Watching the Food channel
My husband and I have really started to enjoy the Food Channel lately, some of our favorite shows are “Iron Chief”,”Dinner Impossible” and “Throw Down”. These shows are fun and sometimes inspire ideas to try. Dinner Impossible I like watching because it fun to watch him run around. Iron chief I enjoy because it fun to watch what the 2 competitors are doing, and trying to figure out how they not either freezing their fingers off, or burning them off. Throw down is fun because sometimes the challenges he faces, you just know there is no way he going to win.
One thing I do not like about all these shows sometimes is because it seems like everything has pork in it. One of these days I would love Iron Chief to do a all KOSHER episode, and see how good some of their great chiefs would do with this. Grant it their judges would need to have some knowledge. When I say kosher I don’t mean the Bless by Rabbi. I mean Old Testament Bible Kosher. I think this could be a fun competition.
I have noticed most Chiefs on the Cooking channel cook with mostly pork products or put them in just about everything. I have tried a couple ideas and substituted meats with other and it still worked.
Last night we were watching Throw Down and they had Sticky Sticky Buns. I hate to say this taste wise I would have preferred his because I do not like Pecans. My husband had a idea and that was to try to use Sunflower Seeds. I told him if you want me to try it I can. Personally I am thinking Sunflower seeds may not be good, but walnut would be good. I would probably like Almonds because those are a nut I like. I was thinking maybe Cashews would be good with them. Probably anything would almost work with sticky buns, depending on a person taste.
I love cooking, but I don’t think I would ever want to compete in cooking. I know I have plenty of friends who tell me I am a good cook. My best friend normally when she invites us over for dinner says stuff like it not as good as you would do.. I think she does just fine maybe she could use a few cooking lessons. My mom and Grandma where both very good cooks, and I used to help both of them when I lived with them. My mom lost me as a kid, but one thing I remember about my mom is she could Cook. I will never figure out why she did not become a chief because she has the talent. My Grandma cooks very good, When I lived with her during part of High School I used to help her cook for her Work Parties. I loved helping Grandma cut up all the vegis and other ingredient. Now when I have questions because I forgot a Ingredient I will call either Mom or Grandma and talk to them.
