Drinking and Cooking

I love the Food Network. It caters to the common folk. I made a 30 Minute Meal on my first date with my wife. But I've got some suggestions.

First I want to see a blooper reel. Aren't you tired of the cooks telling you the food is going to be delicious? Really? Would a car salesman tell you the car is going to break down the moment you drive it off the lot? I'd love to watch Barefoot Contessa and have Ina Garten say, "Jeffery is going to love this." Taste. "Oh. This chicken tastes like shit!" Now I could have said I'd enjoy hearing Rachel Ray or Paula Deen say it, but we'd expect it from them.

The second item on the menu is Down Home with the Neelys. I have to admit I've never cooked on of their meals. But I watch the show. I'm open to new ideas.

The problem is Pat Neely. He's the husband. He laughs at everything making me think he's high. He laughed seven times in the first five minutes of the show and nobody told a joke! You can play a drinking game while he makes his drunken shrimp. Drink every time he laughs. Chug if they comment on how much he loves his brown sugar.
