I was down a YouTube rabbit hole of NJ after show interviews and I also in general watch a lot of cooking videos on YouTube, which is probably how I saw in among the up next list a Turkish cooking show. The thumbnail looked like Jennifer. Apparently it was. There are several episodes and were posted in 2011. The descriptions are in Turkish but the show gives me a public access not an Internet show vibe. She's so toned down personality wise . I can see Bill being married to this Jennifer. https://youtu.be/3ApidRst6vk Anyone else notice around the 5:00 mark, right after Jennifer talks about how important a clean kitchen is, she takes her hands that have just been mixing raw meat, wipes them on a dish towel, then keeps on going touching everything else? Is e.coli a popular part of Turkish cooking too? 3 6 Link to comment

Hiyo February 16, 2020 Share February 16, 2020 (edited) Well, they do have some meat dishes in the Levant that are tartare... As an example, this dish is popular in both Lebanon and Syria: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kibbeh_nayyeh Edited February 16, 2020 by Hiyo 1 Link to comment
SoCal4Us February 16, 2020 Share February 16, 2020 I think Jennifer demonstrated two types of Turkish meatballs - pan fried and tartare. 1 Link to comment
BrindaWalsh February 17, 2020 Share February 17, 2020 There are a few different ways to make kibbeh. Kibbeh nayyeh is eaten raw - ground and mixed with bulgur wheat and spices. You eat it with pita bread and olive oil and sometimes with some onion. It is generally served as an appetizer. Consider it middle eastern steak tartare. Baked kibbeh is basically the same mix as kibbeh nayyeh, maybe with some pine nuts thrown in, and baked. Pieces are usually cut into triangles. You can have it as part of a mezze course or as a main dish. The turkish "meatballs" are kibbeh balls. You take the kibbeh mixture and form into boat or half football shape, fill it with a ground mixture of lamb, pine nuts and onion and then close off the boat or other half of the football shape with the kibbeh mixture. This kibbeh is fried. I've never seen the kibbeh balls served raw, although different cultures do things differently. What i outlined are the three traditional ways of doing kibbeh from a lebanese or syrian standpoint (keep in mind lebanon didn't exist as an independent country until the 1940s) 2 2 Link to comment

I mean, what are seeing this season is just another example of the Gorgas using the shortcomings of Giudice to prop themselves. But Joe Gorga is equally gross. Just because Juicy is an ass doesn't make Gorga a saint. What's worse? The verbal abuse of Joe Giudice or constantly being manhandled and badgered for sex, even when you clearly aren't interested, having to apologize or make constant excuses to your angry and pissed off husband for NOT wanting sex one night, being used for an outlet for anger through sex (remember JoeGo and his statement that when he gets angry with Tre he goes home for sex with Melissa? Wth?), being denigrated for your career in front of your children, just to name a few? I could see where neither man is a gem to bring home to mom. 7 Link to comment

Neither are going to make you very happy, but in very different ways. I think Teresa got the better deal though- at least her gross spouse has been exiled to another continent. I have no idea what Melissa sees in Joe Gorga. He's short. He's not that attractive. He's a misogynist. He's trying to turn their sons into misogynists. He's trying to narrow his daughter's options down to a single one- homemaker. And, to bring it back to the thread topic, he lies about flipping houses and then attempts to place all the blame onto his social media manager. 6 Link to comment

If you want to go to where the Housewives spend their vacation, make your way further north to Point Pleasant and hang out at Jenkinson's Beach where they were this past episode, head to LBI to possibly spot Tre & the Gang or Seaside, not to far from Melissa's stomping grounds of Toms River. 2 4 Link to comment

Gigi43 February 28, 2020 Share February 28, 2020 (edited) I watched WWHL and I think I'm traumatized. Actually I know I am. Andy mentioned Joe Gorga has a stand up show! But wait... it's worse. Marge said she saw it and Joe mainly tells 'funny' stories about his life, specifically sexual stories starting when he's four. FOUR. FOUR! If it were anyone else I'd wonder if this could possibly mean he was abused, as hypersexualization can be a result. But it's Joe. He probably sat around with Frank making whatever the story is up thinking it's hilarious. Marge spared us and didn't elaborate as to what it was. But the damage is done.

Gigi43 March 3, 2020 Share March 3, 2020 (edited) Teresa calls Jaq and Caroline Evil and Money Hungry A quote from the article from Showbiz Cheatsheet: Quote Giudice recently wanted to make one thing clear: she wasn’t friends with Manzo or her sister in law, Jacqueline Laurita. Giudice shared how she felt with E News and claimed both Laurita and Manzo were only after money. “If they both come back, it’s because they need the money,” Giudice said about the possible return of Manzo and Laurita. “But whatever, bring it on. I could give two s**ts if they come back or they don’t.” Giudice added, “[Manzo] is a money-hungry b*tch” and was just doing things for the show. She added, “Do I want to reconcile being friends with them again? No. They’re both evil people and I really don’t want to have anything to do with evil people. But if I have to give them a piece of my mind, I will.” She adds Manzo and Laurita are “nasty people” and feels slighted by Manzo. Jaq probably is desperate for money if Chris hasn't found another company to loot from out west, but, unless the Brownstone is tanking, Teresa needs to STFU about Caroline looking for a money grab since the Manzo's would be fine with or without the show. Unlike Teresa who did the commercial with someone she deems evil for a money grab. I feel like the questions about Caroline come out at the end of every season so its probably meaningless. After the "piece of my mind" comment I imagine Teresa then pondering "but wait if I don't like someone why would I want them to have a piece of it" ala Kelly Bundy.

It’s not a subject I find endlessly fascinating or entertaining so this could be coloring my perception, also I don’t particularly like Jackie (I don’t hate her, but I’m not a fan). Anyway, they seem a little weight obsessed as a couple and I don’t find it to be nearly as positive and healthy as Jackie seems to. All of their talks to their kids about “good food” and “bad food” seemed a little off to me. Like just a lot of focus on controlling food in a house where it doesn’t seem like anyone has a weight related health issue. But if it makes them happy I guess... 5 Link to comment
