her recipes are simple and good, and one of them has a scallop recipe similar to one steve has posted here. Also, I don't have cable, so I don't really care how annoying people say she can be. not crap!

nice photo doctoring.

i want some sexy cookies.

No, that was the actual shoot, IIRC.

Rachael Ray's Joker-like grin gives me the creeps. Therefore she is crap.

After staying at my friend's place for a few days within recent months, I watched some significant FoodTV while he was at work and I was stuck there waiting for him to return. I had previously despised Ms. Ray but I have to say that I have learned to appreciate her subtle sarcasm, klutziness and occasional self-deprecation after the recent exposure to her programs.

I still wish that she'd quit it with the E.V.O.O., though. I am no fan but I no longer seethe with burning hatred for this woman after my recent 3-day stint of daytime cable teevee watching. Rachael Ray, I am at peace with you and your fame.

I can't stand this woman. I can't not peek in on her program, the same way I cannot peek in on a car crash I'm passing. I'd played with doing a C/NC for her before--only my hatred of Bobby Flay tempted me otherwise. I hate Flay. I have contempt for Rachel Ray.

Crap. WF: 4 because she's probably a pretty good cook if she layed off the seafood I can't stand.

Mandroid, you mention subtle sarcasm. I know not of what you speak.

It's hidden very, very well. I'm not sure if it's a recent addition to the show or if I had just been too busy wanting to throw my television set into an open fire whenever she was on it, but it's certainly present if you examine closely.

I guess that she sort of reminds me of me at times, trying to be extra-perky for a job that one is required to be perky for. "Well, hey, little fella! That can opener isn't getting you anywhere!"/*insert smile thinly masking sentiment of 'I want to beat the person responsible for providing me with this piece of shit equipment and asphyxiate the last of their precious life-breath with their own supple entrails."

Perhaps that's just me, but I sort of get that impression of her.

My God, that woman looks like Jack Nicholson as The Joker when she smiles. Creeeee-pyyyy!

Those magazines like FHM and Maxim are also completely retarded and perfectly fit for the frat-boy audience to which they cater. So thumbs down to Rachel for doing that shoot.

Thumbs up to a good pie now and again.

I once saw her make a sandwich on her show. She suggested that you can use a wide variety of breads. Condiments, too!

She's not terrible but I have a tendency to hate it when people explain the obvious. Which she does.

Doesn't she do that $40 a day show, where you have to eat in some city on ONLY $40 a day?
How hard would that be? You could eat at McDonalds 10 times on $40.
That is not any kind of a challenge. They only make it seem that way because she goes out and buys an $8 cocktail and then tips people, etc.
Crap. But better than Bobby Flay. I agree with Gulliver. That guy is the worst.

i like the fact that she's kind of fat because she's also very pretty and makes me feel better about things, like eating so much, but she's also kind of wildly annoying sometimes. like that whole AAHHHHH!!! thing. man, so much perk might kill me, but maybe she's just uncontainably fun. everytime i see her i expect to hear long chewbacca noises. the end. i'll probably watch her new show. i like whatever oprah likes now.
