Barefoot Contessa Gets Burned

Food Network star Ina Garten, a.k.a. the “Barefoot Contessa,” is feeling the burn, but it’s not from logging extra miles on a treadmill. Obviously. Rather, the celebrity chef got scorched earlier this week when she was forced to down a huge helping of humble pie during the latest chapter of her Make-a-Wish Foundation debacle. As you remember from my previous post, Garten got herself into quite a pickle last month when she TWICE turned down a 6-year-old cancer patient’s request to meet her. The highfalutin Food Network star was then virtually flogged by millions of fans, who took to the … Continue reading →

Food Network Favorites

My husband and I are once again contemplating getting rid of our cable television service. The cost for the service seems to be getting out of control. And when you add in all that we pay for connectivity, be it for cable television or Internet, the cost per month is more than I used to pay for rent! While talking about it, the two of us and our oldest son discussed whether or not we would miss cable television. “We never really watch it,” our son said shrugging. “Well, except for the Food Network.” I never thought that I would … Continue reading →

The Food Plan: Organizing a Year of Sustainable Food

I am known as something of an organizational nutcase. This is fine by me. I like being a resource person. When my daughter was a baby, I decided that we needed both a financial and a sustainable overhaul of our food sources. I wanted to be able to eat healthy, organic, and local food, and I wanted to do it on a limited budget. At the time I was not working, and things were quite tight. I’m sure that many of you can relate. Today, I have personal connections with a number of local farms and farmers, and I am … Continue reading →
