I like 30 Minute Meals, dislike The Rachael Ray Show. Why? Idk, but I think it’s that 30MM is all about the cooking, while The RRS tries to pretend to be about food by wedging a recipe into an Oprah/gossip/HSN template.

Sound like Mike R. is nominated for a Hubba-hubba?

He auditioned for the Boston Opera for a lark . . . and got in! =)

“hegemony of the elite”

Not sure what that is, but I’ll bet it tastes great with a nice, white wine sauce.

My wife loves Rachel Ray – has for years. She buys every book, watches every show. She met her once at a book-signing, got her picture and a short conversation. Watch Rachel Ray on TV, watch the bubbly personality and the energy – imagine the hair is blonde and you have my wife. Someone has to counter her curmudgeon of a husband.

I hate you. I brought it on myself, but I hate you.

Ah, of course. I remember that show now. Thanks for the reminder, ladies. I recall seeing it a few times – not bad at all.

Wasn’t he a professional opera singer before he got the gig on Discovery? Seems like a true Renaissance man.

Yep, that’s about right, Rufus. Silly youthful ideas and bad academic advisers made me the success I am today! Well, it’s not all bad. I get to throw things like ‘hegemony of the elite’ and max Weber quotes into conversation on occasion.

I am gonna dig around and see if I can find the video where he is speaking about what he does for a living and the stuff he has discovered through his work on Discovery. He basically snidely trashes Hillary Clinton.
