Any one else watch Nadia G's B!tchin' Kitchen?

14 years ago

It is a fun and maybe a little bit crazy cooking show on the Cooking Channel. We watch it every week. Don't know if I would make any of the food she creates, tend to be on the spicy side, but get a laugh out of the show. What surprises me is my DH and DSon love to watch it too.

I used to watch it all the time when we had that channel. She's hilarious!

I do! When I first started watching her, she kinda irked me, but she grew on me. She is really hilarious and she cooks different kinds of food you don't see on a cooking show everyday. That said, I was bummed at the show where she "made" gnocchi. She didn't make it, just the sauce. I wanted to see her technique.

This thread is so interesting. So many varied interests and hobbies. Like many of you, I am way ore into home decorating than my friends or family. That is why I love GW. Pesky- I also am a rock nerd. I love rocks. I have a weakness for geology and when I was in Vegas, I had more interest in exploring Red Rocks than the Strip. I am running out of places to put the rocks & minerals I collect...DH and I are thinking of dedicating the library to our rocks. I pick them up everywhere I go, and DH and I gift one another with rocks. People just don't get our fascination. As the daughter of a geologist, I can completely relate. I too,love rocks and minerals and have many of them displayed in our home, as well as large ones outside that I just put in my garden. We just moved cross country, and the movers looked askance at me when I asked them to pack all of my large lava rocks and petrified wood from the front yard. Lol. My daughter is carrying on the family tradition.she often picks up interesting looking specimens and then asks my dad about them via skype.

White Bread Recipe from 1953 BH&G Cookbook?
Q
Comments (46)
Barbara, I've done a lot of bread searches, and found some interesting archives, lots of recipes of people's own childhood breads, but no clues about yours. What concerns me is the "My". The following words could actually say something like "Molly Jones shares her mother's famous egg bread." Otherwise, to me it seems more logical that it was your mother who said it, maybe even wrote it in the book. But it could be either way. My BH&G is newer than your mom's, but still old. There's one recipe called Egg Bread: 6.5-7.5 c. AP flour 2 packets ADY (equals 2 cakes fresh yeast, equals 4.5 tsp ADY) 2 c. milk 1/4 c. sugar 1/4 c. butter or margarine [N.B.--it does matter which for the texture, but either will make good bread.] 2 tsp. salt 3 eggs Two loaves, double rise, 375° F. 35-40 min., cover with foil last 15 minutes so it doesn't over brown. This is a very standard enriched bread. If you want a picture of the recipe with full directions let me know.

a2gemini: Our granite is juparana oro. The backsplash tile you see there is an inexpensive 4x4 porcelain tile. Sorry I don't remember the name but we got it at Lowes a few months ago, it is made in Italy and was $0.33/tile. It was on the shelves by all the tumbled marbled stuff that I think it's supposed to mimic. We mixed it with a tumbled marble noce pencil tile throughout: And with a few handmade tiles behind the range: Good luck with your remodel!

Do you think expensive watches are worth the price?
Q
Comments (50)
As has been said more eloquently already, everything is relative. Not everyone here at the Table is in the same income bracket; and not everyone that is in the same income bracket has the same recurring expenses -- for example, hubs and I don't have any kids, grandkids, or pets, so we have more disposable income than folks with the same income level with kids/grandkids/pets. If someone with less disposable income is frugal and sets aside money to buy something "expensive" why shouldn't he/she treat themselves to it? I'm going to be buying a new car within the next couple of months. Hubs has me deciding between a Mercedes C300, Lexus ES350, and a BMW 325i. I said that perhaps I didn't really need one of those three, and that I'd price out a Toyota Avalon (because I have always loved my Camry). Well, imagine my surprise when the Avalon priced out more than $2,000 higher than the Lexus. So, why should I not buy a Lexus just because some folks see it as an "overpiced Toyota with a superiority complex" when it's less expensive than a Toyota? As far as watches are concerned, yeah, I wear what some would consider an expensive watch (msrp is about $3,000). Not as expensive as a Rolex, though. It's a Tag Heuer, from the Link line: It's (in my opinion, anyway) not "flashy" or "attention getting." Hardly anyone realizes that it's a Tag Heuer - most folks think it's a Seiko! But this is the watch that I wanted because I like the quality of workmanship that goes into a Tag, and, most importantly, I like the looks of it. I also wear, right next to the watch, a diamond tennis bracelet that's over 5.5 carats. Retail price now would be somewhere between $20K to $25K. But it was a gift to me from my brother, and he paid significantly less than that to have it custom made for me 15 years ago (I have a brother-in-law who is a Certified Master Bench Jeweler). Yeah, there have been a couple of times that I've been nervous wearing it, but only a couple. Most people don't think it's real. :-)

I watch her occasionally, my hubby and daughters watch her every week. She is fun to watch. Sorta like the original Pee Wee Herman show on Saturday mornings with all the different characters, but for cooking. NancyLouise

She is fun to watch. By the way, that 'Jersey Girl' accent is a put on; she's from Montreal. Saw her on an episode of Andrew Zimmern's show, parleyvooing with her fellow Montrealers.

I had to look her up. I don't have that channel, but it looks kooky! In a good way.

Nadia is what would happen if Rocky Balboa and Brigitte Bardot had a baby.

I've only caught her show a few times, and it is entertaining. I especially admire a chick who can happily cook in killer heels.

You can even learn things from her show, like I did in this video about olive oil.

I don't get the Cooking channel, so I've never seen her show. I'm dismayed that the Food Network and HGTV sent all their how to shows to the higher priced cable package, at least, where I live that's the way it is.

I never watched Pee Wee. His show was after my time, and before (I think, or after) my kid's time, or they just never got interested in it. He was on last week's episode of Top Chef, for those that are interested.

The higher numbered channels are HD ones, at least for our TW cable company. I believe they get more money for those. The lower channels are local non-HD and crappy channels like jazzersize and sell your car ones. We watch cooking shows every day so we need beyond basic cable. NancyLouise
