That show made me almost not want to go out and eat anymore. Some of those places, yuck. That was another one of my favorite shows. I wonder if that'll come back.

Ramsey's Kitchen Nightmares rocks!
I appreciate the format of that show--trying to better a restaurant in his "loving" way.

BBC America is just great in other shows. How Clean is Your House? and You Are What You Eat are the other great shows, IMO.
How Clean is Your House, You are What You Eat, Ramsay's Kitchen Nightmares sm
I love BBC America!

I also love Hell's Kitchen, Dr. G, Big Medicine, Little People Big World, Deadliest Catch, South Park, etc. I love Birth Day or any other birthing shows that aren't super happy-go-lucky shows.

I need to turn the TV off!
Nightmares and hangover from which now?

The melatonin stuff or the Tylenol PM?  Man, I definitely don't need THAT!


I had these nightmares for 20 years. .

I had these type of nightmares from the time I was 10 until I was about 32. I would also sleep walk. Once when I was 10, I woke up in a house down the street. It was kind of freaky because I couldn't get out of their house because all of the doors were locked. They were on vacation and no one was there to let me in. I just woke up on their couch. Most of the time, I would dream that I was in my room and a light was trying to pull me in. I would not be able to move and I could see everything in my room. I would have this dream almost every night. I would be terrified of going into the light. I never saw anything other than the light though. My parents would find me sleeping in front of their bedroom door in the mornings. I don't know if this had any thing to do with it, but these dreams started after my stepmom and I were playing with a Ouija board (I was 10). I didn't really understand what a bad thing it was at the time. The funny thing is, I have had pictures taken of me that and you could see a light over me. The dreams finally stopped after I had my first child at age 32. I didn't realize there was a name for these types of dreams. I am so glad they are gone!


Your inner peace is disrupted.....hence, the nightmares. nm

Anyone ever had paralyzing nightmares or thought abducted by UFO?
This is supposedly serious because what happened to me has been just that. I have had (what I finally find out were) paralyzing nightmares. This happened to me at least 3 times- I was sleeping in bed twice, could not move, was petrified because knew if I were able to look behind me would see some kind of horrible monster. I could think, I could see and yet could not move. This again happened 1 time when lying down on the sofa- I could not scream to family member but this time it was like the horrible thing I could not turn and see was pinching  me on my buttocks. My daughter finally came out of her room and I was let go. One time on my sofa I could see, think and well you know the rest about the evil one behind me. For years I never knew what these were- finally saw on a show people had had identical things happen to them- now some people on a show last night with supposed paralyzing nightmares have felt like they were kidnapped, taken places where they were examined, some of the guys were made to give sperm, women had pelvics done and yet stories derived from lots all sound very, very similar. I have seen things I thought were of UFO origin, well I could not identify nor could any of the people around me so if you have had, tell me your experience and what you think has happened. Do you believe in UFOs?
Hel*s Kitchen
Chef Ramsey is a hoot!! I have to agree with you..I doubt I would ever eat anything they made either.

The other night they made them put all the wasted food into plastic containers so they could see what they did. It was sooo gross. LOL.

What I have always wondered...Are the people that you see eating there paid to do that? and do they hear all the commotion in the kitchen?? Especially Ramsey's language.

No matter what...I think the show is great entertainment.
kitchen
I am in the corner of my kitchen - it works out okay as long as everybody is out of the house.
we are redoing our kitchen
We are doing this the cheap way and painting the cabinets. They are in good shape just need perked up.

I HAVE TO TELL YOU...I beleve ol' Nick has seen better days! OH MY GOSH. THAT PIC IS A HOOT!!!!!
kitchen cabinets

Has anyone ever re-did old veneer kitchen cabinets?  If so, what did you use to "spruce" them up?  My cabinets themselves are in decent shape, but some of the veneer is starting to peel off.  My husband and I are putting our house up for sale and I want something inexpensive that looks good.  Any ideas would be greatly appreciated.


Anyone watching He*l's kitchen
Anyone watching the new season of Hel*'s kitchen with Chef Gordon Ramsey.  I missed last week but caught it last night.  DH and I love that show.  Ramsey tells em like it is.  I hope some of them get better because I would not ever eat anything any one of those contestants ever made.  They are supposed to have some experience but they waste so much food.  Just wondered if I'm the only sicko out here who laughs when those people get yelled at.
Hardwood in the kitchen......
Friends of our had hardwood in their kitchen. While out of town, there was a leakage from their fridge and it ruined the floor. Even if they had been there, the water got in the grooves of the wood and the only way to make it look right would be to replace all the wood. They now have ceramic tile which holds up to everything.
What type of kitchen mop do you use?
I am really frustrated with my kitchen mop right now. I have a cermanic tile floor that has to be mopped at least once or twice a week (when I feel like it). I can't find a mop that I like and gets the floor clean. Just curious what type of floor you have and what kind of mop do you use?
We have ceramic in the kitchen
and I use a Swiffer. I also use it on my wood floors in the family room and the dining room.
Love Hell's Kitchen
used to watch 90210, I'm finally sick of watching re-runs. My new guilty pleasure is One Tree Hill on Soap Net. Love Survivor.
Eeek. Now there is a katydid in the kitchen.
The critters just never stop.  This one must have suicidal ideation.  Wait till the cat gets a hold of him.
refacing kitchen cabinets
I am buying a home with a kitchen that needs re-doing but can't afford to have all new cabinets installed.  Has anyone had their cabinets re-faced and if so, how did it come out?  Is the cost really a lot less than buying new cabinets?  My kitchen isn't really all that big either.
I got one to the local kitchen shop.
My mom knew I needed new pots and pans, but as I am so picky, she just got me a gift card so I could go pick my own. 
Carry the hardwood into the kitchen!

It is just as easy to care for as linoleum and it will look wonderful carried through continuously.  It will make your house look more spacious.


3 in the kitchen near the back door, and
I've seen videos where some people cut a side-entry hole in a big storage bin like you get at Walmart, and fill it with litter. (Can be covered, or not, though many cats don't like covered boxes because it intensifies the odor for them.) The high walls, with the only low spot being the entry, keep most of the litter in if they're real diggers & flingers!
sounds delicious -- my little boy is in the kitchen
i set him up with the mixer in the sink so he doesn't make too huge of a mess.  he loves baking cakes cuz it's like a science project (he's 8)... loves baking...
We have a dimmer switch in our kitchen -
and on the box it said not to use them in a light with a dimmer - When we put them in anyway, they buzzed the whole time they were on. So we only use them in regular lights.
California Pizza Kitchen
makes a very good frozen pizza; for a while I was hooked on the 5-cheese and tomato. You can just see the calories dripping off of it.
Definitely modern, kitchen has dark blue
walls and cabinets, all built in white. Have dark brown slate on floor, so those are the colors and just drawing a blank about the counters.
Lysol Kitchen Bacterial Spray
and then wipe.  Works great.  I love the stuff! 
The girl in the kitchen telling her dad how awful it all is...
and then her mom gives her money in the other room.  That one always cracks me up. 
Kitchen Nightmare is BORING. Same show and

problem with ants on my kitchen table
I want to thank whoever recommended Terro.  Somebody that my daughter works with gave her some; it is the best.  We have tried everything else and I do mean everything else from fogging the house, to raid to wiping down the table completely, so again I want to thank you.  All of the ants love it, which is great.
Click on the kitchen, Claus' cookbook, then cookies.

kitchen confidential...the book is on tape/maybe CD by now read by the author...sm

Kitchen Confidential (2000) is Chef Anthony Bourdain's personal and professional memoir of 25 years in the kitchens of New York. The book's full title is Kitchen Confidential: Adventures in the Culinary Underbelly, but Bourdain, who studied at Vassar College before graduating from the Culinary Institute of America, with knife-sharp prose cuts through the underbelly and straight into the entrails of New York's culinary world.

Beginning with a boyhood introduction to his first raw oyster, a "glistening, vaguely sexual-looking object, still dripping and nearly alive,' and navigating through soaring heights and devastating lows of a career simultaneously fueled and marred by drugs and alcohol, Bourdain's constant companions, this memoir not only tracks the coming of age of a now-celebrity chef with his own Food Channel series, but it maps the restaurants and kitchens that came and went during Bourdain's formative cooking years.

Though he is currently a highly-regarded executive chef at Brasserie Les Halles, Bourdain's early years were spent ricocheting from one failure to another, particularly during the period he refers to as "the wilderness years."


It is one of the central ironies of my career that as soon as I got off heroin things started getting really bad. High on dope I was, prior to Gino's, at least a chef - well paid, much liked by crew and floor and owners alike. Stabilized on methadone, I became nearly unemployable by polite society - a shiftless, untrustworthy, coke-sniffer, sneak-thief, and corner-cutting hack, toiling in obscurity in the culinary backwaters. I worked mostly as a cook, moving from place to place, often working under an alias.

Despite a total immersion approach to drugs and debauchery, Bourdain maintains his love of food and a passion for his work throughout. He is a purist with an ironclad work ethic, an ironically common badge of the addict. Bourdain's prose is peppered with profanity and he frequently refers to his customers as "rubes" and those who exist outside the restaurant industry, "civilians." His approach to writing is the same as his approach to food: clear, concise, and lacking in ephemeral B.S. He is, in short, a pleasure to read - or to listen to, as in this case.

As an audio book, Kitchen Confidential soars, because who better to deliver Anthony Bourdain's biting assessment of the restaurant industry than Bourdain himself? The sardonic tone emanates perfectly from the author's own voice. With oaudio books often not the case, but Bourdain proves equally capable behind the microphone as he is behind the laptop,lap tope chef's counter.

Pick up a copy of this book. If you spend any amount of time in New York City restaurants, Kitchen Confidential is a must-read. If you've spent any time working in the culinary arts, Kitchen Confidential is a must-read. For anyone else, Kitchen Confidential will be one of the fastest and sharpest works of memoir that you'll ever have the pleasure of digesting.
