46. Not mad at "Pauler" at all.

Jan 2012

At least about the diabetic part. Her hucksterism is disconcerting, though. I heard a few years ago that she was diabetic, so I wasn't really shocked when she said she was. I am kind of surprised at the poutrage, though. While you cannot get Type II diabetes from eating fatty or sugary foods, I think anybody with half a brain would know that she does not cook healthy food, and that you cannot eat like that all the time.

I don't like Guy Fieri, I think he's an idiot, but I do like Diners, Drive-ins, and Dives. I've eaten at a couple of the restaurants he has featured, and they were both excellent. I hope to visit others.

My favorite chef is Elie Krieger. She makes healthy food that is excellent and looks good. She acts like a normal person, too! Her show is on @ 8:00 am CST on the Cooking Channel.
