Rachel Ray, you're a fucking genius! Iced tea for drinking! Who'da thunk?
Edited on Sat Dec-31-05 01:17 AM by Rabrrrrrr
I'm watching one her $40 a day shows, and she was at a restaurant, and she actually said this to the waitress:

"I'd like an iced tea." (pause) "To drink."

Really? You are fucking insane! And iced tea - to drink! You radical! You out-of-the-box thinker! No wonders you are on TV, you're a fucking genius! Someone send her another check.



On edit: although, now that I've thought about it, she's in Chattanooga, so maybe she prejudicely felt that she better clarify how she wanted the iced tea served, just to be sure.

2. your hatred of Rachel Ray brings a smile to my face everyday
"I'd like an iced tea, to drink" beats the alternative -

"I'd like an iced tea to stuff up Emeril's ass while I tapdance atop the grave of Julia Child after double-bubbling the Mythbusters during a taping of Iron Chef America where Marc Dacascos loses his mind and reverts to kung fu ninja tricks and destroys Kitchen Stadium after spending $39.50 on chicken and waffles leaving me only $.50 to get back to the fleabag, bedbug infested motel the producer thought was quaint because he was in a post masturbatory haze from watching Nigela Lawson create chocolate covered dildo grommets."

6. What you failed to mention . . . . was the tea "yummo" or not?
I swear between her being perkier than a coked up Simpson sister and utterances like "yummo" and "evoo, that's extra virgin olive oil just in case you didn't know so I'm calling it evoo to save time although every time I call it evoo to save time, I also call it extra virgin olive oil so I actually take up twice the time I would have had I just said it to fucking begin with and don't you just wanna dump that pot full of simmering hot dog chunks and beef gravy on my heaed?" I'm hard pressed to decide whether I want to drown her in a vat of yummo EEOO or take her to bed (because hey, she is kind of cute, but the personality is a definite deal breaker).

:evilgrin:

7. If she would STFU she could cook those meals in 15 mins
I've never seen a TV personality with such verbal diarrhea. Was she not hugged enough as a child?

9. I'm not certain...
but I think some iced tea is strong enough to remove tarnish from the silverware. But if it's unsweetened (I know, then it's not proper iced tea), maybe it's an alternate finger-dipping bowl?

14. Someone please tell me when and how
she became so popular? I just don't get it. It seems like she is everywhere--she did a book signing at our local Borders this past year, and people were in a line that extended outside of the store and around the block! :wow:

Where did she come from and how'd she get popular so fast?

I caught her once on the Food channel, interviewing (bothering) someone--I thought it was a lackluster and rather annoying interview and turned the channel. Next thing I know, she's everywhere. :shrug:

20. Well, I can't pick on her that much
I tend to say the same thing sometimes. Like, if I'm ordering a combo at a drive through I'll say something along the lines of, "I'd like a #1 with a Mountain Dew to drink" or "...for the drink". Yeah, there's no point in specifying something that obvious, but it's just a habit I developed.

Besides, I'm sure there are some other useful purposes for iced tea. I can't think of any at the moment, but I'm sure there are!

29. She is an idiot. In Chattanooga you have to order either "sweet tea" or
"iced tea, not sweet."

I loathe Rachel Ray. Nails on a chalkboard, that one.

32. i wonder that, too
Even if you're on the road and buying all your meals, it's easy to spend less than $40. Demanding that you have three full meals plus, the way she does on the show, would make it harder, though.

33. The deal is that she's traveling, and eating out 3x per day.
I can eat out for less than $40 per day anywhere too, but then I have simple tastes. :)

37. Very true.
If you choose your hotel wisely, you can get one with at least a kitchenette. That helps keep costs down. Believe me, I like traveling on a budget. :)

38. I was making "sammies"
and they were yum-oh! I just took a little EVOO, that's extra virgin olive oil--ya just have to eyeball it a little--and some garlic, about two cloves. Make sure you put the peel in your garbage bowl. It's easy to peel when you just hammer it a little bit with the side of your knife. I remember my grandpa taught me that trick. He used to call red wine vinegar "everyday vinegar" and we used to use it all the time. Cause you know in my family, we love everyday vinegar almost as much as we love garlic! And we are apple eaters from way back. You know I grew up in upstate New York, okay? And we used to go to apple orchards, my mom, my brother, and me, and we used to get bushels of apples and take them home and just eat them. But my mom used to make pies, too, but I don't do that because I don't like to bake. If I try to bake, it turns into apple stoup!

Now, my sweetie, he likes to bake sometimes, but I try not to be around. When he bakes, I just give an onion a rough chop and put it into the pan with the EVOO and the garlic, but you wanna be careful not to let the garlic in there too long because it might burn and it might get bitter. So then you take your lemon and you squeeze it with the cut side facing up so the seeds don't fall in. Heehee. It's deeee-lish!

Larry: "What's in this latte?"

But yeah, she's started working my nerves lately. I think when she got married, I started to realize how annoying she can be. She's still nice to look at though.
