I love PW's website/blog! I have made many of her recipes and ALL of them have been really good. I am also a fellow Okie, and have enjoyed learning how to make classic okie food with a Ree boost of goodness! She knows how to take those few extra steps and make a dish that much better... Like making your own cream of chicken instead of canned. I'm in my late 20's and have been married for only a couple of years, so I enjoy being able to learn different techniques that my mother really didn't teach me... Her being in the generation of everything being convenient and canned for the working woman. Hopefully PW loosens up in the next few episodes, though. She seemed nervous and a bit too scripted. Punkinhead, I also consider myself somewhat sophisticated and not gullible.... And I also know that Obama really is the president. I don't think I've ever met anyone in the last 3 years that thought he wasn't??? Not sure where you live in Oklahoma... Maybe a rural area? PS- Pawhuska, OK (Where PW lives) is only 52 miles from Tulsa. You can definitely find pancetta and wild mushrooms in Tulsa!

Ree Drummond, The Pioneer Woman, has a one-half hour cooking show on the Food Network. It airs on Saturday mornings, so if saw it tonight you saw a re-run. This is her second season doing it, and it looks like there will be a "next season," too. I think it's fun how she includes her family and friends, and that it isn't just "another chef spending the entire time in the kitchen."

She made six shows, so will have four more shows which run on Saturday mornings.

I like Ina as well. A very classy lady and an excellent chef. Her recipe books are very well done, beautifully illustrated, instruct on classical techniques and have a huge range of wonderful recipes. I have tried many and have liked them all. I also like Ree Drummond and many of her recipes as well, but a completely different sort of cooking. I have trouble with Giada - looks like she overdid the botox and what's with that phony Italian accent?? And I don't honestly understand the logic behind other celebrities with cooking shows - what makes Trisha Yearwood, Patricia Heaton or Valerie Bertinelli qualified to host a cooking show??
