god she brought in SEVEN MILLION DAFFODILS to drive the point home, though.
2:05: “Daffodils make me smile more than anything else. Well, other than my nephews.” And vodka, of course. Can’t forget vodka.
Sandra’s making Lemon Swordfish Brochettes. That’s French, for “vomit inducing.”
2:10: They’re in SEATTLE filming this! That’s not her hometown! She’s from Wisconsin! Liar liar pants on fire, Sandra Lee.
2:15: “This is a fiinnn-tastic menu, and it’s super super simple.” God, I miss laughing at Semi-Homemade. Money Saving Meals is the worst show ever.
2:17: Sandra’s adding lime-aid concentrate to olive oil and couscous. Could you not just vomit in your mouth?
2:20: It’s almost time for the no bake daffodil cake! That, of course, is just a store bought cake, with cookies and various other crap stuck onto it.
For those of you out there who’d like to make a No-Bake Daffodil Cake, here are the step by step directions:
2:27: It’s cocktail time! Today, she’s making a Daffodil Driver. It’s got apricot brandy, orange liqueur, apricot nectar, and peach vodka. Blend over ice, sip, gag, and repeat as necessary.
2:29: Sandra’s not messing around today. Her tablescape IS A BAR. Literally. It’s just a table, covered with dozens of her nasty “daffodil driver” cocktails. And she keeps saying “daffodillian.” Is that even a word? Can I get an official ruling? Oh Sandra. You never disappoint.
2:30: I hear annoying guitar strings and drum beats. That can only mean one thing: time for an ancient episode of Boy Meets Grill (from 2005) with Bobby Flay. He’s making breakfast sandwiches, which somehow reminds me… hey Bobby, how many wives have you had?
And with that, this live blog will be coming to an end. I simply can’t bring myself to watch Bobby Flay, so I’m signing off a few minutes early. I hope I was able to ease the pain for you Cablevision customers. I had fun watching Food Network with the rest of you funny FNH commenters! If only we could do this live — with video — mystery science theater style, it would be hilarious.
Until next time!

THIS WEEK: Ina Garten porn, Giada's gone Chinese, a review of Giada's Parmesan Garlic Dipping Sauce, Paranormal Cake Challenge, Down Home with the Neelys and Gina's rude sister, NFNS recap, tons of listener mail, and more!
And here I thought I’d have nothing to do over lunch!! :P
Thank you so much Jill! The Cablevision explanation on Food Network is getting more and more agressive against Scripps. Thanks again, this will bring me right up until I have to leave for work.
Since when was Tilapia a strong fish??
Yeah um…isn’t it pretty mild?
yeah I’ve always thought Tilapia was really mild…
but anyway I couldn’t stop laughing at this. Hilarious stuff… especially about Sandra Lee
I’m sorry, Paula Deen’s fish looks revolting. Tilapia is one of the grossest fish in the ocean.
God, y’all. She burned it.
Oh, it’s supposed to be blackened. Heh. ::::barf
Poopy thinks anything she burns is ‘blackened’.
Sorry, they are very mild freshwater fish! And farm raised more than catfish!
Most tilapia is farmed raised and is mild in flavor.
Another example of a FN host making stuff up to sound authoritative. Nice try Pauler.
I saw something on Animal Planet once that talked about how at zoo’s they put tilapia in with large animals like hippos because they eat crap…literally.
Damn, I just ate some.
If you want to see revolting, you should see anglerfish! (It was the secret ingredient on Iron Chef Japan several times).
Yuck, all that butter she smothered the fish in…..
Oooh, great idea! I’ve tuned into FN so I can watch along with you…
Still feel bad for those w/o FN. It’s ridiculous that the Cablevision customers are being left hanging.
Three Bean Salad makes me ill. Blaaah.
And it’s always the 3 nastiest beans that no one wants to eat even when served alone.
Oh, Aunt Raffi is on today.
the above comment wasn’t supposed to show up in this section.
Every time Pauls whips out a cast iron pan, they look new! Never look like they have been ‘used’ a lot to cook in, uuummmmm…….
Nobody born after 1970 would consider buying, preparing, or eating three bean salad. Did I hear Paula suggest giving it to kids? I don’t know a kid on the planet who will touch the stuff.
Agreed.
I like Aunt Raffi! She gives Giada WHAT FER!!
No Shit! That’s why I love it when she’s on! Remember, no garlic if Giada’s mother is eating!
I didn’t know that Giada was John Cusimano’s sister!
OK, that’s really funny. RR mentions the garlic thing almost as much as “joy of the mountain.”
Aaaaah, more beans!
How many times is Giada going to say “Perfect” in this episode? I’m up to a count of 15.
Oh this is fun! Jill you should do this a few times a month if you have the time.
Damn. Wish I wasn’t at work now.
It’s funny to see Giada make faces like Raffi is off base or something. Raffi is old sKoOl and most often–correct. Giada is a boob.
That should say ‘BOOBS’!
Why isn’t Giada’s mom actually cooking her specialty?
This is like the world’s most boring episode of Giada at home.
Wait…aren’t they all boring??
They’re zesty though – very citrusy.
And the McDonald’s commercial just now was HORRIBLE. The guy walking down the street telling everyone “don’t talk to me, I haven’t had my coffee”. And the bright, cheery McDonald’s employee (the one I’ve never seen in an actual McDonald’s) offers him a coffee and he says, “Talk to me!” Good God, I hate McDonalds commercials with a passion.
Makes one wonder what TFN thinks their target market is. Or who the advertisers think it is. How can we talk about ‘good’ ingredients and the best, freshest stuff when we have McDonald’s commercials wedged in between? Aunt Sandy’s slop being the exception, of course. That matches the intended audience.
Money talks…. Food Network is full of people who think it’s a good idea to cook, but at the end of the day they won’t, so then they’ll turn to ol’ Ronald McDonald to help ‘em out.
The Food Network thinks that their target market is people who want food made easy.
I don’t want food made easy. I watch shows about food because I am obsessed with creating good food. I want food made best.
TFN gets really excited when they have another concept to address the “I want fast easy food” group.
hey wat waz the name of that video. i kno u dont lik it but could u pleez tell me. thanx. if not mayb a link??
Gaaah, Giada stop saying “Bru-skitt-a”!
Oh – Giada’s zesting a lemon. You know she couldn’t go one episode without it.
I love the shots of Duff looking all like a member of MS-13.
If RayRay had put the EVOO in with the sausage first, they would crisp-up, and then put the wine in! Geezzzz….
The close-ups of the sausages in Rachael Ray’s pans are really grossing me out.
OMG, best screen shot ever of RayRay crappin’ her drawers.
hehehehe! Brilliant screen shot!
Where did she come up with this combo? And why is it considered “comfort food”?
Sausages cooked in wine…it just doesn’t sound good to me.
I’m so sick of the “Worst Cooks” commercial.
“so you boiled the whole chicken……”
OMG…I am so with you! We all know that FN replays commercials AD NAUSEUM, but this on is over-the-top obnoxious. I thought they would slow them down after the show actually premiered – apparently I was wrong.
What’s even worse is that you can’t escape it by changing the channel – it’s EVERYWHERE!! I was watching Bravo and getting annoyed with it.
I can’t believe after all these years, RR still reminds us to salt the pasta water, it’s the only time we can.
Rachael Ray constantly fills awkward silences by moaning “Mmm,mmm.” It just comes across as so phony.
EW! RACHAEL RAY’S SAUSAGES LOOK DISGUSTING. I wouldn’t eat that if you paid me.
Oh now, she thought she could ‘blacken’ her sausage like Paula did her fish! Gross!
Maybe she’s tired of the dirty sausage that she has to live with. Maybe blackening it is the only way to tolerate it.
I’m shocked that she didn’t mention that “oregano” means “joy of the mountain” in Greek.
Ina wears the same East Hampton outfits while in Paris. What, no beret?
I’ve been screaming ‘Wardrobe’ for years! At least ol’ Pauler wears colorful outfits!
Gawd, another oversized cotton shirt? I’d even be pleased if she wore red or purple or something other than denim or black or white.
Ina is as big as a freakin’ Hamptons house.
She tries to dress up those tents with a long scarf wrapped around her neck…even at the beach. Who wears a scarf at the beach anyway??
@suebee: At some of her faaabulous beach bashes, Ina and her guests looked like they were freezin’ their frickin’ azzes off, so the scarf might have been more than a Hamptons’ fashion statement ;)
Ina, please don’t ever utter the words “hairy fish” every again.
She probably has a “hairy fish”!
Sausages, penises, Rachel Ray. Too much testosterone.
Ugh! Ina’ tapenade looks disgusting! Too oily.
Even good anchovies are bad.
I agree with you guys. Ina really needs to retire the over sized denim and black tent shirts. Imagine her wearing pink or red or even green. I can’t even imagine it.
If I was invited in for tartine, I’d say “what the hell is that?”
“Just like in Paris”
You’re IN Paris Ida!!” Go take a walk and buy a damn sandwich instead of making one. Why in God’s name would you cook french food while you’re IN FRANCE?!
-Is it just to remind us peasants that we will never be able to make croutons using bread from the best bakery in the world? Or make Easy French food with your ingredients? Of course it’s easy! All the French stuff you need is RIGHT FRIKKIN THERE! Like I’m gonna find this crap in my grocery store? Yes you’re richer than me…happy now?
:::deep breath:::
if she cooks over there, it’s a business trip instead of a vacation.
You can take a LOT of business trips that way….
Can someone ’splain why IG’s jowls are more prnounced than PD’s? PD eats sticks of friggin’ butter, while IG seems to eat a mediterranean diet.
Now you see in technicolor that it’s not necessarily about JUST what you eat. There are a bajillion other factors that go into your ‘jowls’…Genetics, muscle tone, proportions etc….PD also could have had some work done…I think she’s just taller and actually more toned than our dear Ina.
Ina eats sticks of butter too. Tons of butter. She puts butter in everything, and apparently she has even taken some heat for how much butter she uses, because one day she was making brownies and she started off by saying in a defensive tone: “DON’T even START with me. You CAN’T make good BROOWWWWnies without BUUUUter!” Back to her jowls though, here’s a thought: she has bazillions of dollars. Why doesn’t she get a nip and a tuck in the chin area? I guess Jeffrey doesn’t want anyone tampering with his idea of perfection.
she loves the mayo, too!
She uses butter to crisp up her old skin in the hot Southern sun YA’LL. That’s how she keeps her jowls in check.
Well that’s one thing I love about Jeffrey–that he adores Ina just the way she is…Something the rest of the world could learn from him….
Genetics
I can’t help but think Jeffrey is so cute!
Jeffrey is adorable!
Adorable?? I’m not sure I would go that far, but he does seem to genuinely think his wife is the best thing since sliced baguettes. That, I think, is truly sexy.
Why do all of Ina’s female friends (except for Dwyer) look like escapees from the psych ward at Bellevue?
I think his personality is adorable! He just seems like such a gracious and kind person.
CherryRose, they do kinda have that ‘if you only knew’ look about ‘em!
They all look like giant, irritated rats.
Experimental rats, perhaps? They could be trying out the latest psychotropic meds that will help them retain their sanity. Maybe a day spent with Ina noshing on assorted comfort foods is considered “good” therapy ;)
LOL, or maybe spending a day realizing how much thinner than Ina they are is supposed to stroke their egos and give them a sense of well being?
Are you kidding me?! Am I the only one on this website that thinks Jeffrey is GAY!!! Come on he got married to Ina for the food….his voice is one step up from a lisp.
@Meghan: Ina’s sexual orientation is somewhat nebulous, as well, isn’t it?
Yeah, I’ve always wondered if Ina’s “fag hag” mentality was hiding her own sexual preferences.
I love Jeffrey, not gay, no way! He’s a sweet guy. There are actually some out there. I think Ina’s buds are waaaay uncomfortable on camera.
Jeffrey walking down a Paris street holding a baguette. How funny can that be?
He’s Ina-Whipped!
Why is Aunt Drunky screaming at me right now? Holy cow woman – tone it down!
Yeah, and swordfish is money saving…right.
Well, come on now! This is, after all, the Daffodil Parade in her nondescript “hometown”!!
Absolutely…no better time to splurge than your Daffodil Parade event…too right mate.
YELLOW OVERLOAD, Sandra!
The guy driving the car looks like Steven Keaton from Family ties (Michael Gross sans beard)
Grab the vodka! It’s cocktail time with Aunt (hic)(burp) Toddy!
Why the dissing of IG’s oversized shirts? Would you rather see a form-fitting number on her?
God no. Just another color scheme once in a while. A dash of color perhaps?!
I must say. I’ve always wondered how she keeps her black shirts so flawless when she’s throwing flour around the kitchen. If that were me, I’d look like a hot mess.
She actually wore a taupe blouse on today’s episode! HOW daring! It made my day! It wasn’t white, blue, or black! WOO-HOO!!! What’s next, spandex disco pants and a tube top?
‘Good’ flour doesn’t stick on your clothes.
Wow, that last photo of Ina is really unflattering. I think she needs to learn that, when one wears clothes that actually fit, one looks better. Just because you’re seriously overweight doesn’t mean you have to look dumpy.
“bloated dog ticks”
Oh, man. That isn’t how I read it the first time..
ME EITHER! LMFAO!
I’m with you two! Ha!!
Are those her kids? They also Semi-Homemade?
Aunt Sandy’s Guide to Pronunciation:
WIZ-CAN-ZIN!
Sandra says “li’l”, and “cute li’l” wayyy too often.
Those are the most perfect illustrations of her continual drunken slur.
Thats totally Alan Alda driving drunky drunkerson around
Fun drinking game: everytime Aunt Drunky says “super”, take a shot. Oh wait…no don’t do that. You’ll be in the hospital with alcohol poisioning with 3 minutes of the show starting.
What logo is on Sandra’s jacket? Looks like FN, but I can’t tell b/c I seem to have been blinded by the yellow.
It’s an embroidered bottle of Vodka. She asked Land’s End if they could swing that when she ordered her fleece pullover.
Jillian, thank you ever EVER so much for this liveblog. You have no idea of the joy and fall-out-of-my-chair laughter you have brought to my living room this afternoon. Seriously.
is tablescape a real word?
Only in Aunt Sandy land.
Google tablescape and your first choice, ohhh surprise…..it’s Sandy Lee Semi-Homemade.
How about a granade tablescape, complete with being able to blow it up.
I actually went and looked both “tablescape” and “daffodillian” up at Dictionary.com. Predictably, the online dictionary didn’t have a clue what “daffodillian” was, and simply said “no results found”. When I typed in “tablescape”, it was on a little firmer footing, and asked me if I meant “no results found–did you mean telescope?” So, no, neither of those are real words to anybody who’s sober.
I LOVE when Giada’s Auntie Raffi’s with her in the kitchen. Giada loses control completely and acts like a spoiled brat. Auntie scolds Giada for altering the family recipes and Giada gets sooooo pissed. She ought to kiss her Auntie’s ring; aren’t all ‘her’ recipes translations done by Auntie Raffi? Those shows are my absolute favorites!
Tuschman should give Auntie Raffi a show!
Tell me you enlarged Giada’s head via photoshop in that screencap, because it is kind of scaring me!
So Scamdra? If a sign of the fish being done is that they won’t stick to the grill, WHY THE HELL DID YOU SLATHER THEM WITH VEGETABLE OIL so they wouldn’t stick to the grill?
Here… have another cocktail.
Wow. That makeup on Sandy just looks hideous. Apparently her makeup people are fond of the sauce, too.
Yeah, the makeup was ridiculous, but it could have been worse: Scamdra could have been wearing various shades of yellow eyeshadow, blush, and lipstick!
You will soon be receiving a bill for the brain bleach needed to wipe out that visual. Ewwww.
I once read on Ina’s website a viewer’s question about where to get shirts like Ina’s. The reply was hilarious! She actually has those hideous monstrosities CUSTOM made! Guess there’s no Lane Bryant in the Haaaampton’s!
Gosh, and I thought she was buying them in the “Just My Size” department of Walmart…
I never realized how much I missed Semi Homemade with Sandra Lee. Money Saving Meals IS horrible. So boring! No laughs.
Why does Sandra Lee always put cupcakes in wrappers on top of frosted cakes? Like, who would want the piece of cake that was underneath the cupcake after all the frosting came off when they lifted the cupcake off of it and it was all stuck to the cupcake wrapper? I have a friend whose son is in Boy Scouts. Every year they have a contest where each kid and his dad are supposed to create a cake together and then have them judged. Hilarity ensues. I think I know where Aunt Sandy has been getting all of her cake ideas…
Thanks A Bunchies Jillian, And Good Job!!!!!
Jillian – this was a great post. I had Food Net on all afternoon in the background. I wish I knew you were doing this, I would have watched along. But the photos and commentary were hialrious. Love this site!
This HAS been a fun Thursday afternoon diversion. We should all get together more often. I believe that nothing bonds people together more than FN. Jillian – you were dead-on, as usual. Although, I wish you were live blogging Guy right now!
I must admit that I wasn’t watching FN continuously during the blog, I saw enough of each show to know what episodes were being discussed. As I look out my window at the continuing snowfall, it was fun to follow the humorous posts, and Jillian did a fine job with the screen shots with her new cable service. Bravo! Let’s do this again sometime.
Jillian, this post was your best, and much more entertaining than the actual shows :)
this is the funniest shit ever.
This was really great! But I wish L’il Ol’ Sandy was making her mole with jarred spaghetti sauce with chocolate chips in it.
e-fucking-gad that sounds absolutely hideous. if she tried to pass that shit off as mole to me she’d be wearing it.
Why tilapia? Is thers some tilapia consortium paying Pauler to push it? Tilapia is the new haddock.
The battle between Scripps and Cablevision is getting really dirty. This morning they had Bobby Flay commiserating with us poor Food Networkless peons. He knows how much we miss Food Network (and HGTV) So lucky us, they are going to show the White House Iron Chef on a regular station. (sorry I forgot which one) Food Network is thinking of us…bless their hearts.
This is after a morning of commercials from each party declaring how sad they are, how powerless they are, so write the offending company and let them know how unhappy you are.
You know what…Jillian your site is all the food network I need. Your review is freaking hilarious.
Haaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa! That was freakin hilarious!!! Ilove this blog it cracks me up! Sandra has serious issues, I dont blame you for not being able to stand Bobby Flay, Paula is a HOT mess, and Inas oversize shirts dont do anything for her. I have noticed FN shows a lot of old shows.
Hey Jillian,
Regarding Paula, can you clarify, what is more nauseous her Talapia or the thumb ring?
“I’m Ina freakin’ Garten. Who the hell are you?”
I haven’t laughed so hard since the tuna can cookie picture!
This is great/hilarious!
Does anyone other than me laugh when Ted Allen talks about the best darn pickle he ever had?
I bet it was!
I wouldn’t laugh at that. I’m obsessed with pickles and I also remember the best one I’ve ever had. They’re a food sent from heaven.
Am I crazy, or does Sandy’s driver look like Alan Alda?
Mr. Keaton from Family Ties.
I was going to say James Cromwell. As both age, they look more and more alike.
well i wrote a similar comment which didnt get published but yeah… Alan Alda
It looks like Pauler cooked up one half of Aunt Raffi’s chest.
OMG HILARIOUS!! And, is it me or does Giada’s head look even BIGGER in that picture?
Everytime I log onto FN’s website, I keep seeing these ads that smoking causes blindness and blood clots…I thought Melissa D’Arabian did that
I think Jillian’s play-by-play is my new favorite way to watch FN. Thanks!
Ina gives oversized shirts and the color black a bad image. I think she should just wear overalls.
Please do this on a recurring basis! I am at work, and this was a great pick-me-up!
Hilarious!!!! Jillian you are a genius!
This is so effin hilarious!!
I think Sandra Lee’s brain has been super super fried by all the alcohol…
Just a correction: Aunt Sandy did indeed spend part of her childhood in Sumner, WA, which is between Seattle and Tacoma, and near the towns where the Daffodil Parade and the Puyallup Fair take place (she’s done shows on both of these). She moved to Wisconsin as a teenager, I believe, and attended college there.
None of this changes the absolute hilarity of all the above posts, of course!
