I've been watching Rachael Ray a lot. The first time or two I ever watched her, she really got on my nerves, but then this summer sometimes her show would come on and I wouldn't change the channel. She grew on me, and now I like her. :D I know things on tv are a bit contrived, but I think she probably gets the closest of any cooking show out there ( Read more... )

I made Mushroom Barley Soup and Asparagus Mushroom Casserole yesterday.  The soup was just okay yesterday, but it's pretty good today.  I know some foods are like that, but I still find it weird.  When I made Tuna Casserole a couple of weeks ago I had the same experience.  It was just okay that night, but the leftovers I had for lunch the next day ( Read more... )
