Woo Hoo! Hells Kitchen: Season 6 Is Only A Day Away! 1

Posted on July 20, 2009 by Lisa

chefgordon

I don’t care what anybody says, Chef Gordon Ramsey is one of the best chefs out there!  I LOVE Chef Gordon Ramsey. He loves his kitchens to be spotless, his food to be perfect and his chefs to be the best!

He’s a tell-it-like-it-is kind-of person and I love that.  Yes, he screams at the top of his lungs when he doesn’t like a dish that you should be an expert on  and yes, he makes people feel like crap…

BUT,

if you don’t have to cook for him, he can be the sweetest guy you could ever meet (from what I’ve read ;) ).

Just in case you never seen Hell’s Kitchen or never heard about Chef Gordon Ramsey, check out this video from the very first season below:

And below is sneak peak from tomorrow’s episode:

So there you have it!! You either love him or hate him. As for my family and I, we LOVE him and we can’t wait!!

Oh man!! Season 6 is going to be GOOD!

Hell’s Kitchen premieres Tuesday, July 21 at 8:00-10:00 PM ET/PT on FOX.

Primodial Dwarfism

(The kids on the outisde have Primordial Dwarfism. The middle child is "normal".)

I was flipping thru channels and this show caught my attention.  It’s called “The smallest people in the world”.  It was a very interesting show.  My daughter and I stood up until 10pm to watch it.

United States of… 2

Posted on January 28, 2009 by Lisa

Tara is HILARIOUS!!! If you don’t have Showtime, then you should call your cable or satellite provider and order it because you are missing some serious laughs.  If you enjoy crazy comedy like me, then you’ll love this show.  You’ll laugh, be in “awe” and you’ll be left wanting more after the show ends – that’s how good the show is.

It’s about a mother and artist named Tara (Toni Collette), she’s been married to her husband Max (John Corbett) for 19 years and they have two children, Kate (Brie Larson) and Marshall (Keir Gilchrist).  She has Dissociative Identity Disorder, a.k.a. Multiple Personalities Disorder.  She recently got off her medication and now her personalities are back with a vengeance.  You’ll meet Buck; a beer-drinking, porn-watching male; T, a sex-crazed teenager and Alice, the prim and proper housewife.  She’ll changed into these “alters” whenever she gets stressed so you never know who will be next.

Showtime is offering the public a chance to view the first episode for free, for a limited time.  Just make sure there are no little ones around because it is rated MA.

How about some free pie? 1

Posted on September 27, 2008 by Lisa

If you will be in the NYC area on Monday, September 29th, then don’t miss out on The Mobile Pie Hole.  What’s a Mobile Pie Hole you might ask? Well, it’s a truck (sponsored by ABC) that’s traveling the country this month, giving away FREE pie to kick off the second season of Pushing Daisies.  The Mobile Pie Hole truck will be at Times Square with Good Morning America (Broadway Studios) from 7AM to 9AM this Monday morning.  The Mobile Pie Hole will be serving up free pie, pie-cutters, spatulas and more.

Below are all the places they visited:

  • Started in Los Angeles, CA
  • San Francisisco, CA
  • Las Vegas, NV
  • Phoenix, AZ
  • Denver, CO
  • Dallas, TX
  • Chicago, IL
  • Philadelphia, PA
  • Last Stop: New York City

If you don’t know about the show, you can read about it here.  I saw the first season and I really liked it.  It’s funny, creepy and full of drama.

Talk Shows 2

Posted on September 03, 2008 by Lisa

If you love Rachael Ray, than we have something in common.   I love all of her shows on the Food Network and I especially love her daytime show, The Rachael Ray Show.  So when I opened my emails yesterday, I was surprised to find out I was chosen to receive tickets to her show in NYC.  I couldn’t believe it.  I was so excited.  So I replied back to them with my information and waited for the confirmation email which I received today.  The only thing I was not prepared for was that its for tomorrow’s show.  Talk about last minute!  So I called my mom to see if she would babysit my 3 year old and she said yes.  So I guess I’m going to the city to see Rachael Ray!!!

Has anyone been to a talk show to see her or anyone else?  I would love to know!
