Don't care for Paula Dean or Rachel Ray.

In Reply to: I turn off the food channel when she comes on. I cannot deal with her at all. I would much rather - PAMT
I don't like the heavy type of food that Paula Dean cooks. And forgive me, but I find her voice and accent grating on my nerves. I much prefer Giada DeLaurentis. It's nice that the Food Network has such variety. There's something for everyone.

I only watch Paula Dean sm
She is the best. I can watch her show and not get distracted and anxiety-driven like some of the other shows. Rachel Ray drives me nuts with the way she talks with her hands, even on her talk show. Her voice is even annoying. I do like that gal from Semi-homemade, though. She's easy to watch.
I totally love Paula Dean sm
2:30 and waited for about an hour and a half. Hubby and kids went on siteseeing and I had my son's IPod and also talked to several people in line. (btw, I went in July so it was incredibly hot) you actucally will pass a bar (depening on where you are in line) and there is a sign that says "aren't you glad you can have beer on the streets" or something like that. You can get small cups of water at the check-in window but have someone hold your place in line. I can not say that I would stand in line again. I expected the presentation to be a bit more. Food was good, but not the best I have ever had. If you don't mind waiting I sort of think it is worth it just to say you have been there. Right outside of Savannah is her brother's restaurant "Uncle Bubba's". We loved that. We didn't have reservations but only waited about 20-25 minutes. We also took a haunted tour (kids loved it) this was one that actucally toured a graveyard plus a house. We really thought is was worth it. Also, down by the river the street performers (some, not all) were really quite entertaining. Have a wonderful trip.
Rachel Ray is worse
Get the woman a muzzle and some valium. Good grief her voice goes through me like chalk on a chalkboard.
I'm oddly amused by the Jimmy Dean ads,
the one where the father's job is working as the sun. He is the sun, and he gets no respect, and yet he's the only one who is happy in the ads.

I love Dean Koontz but it sounds like
that's not what your are looking for. How about Barbara Kingsolver - The Bean Trees or Ann B. Ross - The Miss Julia series?
Anyway cook using Rachel Ray's recipes? sm
I'm always looking to try something different and her 30 minute meals sure look tasty and easy.
Rachel Ray also drives me nuts with her voice.
I like the woman who does Barefoot Contessa, calm and relaxed with a soothing way about her.
Epicurious.com, Rachel Ray, Martha Stewart, etc. sm
Google away, I will look up some recipes but sometimes the latest are good also and "tested," I have tried some oldies which did not turn out well, be sure they are "tested" first. Get back to you if I can find some I pre-tested. Good idea, love home baked or home made items, shows you care!
Our family recipe always had pork sausage (i.e. Jimmy Dean). nm

I agree. Both of them. Talk about class but I must say Rachel is pulling in the bucks with her
shows. I love watching Paula put butter on all her foods and STUFFING it in her mouth.
Rachel Ray had the cutest looking french toast cups yesterday. sm
She soaked the bread in eggs, milk, vanilla, nutmeg, cinnamon mixture and put the bread into a muffin pan so that they made a little cup (you cut a slit in the bread and it forms a cup when put in the muffin hole). Baked them and then filled them with fruit and topped with maple syrup and bacon pieces. Looked really good. I am going to try that this year!
I don't care about your things, and can't imagine anyone would care about mine.
Whether it's my eating quirks or my sexual preferences, I have no need to divulge that stuff here.
It's NOT that interesting (mine OR yours!) and nobody cares.
Hey Paula
Did you see her reality show Hey Paula? It showed the last time she was on HSN and she was really "loopy", she blamed it on no sleep.
What did you think about Paula's sm
performance last night? With all her back problems she can still move.
Paula on AI
She sure can move, and she looks great, but the sound was over synthesized or whatever you call it. It's the same way Brittany Spears sings. It sounds so mechanical and robotic.
I'd like to do what Paula Deen is doing . . .
Have a successful family restaurant, be on the cooking channel. I'd specialize in vegetarian gourmet cooking.
Paula Deen
I like Paula Deen very much but on the last show I saw she acted like she had had too much to drink. She made punch and she was drinking through a straw out of the punch bowl. At the same time her bird was also drinking out of the punch bowl.
Same here; especially Paula's food...
I say to my husband it's no wonder she looks like that - look what she's making now. lol. I don't care for all that fat either. I looked up her recipes and found chicken pot pie, fried bisquits, deep fried turkey, fried cream corn!, deep fried cheesecake!, macaroni and cheese, fried empanadas with cheese dip! Do people down south really eat like that? I probably eat stuff like that twice a year.
AI Paula's outfit what did you think sm
I thought it was not appropriate for the show. I am suprised no one made a remark on the sho.
Paula Abdul on HSN now....I think she's...
intoxicated. Or is she always like that?
Got this from Paula Deen's cookbook--
it is great but only thing I do not like is that it does not reheat well
4 c macaroni
2 c grated cheddar cheese
3 egs, beaten
1/2 c sour cream
4 T butter
1/2 t salt
1 c milk
cook and drain macaroni. combine remaining ingredients, add to macaroni. bake 30-45 minutes. top with more cheese.
I am seriously worried about Paula Deen
Every time I see her on her show, she looks bigger and bigger.
Poor lady, she is so sweet, I really like her show, but she just uses an obscene amount of butter... so so fattening. I don't see how she going to make it, eating the way she does. Yikes.
Everything she makes looks delicious but I know I can't make or eat any of it!
I saw on Paula Deen I think that they are injecting
I think it was on Paula Deen on foodtv I saw them injecting melons with vodka/liquor and I thought it was a fabulous summertime idea!!
Paula finally came clean
I saw on the Today show today that Paula FINALLY admitted that she was addicted to pain pills and is now clean. Duh, like we didn't know something was up even when she denied it. She does seem better this year although still annoying.
I used to not like Paula, but compared to Cara,
I love Paula. I hope they get rid of that new judge before the next season... Ugh.

I like Paula, the media and people make up so much stuff!...nm
nm
Exactly, I think Kara should go and Randy, Paula and Simon should stay
like it was before.
Chris will go today!
got that right!! If u don't take care of your man....nm
.
Somebody already took care of that
I don't really care if you believe me or not.
Whoever stated above that the mother must be a decent person because she raised Daniel for the first 6 years of his life is stating something that is not true. I am just saying that you cannot base her character on that because it is not true, period.
You can believe what you want. I don't care. I don't have reason to come here and make this up, but I know who Daniel was raised by and a lot more than that. The grandmother did not raise him though. A very loving person who I am very close with and who has been in my life as a second mother to me raised him. The grandmother deserves no credit for that.
Trust me, there are a lot more people who this has hurt and affected than just those you see on TV.
Don't really care for any of them that much
And I used to be an AI addict! Now not so much. : (
I just got it right on #4, could care less what others think
NM
Oh, now that would just take care of everything..
Not. I would be just as scared seeing something behind me, if only a glance, as in front or the side. My husband is much more respectable than most because he lets me know prior to entering the door.
Of course I care....
It's called human nature to care about another person who is suffering. And the people who are obsessed with her private life, like yourself, are more than likely a big part of the reason for her suffering. It's just so sad that you felt the need to berate the care she is receiving. You would want the same care for yourself. And with the way she's treated every time she steps foot outside her home, I would think she deserves to have all the privacy that her money can afford. And you can bet it's her own money paying for it, so why do you care if she gets any special attention because the general public won't leave her alone? Shame on you!
You know, I don’t care what you or others do
and I think most here are just seeing what others opinions are, not that they use your suggestions but asking if others have similar things going on. I think you can do what you want at any age; having said that I also find it silly when a really older woman tries to be as young as her grandchildren. I don’t listen to loud music because personally I want to keep my hearing intact and it bothers me now (think it did when in my 20s also, just don’t care for it, ever). Play your games, wear your hair long, blast your music, it is your life. I don’t tell others how to live their life and others don’t tell me. I think most here only asking opinions.
How I took care of this...
…Ok, the housekeeper lives with a sister and they both oversee the care of a retarded lady who is blind, unable to speak, cannot take care of herself- that might be a place the panties could have been used- this person would not know nor care. I brought the housekeeper over tonight and asked her to "look" for my panties as I knew where I put them. She denied taking them, but never would look me in my face, keeping her eyes down to the floor. I am no longer going to use her services- by the way she is most always calling me asking can she come to work, not me as she has never had a real job in the work force, used to live on welfare and food stamps before that went out so making 60-70$ (or if she did more would pay up to 100 or so for her time here) was ok with her. She spent no money driving here, riding public transportation here- I always went to get her which if you look at money wise, it comes out to more than what I actually paid her. The bottom line is my husband has told me for some time things were missing but now I have seen for myself. I want to be able to trust people who are in my home.
when they are old enough to take care of them on their own...
I wasn't allowed to get my ears pierced until I was old enough to take care of it myself...I think about 10 or so? So I would think whenever he's old enough to take care of it himself, that would be the age.
Sheesh. From reading some of the posts here, you would think he was wanting a tatoo of the devil...it's not like he couldn't take those earrings out later if he decided he didn't want them!!!!
You need to take care of your
bills first and not worry about giving gifts. Explain to your family that you will not be giving gifts this year and you expect nothing in return. They may not like it but they will get over it. If they ask questions about what you do with your money (which really is none of their business)just answer them with the economy being so bad you are unable to give gifts. I would hope they understand as everybody is going through it right now. You may feel uncomfortable, but at least you will be able to sleep and not worry whether your bills will be paid or not. Stand firm on this and DO NOT feel guilty as there is no reason to be.
I have also chosen not to exchange gifts this year as I cannot do it. I was surprised that my brother was relieved. Everybody is feeling the crunch.
I wish you much luck!
Do you care....
Which way the TP goes on the roller? I don't but I know some who freak out and have to change it if it's going in the wrong direction.
I don't care for the new way
It's too obvious who's going to get it when they call up a couple at a time.
Secretly, I was kind of hoping Nick Norman made it LOL
These can be taken care of
by injections, just zapping them away, heard not much pain at all, check with a dermatologist. I would not see a plastic surgeon, just give a call and ask. I would not think a cream would do the job.
I really don't care.
An eye for an eye. You correct someone else, so you should expect to be corrected. I only popped in here today to see what was going on. Oh, hey. Ya wanna know what? I can block this site on my own! And I can keep coming back no matter how many times I get kicked off the boards. There are unlimited free email accounts and dynamic IP addresses out there.
The best way to take care of this is
to grow a backbone and say no, cannot have company such and such a time. I do not have to give out any phony pretending not to be home, any thought up why I cannot have company, I just say nope.
Couldn't care less
I couldn't care less whether someone gives me good wishes for Christmas, Kwanzaa, Hanukkah, Winter Solstice, or just a generic "happy holidays." I also don't care what any store decides to name their holiday decorations or sales after.
From a purely economic standpoint, it does make sense for businesses to combine holidays when they occur near each other. If they advertise only "Christmas" items, then it potentially excludes anyone who does not celebrate that holiday. The same goes for Kwanzaa, Hanukkah, etc. To market to the largest number of people, a general "holiday sale" works because each person can take from that what they want. For Christians "the holidays" in December means Christmas. For Jews it means Hanukkah. For pagans it means "Winter Solstice" (which, by the way, is where many Christmas traditions originated from, including the "Christmas" tree, but that's another story for another time).
I guess my point is that I personally feel some people make too big a deal out of things like this. There are far more important things in this world to focus one's attention on than what a store wants to call its sales.
Well, you should care. Clearly, you are not God filled otherwise
you wouldn't have such negative, uncaring thinking about Christmas and not merely assume that it's all about commercialism.
I agree with you, and don't care who it is...!
Even my family doesn't drop by without calling first and I would not do it to them. We were brought up to be polite and courteous. Unfortunately not everyone is.
The police have enough to take care of besides
a person calling them if they got a card from an unknown person?? That is not what the police are for, them out investigating a birthday card and someone else is being robbed, assulted or whatever.. My goodness, think about your answer before you do post. The person on the post seems to be a caring person. If you have emergency, then the police should be called!!
I don't care if they belch,
yawn, cough, or fart, as long as they don't KEEP TALKING while doing it! ARRGGHHH!
Acute Care?
Hi there,
I was wondering if someone could help me. I've been researching courses in medical transcription, and I have seen quite a few times a reference to "acute care reports". I was hoping someone could explain what that was. Thanks!
I also don't care if they are young
and committing such a horrible crime on someone else who is more vulnerable.
The excuses run out eventually. If they give the excuse that THEY were molested as children then they absolutely KNOW that what they are doing to someone else is COMPLETELY wrong. No sympathy. Not one teeny tiny little bit.
