Wednesday on The Rachael Ray Show, Rach and football legend Joe Montana prepare an indoor tailgating party.
Thursday on The Martha Stewart Show, Nathan Lane stops by. He and Martha make a Beef Tenderloin.
Friday on Take Home Chef, Curtis prepares a Slow-Cooked Leg of Lamb and Vine-Roasted Tomatoes served with fresh Tagliatelle, an Onion Tart Tatine, and for dessert, Goat Cheese with a Balsamic Vinegar Reduction.
Saturday on Tyler's Ultimate, Tyler demonstrates the ultimate Prime Rib, and to go with it, Creamed Spinach, Crispy and Creamy New Potato Pie and Candied Carrots.
Sunday on Semi-Homemade Cooking with Sandra Lee, treat yourself to the notorious holiday show in which Aunt Sandy makes a "Kwanzaa Celebration Cake" that consists of a store-bought angel food cake, canned apple pie filling, popcorn and Corn Nuts. You have to see it to believe it.
Oh, lord, CORN NUTS? What will she think of next? I agree--I have to watch just to believe it really happens.
I've recently fallen in love with Take Home Chef. It took me a while to get over Curtis's rakish Australian charm and odd applications of eyeshadow, but now I'm a diehard fan. (By the by, that's not a jab against men who wear eyeshadow; that's a jab against Curtis who sometimes wears bad 1980's rockband eyeshadow). Mostly I love to critique these ladies he manages to pick up in the market (Curtis is a fan of the ladies--does he EVER pick up a guy?!) and mutter things to myself like, "If Curtis ever bothered to stop by MY grocery store, I'D do something more clever than giggle and put on a tube top." Seriously, Curtis. Stop&Shop. Brookline, Massachusetts. 10:00. Every Sunday. Seriously.
