As starving college students, my roommates and I went in on a set of Ginsu knives - cheap but sharp, plastic handles.  We used them for years, divvied them up when we graduated.  Fast forward to my marriage several years later - a set of Henckel knives as a wedding present.  Its like the difference between using a penny to tighten a screw vs a screwdriver.  A penny can do the job - but the screwdriver does it better, doesn't make your hand cramp up, and has that "right tool for the job" aura.

so.

when Phillipe said that celebrities get "koo-koo on beer," I realized that he is basically the same as my friend Kate. weird.

and in this situation what does tang mean?

The tang is the part of a knife that extends into the handle.  Full tang means that it conforms to the shape of the handle, like in the picture below:



The best knives to get are, as mentioned above, forged full tang knives.


If you were asking what tang means in the context of what Bill Clinton wants, it means "vagina".

It sounds like he's just going to scare her. If he could make her stop saying "1 turn around the pan" that would be awesome.

And referring to "EVOO"

I think her recipes are tasty though.  Plus she's easy on the eyes.

[CortJstr]

For an ethnic broad with a voice like a chainsaw hitting nails she does surprisingly OK.

And yeah, that EVOO thing is a pisser.

If Nice Pete is just going to scare her a little, I'd like to see the recipe that comes of it. So far we know hands and thigh meet are open possibilities.

She should totally hook up with Dr. Girlfriend.

Nothing on Téodor's latest masterpiece?

I find Rachael Ray incredibly annoying in nearly anything she does, but I can't find it in my heart to hate her for it.

Plus she's easy on the eyes.

See, I totally don't get this.  This is one of those I Will Never Understand Men things.  When I turn on the TV for Alton Brown a few minutes too early and she is still on, I shriek aloud with pain. She is so awful and annoying in every possible way.

[jaydub]

Possibly it may have to do with me never actually having heard her speak.  I just look at her chipmunk cheek grin and it makes me smile.

...Like a man with diphtheria who raises his nose at the latest antitoxin mushed up from Anchorage. (from http://chrisonstad.blogspot.com/2007/06/golf-memoir-no-6-going-modern.html)

Jesus H. Christo, Onstad gets a tiny can from me straight from rural Alaska for this simile. Hell of awesome.

When I turn on the TV for Alton Brown a few minutes too early and she is still on, I shriek aloud with pain. She is so awful and annoying in every possible way.

She is deeply annoying.

However, in small doses, she is the archetype of... the one cheerleader in high school who was passingly polite to the nerdy guys because they wouldn't judge her on the fact that she had a few screws loose herself. The one cheerleader that all the nerdy guys all thought they might have a chance with if she would just get to know the REAL them.

As time has passed and as you watch her in larger chunks, yes, she has become and does become a fetid ball of catchphrases and extremely poorly-advised attempts at putting blonde highlights into the hair of an Italian woman in her later thirties...

But for Guys Of A Nerd Persuasion, she is and will always be the one cute girl in high school who occasionally laughed at our nerd jokes and therefore as long as we only see her in small doses, we will lust for her forever. It is that simple.

We are that simple.

The key to understanding men is to not overthink the situation.

Ninety-nine times out of a hundred, and sometimes this is in a good way and sometimes this is in a bad way, the most obvious explanation, the suspiciously almost-too-easy explanation of our motivations will be the correct interpretation.

Don't outthink the room trying to figure out a dude.

The first uncomplicated theory you come up with will probably be the truth.

[wombat]

The first uncomplicated theory you come up with will probably be the truth.

You say this but...

A. The only uncomplicated theory I could come up with was 'she has a (female sex organ which board filters won't let me type),' which doesn't adequately distinguish her from anyone else,

B. Your theory is pretty damn complicated itself. But it kind of makes sense... From the female point of view she's that kind of girl who isn't actually that attractive but is so convinced that she is that with a combination of self confidence and makeup, guys are convinced she is desireable. But deep down you know she isn't so you think you might have a chance with her.

[CortJstr]

I fricking hate blind Youtube links. Especially at work.

[smick]

I actually saw her for the first time ever today.

I think the reason men find her attractive is that she does the following:

1) Wears a skirt, heels, and stockings, while sitting on a stool.
2) She stuck her tongue out in a way I think fellows would find sensual.

I have no personal opinion on her.   In attempting to form one, I have come to this.

She is the celebrity chef I would most likely choose to have sex with, were they all lined up.  This is after I discovered that the show "Barefoot Contessa" had nothing to do with the subject of foot fetish.

[Carlos del Vaca]

I fricking hate blind Youtube links. Especially at work.

Likewise.  I was hoping someone here would post what all the songs are, so I don't have to click them all.

Rachael Ray opinion:  Can't stand to watch her shows, but her cookbooks aren't half-bad.  She's cute, but she doesn't have an ounce of sexy in her entire body.
