4. Thing is, I do like her culinary ideas....
most of her stuff is very quick and easy and looks pretty good...

BUT...... she needs to be given a valium before each taping. AND her "$40 per day" series that promotes tips of a quarter or less is a slap in the face to the service industry, and she should know better.

5. The person who invented a long-ass word like "vegetable" should be shot.
It's only cool when that Klingon says it in "Errand Of Mercy."

9. I just don't like it. It sounds like baby talk, and people use it all the time even
when they're not talking to children.

8. Gutshot.
.410, #8 birdshot.

And also the *VERY* disturbed individual that coined "hubby". Makes me actually shudder. :scared:

Wd be grounds for divorce if my spouse uttered it.

10. I'm in absolute agreement.
Previously I had never heard it outside of parents telling their kids to "eat your veggies!" But now it's everywhere like it's some kind of legitimate word.
