You seem to have a profound familiarity with that which you claim to disdain.

[Deja Q]

9. Is that before or after she vomited?

[Catshrink]

12. That woman is evil incarnate.

My butt grows two pant-sizes whenever I watch her cook. Her Lemon Blossoms are the bomb. (I make them as a cake sometimes to save time.)



Lemon Blossoms

Ingredients:
18 1/2 ounce package yellow cake mix
3 1/2 ounce package instant lemon pudding mix
4 large eggs
3/4 cup vegetable oil

Directions:
Glaze: 4 cups confectioners' sugar
1/3 cup fresh lemon juice
grated zest of 1 lemon
3 tablespoons vegetable oil
3 tablespoons water

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.

Spray miniature muffin tins with vegetable oil cooking spray. Combine the cake mix, pudding mix, eggs and oil and blend well with an electric mixer until smooth, about 2 minutes. Pour a small amount of batter, filling each muffin tin half way. Bake for 12 minutes. Turn out onto a tea towel.

To make the glaze, sift the sugar into a mixing bowl. Add the lemon juice, zest, oil, and 3 tablespoons water. Mix with a spoon until smooth.

With fingers, dip the cupcakes into the glaze while they're still warm, covering as much of the cake as possible, or spoon the glaze over the warm cupcakes, turning them to completely coat. Place on wire racks with waxed paper underneath to catch any drips. Let the glaze set thoroughly, about one hour, before storing in containers with tight-fitting lids.

Yield: 5 dozen
Prep time: 10-12 minutes
Inactive prep time: 1 hour

18. WTF? I was talking about eating the sammich.

Not Paula Deen. Are you insane?

[MajorChode]

25. You want a sammich with her as the meat?

I guess you're bringing a friend.

Not my thing, but I'm not knocking it.

[Lex]

28. Reading is fundamental.

[MajorChode]

32. Ah, but reading between the lines is a beautiful thing

Sometimes, anyway.

[Kali]

17. eww - avocado and fried egg together?

not me. leave the egg off and that sounds pretty good

[Tuesday Afternoon]

19. yes. No egg is needed.

[csziggy]

21. Leave off the egg and butter, change the bread to rye and it's a Santa Fe BLT!

Rats - I have everything I need except for the bacon.

[lildreamer316]

20. I would modify it thusly:

The bacon would be turkey bacon, and I would microwave it and dab the grease off it. 70% less fat,and I loooooove turkey bacon.
I would regular-toast the bread w/out butter; or maybe just a veeeeery small amount melted and spread on it in the toaster oven.
I'd use lowfat or fat-free cream cheese.
I don't really like eggs on a sandwich, so I would leave them off. Maybe.

I'd also use whole-grain wheat or locally-made grain bread, of course.

I think it would still be pretty yummy.

[Shell Beau]

23. Sounds yummy to me!

:9


And I love Paula Deen. No one says to eat her food on a daily basis.

[gbate]

24. Always thought a BLT needed more fat to make it edible.

[wininboy]

26. WTF!!

No mayonaise

[seemunkee]

27. Watched he make a breakfast pizza this weekend

A pancake with cream cheese and tomato sauce topped with scrabbled eggs, bacon and cheese placed in the oven to melt the cheese then served with maple syrup and butter.
If I hadn't been riding on my trainer while watching I would have gained weight by osmosis through the TV.

29. I like that you watch shows about food while exercising.
