as so the cremini mushrooms that you chopped yourself, did it take 10 minutes like Aunt sandy swears in http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RLMNZ6xY6YY ?

I just watched those cherry crepes and I don’t believe you can actually buy premade crepes…although I also didn’t think you could buy prechopped onions, and I recently learned you can. Those crepes were gross.

The new orleans shrimp pizza actually sounds kind of good- I am sad it is horrible! The only really good/edible things we have made on the blog so far are her “Shrimp in Spicy Coconut Sauce” and “Chicken Caesar Salad Pizza.” I currently have her Chili fries in the oven and am going to make her Tex-Mex Chipotle Cheeseburgers…..oh and I just finished a Gin Plush…which was quite tasty if you like gin!

“Yeah she can’t cook. Everything has either been super processed or super bland. Do you remember what you made of hers?”

I remember this hot mess of a gnocchi dish. It was just horrifying, though I learned to LOVE gnocchi dishes after I dumped this “russipe” and did my own sauce from scratch, starting with a roux then adding some milk, then crumbling in some good Gorgonzola or Roquefort and tossing in some sauteed Crimini Mushrooms (that I chopped and sauteed myself).

And more recently, the crepes on the “Vury Churry” episode simply appalled and disgusted me. How is that even “cooking”? Needless to say, it tasted like crap. After I saw it again last week, I did my own strawberry crepes all from scratch. I cut and prepared both the strawberries and the crepes myself, and I made a chocolate sauce all on my own. (It’s easy… Again, start with the roux, add some milk or cream, toss in your favorite type of chocolate, and spice and sweeten as you please.) Of course, I preferred doing it on my own.

Oh, and have you done the “New Orleans Shrimp Pizza” yet? Be prepared for the FAIL…

Adtleft- Aunt Sandy doesn’t mess around with cocktail time, even if it is kiddie cocktail time. Yeah she can’t cook. Everything has either been super processed or super bland. Do you remember what you made of hers?

Barb – yeah, I couldn’t imagine it either. A few years ago I hated her show. Then I started watching them for the shear entertainment of it and I always looked up the recipe reviews because I couldn’t believe people could possible make them, let alone like them. After a while of watching the same episodes over and over Liz and I decided we had to try them, despite the indigestion and messed up stomachs we knew would ensue (there have been quite a few). It’s been fun though…the cocktails (which haven’t been that great) make everything taste better after a while.
