I can't stop thinking about a Martha-Ree cooking segment: Martha:  (Carefully measuring 3 3/19ths cups of artisan-made, stone ground flour into a fuschia KitchenAid mixer painted with a cowgirl o

Yes it can be done! After puttering around in my kitchen a few days, I've created a 5 ingredient/16 minute meal from an old family recipe: 2 slices rye bread 1/4 lb. thinly sliced ham

That's when Ree gets the kids to help her remember exactly which cookbook she stole which recipe from:)

Yep - hence all the meals she freezes but never pulls out. She could at least say, like during the Merc opening - I've been so busy here so I pulled out this meal from the freezer and here is how I made it. Snicker. 

The only thing I have not seen her do is add jalepenos to a PBandJ sandwich.

Peanut butter & jalapeno jelly actually sounds kind of good -- or just peanut butter & jalapeno peppers (like peanut butter & dill pickles). Surely this has already been done by someone?  Though that wouldn't stop her from copying, probably without attribution.

I'm bothered by the command "EAT" over the sink.  What, does it double as a trough?  Pioneer Woman inspired, indeed.

I'm so over words as decor. I don't need to be told to eat, cook, organize, wash, dream, launder, primp, sleep, or be family. I may just have to do words that say "SHUT UP!"

Tvvoodoo, may I borrow "my brain just broke?" That's just genius!!

I've stolen it from elsewhere, so yup. :) And Ree keeps breaking my brain.

I understand that both can be hard to keep looking nice.  One reason I haven't redone my kitchen yet is that I'm still waiting for self-cleaning floors to be perfected.

If you do, share please? Three dogs here, 1 now elderly (in my icon). I'm not replacing carpeting until she goes to the rainbow bridge, and I'm not gonna hurry that day.

 My brain is gonna break if Ree doesn't stop with the mash-ups.  I'm convinced she's doing it to be able to say that she originated the idea (even though she claimed it was the big thing right now).  That idea is old as the hills.  It's called "substitutions."  Nancy Fuller just did another one the other day, but hers made sense.  Ree will take anything but dirt and put it together with anything else.  She's so nuts about kale and puts it into everything that I dread her test of ragweed or some other high-pollen weeds.  It's only a matter of time.

What I wouldn't have given to see Ree hit a stray steer crossing the road, as she's distractedly driving through the ranch yammering on about how much cowboys love their eggs.  In my mind, I was seeing something Monty Pythonesque, with a cow flying end-over-end with an exaggerated "moooooooo" and visibly landing on the road behind her (as seen through her rear window).  Ree unfazed, blathering about egg-in-the-hole.

Yes, enough with mashups. I can't believe Food Network finds this to be acceptable.

Wow, today's episode was a bit more phoned-in than usual.  I also noticed the nail-biter in the first scene, where she was driving down the road, talking into the dash cam.  That was so nerve-wracking to watch that I could barely pay attention to her Botoxed grimace and waaay overly lined eyes.  It's beyond time for her to dial back the eye makeup.

Oh, and Ree?  My daughter could make egg-in-a-hole when she was in third grade.  Give me a break, woman.

He is and I can't stand it. Whenever I tune in and see his face I can't change the channel fast enough. Between his voice *shudder* and the gawd awful fat laden junk he passes off as food, he is the worst thing to happen to the world of cooking in a long time.

Several years ago, DDD came to the Kansas City area to film a segment. A (deceased) friend of mine happened to be at one of the burger joints Guy was visiting. She said he had an entourage and he and another guy were hitting on some young women. My friend said that Guy was pretty standoffish and unfriendly to those around him. She wasn't impressed.

However ... not too long after that, a complete Guy doppleganger showed up at a Royals game. People (including the local media) actually thought it was Guy. I guess the person kinda played in "character" for a while, then fessed up. So, I don't know if my friend saw the real deal or his double. Doesn't matter. One is bad enough.

I finally saw a new episode. It was the one where she abuses and tortures innocent eggs. She goes on and on about how the cowboys lurve her and her amazing cooking. I wouldn't be surprised if she commissions a statue of herself in downtown Pawhuska.

Hahaha.  That would be amazing.  Rather that people ceremonially spray painting her statue, they can festoon it in ugly, flowy blouses!

I wish these cooking shows would stress planning out your cooking, especially mise en place. You end up using fewer dishes and streamline the whole process. Especially when the audience at home doesn't have the benefit of a staff to wash their dishes and clean the kitchen.

I'll give PW one compliment and say that I do like how she does an episode or a few on bulk cooking and freezing. It's a basic common sense sort of thing if you're busy, have four kids going every which way, a day job (that isn't that of "blogger"), other responsibilities, and do frequently give food to neighbors, extended family, friends, and the like.

I do this with everything I cook/bake.  I have a small kitchen and it makes it much easier to have everything prepped before starting.

I had a student worker who worked with GF at a food truck/stand at a fair some years ago and this sweet young girl who I never heard cuss said he was an asshole.

I watched Ree's "Spring" show today and, of course, I got enraged.  She again reminded us that the men in her family will not touch her Pasta Primavera because it doesn't have meat in it.  Why is eating meat a male thing, but her girls don't demand meat in all their meals?  Methinks some hardcore gender role brainwashing went on in that house.  

Then Ree told how her boys won't help her with gardening.  I'm paraphrasing, but her reason for that is that "they like to see grass".  We all know the real reason - Ladd doesn't think that tending to delicate little plants/picking herbs is a manly thing.  She then begged her girls to always help her with her garden, to which both girls mumbled a very low-energy "yes".  Ugh - more gender foolishness.  You'd think that 1) it's 2017 and b) as a college graduate, Ree would leave all those views out of her show.  

Gosh, why does the sing-songy voice she uses to her kids make my teeth grind?  She speaks to them like they're still little kids - talk to them like the young adults they are.  To finish my rant... the older boy is getting really husky.  Guess he's gonna take after Ree.

I don't get her fandom with young women.  You would think all of the above would be a huge turn off.

A while back she made welsh rarebit and I remember a conversation about the Stouffer's version of it. I've seen it a million times in the grocery store, but never bought it. I bought one the other night, but now I don't know what to do with it. Is it meant to put it on toast like she did? That's how it seems to be pictured on the box too.

Okay, I tried it today, not a fan. I've never liked Melba toast and didn't know that was how it was traditionally served anyway, but I did have Italian bread I got from the Italian deli and that gets pretty hard when toasted, so closest I was getting. I just couldn't bring myself to completely drown the toast and a little went a long way. I can see how it would have had it's place as a trendy food back in it's day though. It tasted like dry mustard powder and I'm not a big mustard person. I can say I tried it now, so there's that.

I've never had the Stouffers product, but I have made Welsh Rarebit from scratch, mixing Guinness Stout & Worcestershire sauce with the cheese, served over toasted English muffins (sometimes with a poached egg on top) -- the rest of the bottle of Guinness should accompany the dish.   Good stuff. 

That sounds delicious.  If you have a recipe, 3PWOOD, I'd love to try yours. I've had Welsh rarebit on my mind since Ree's episode and have wanted to make it again.

I was so relieved to see that he had a growth spurt recently.  I would have felt so bad for him if he'd been doomed to be the short pudgy boy next to his two looming, lanky sisters.  With that family's mindset, being smaller than a girl would have been tough to handle.

I've never strictly followed a recipe, anneofcleves -- pretty much like Alton Brown's, with adjustments.  Such as undiluted evaporated milk rather than cream (because it's cheaper), & powdered Coleman mustard rather than prepared Dijon (because it's on hand), amounts of everything to taste.  And I do prefer English muffins to rye bread for this.  Pretty much can't fail if you're suiting your taste.

The website "Pure Wow" has featured 17 of Ree's recipes, describing them as 'easy, quick and delicious'.  The pictures do make them look pretty inviting, nothing like the swill that she slings on her show.  I peeked at a couple and, surprisingly, most of them are not loaded with butter, cream or sugar.  I think the Potatoes Au Gratin is the one that goes overboard with the dairy, but the others look pretty tasty.  The writer of this article picked some good stuff.  https://tinyurl.com/n4uv2ot

I wonder why Ree seems to veer to the calorie bombs on her program?

Ree seems to enjoy pointing to her bulbous stomach and explain it by reminding us, ad nauseum, that she has four kids.  Yes, Ree, like we don't know by now.  Sure, pregnancy adds a little bulk down there, but if you ask me, Ree's abdominal overload is filled with chocolate, sprinkles and anything with bourbon in it. 

Lots of dairy products too.

I watched the maiden episode of her show on Food Network because I hadn't yet realized how badly she's faking her "lifestyle", & how many of her "recipes" are common knowledge to everyone born in America after the end of WWII.  I was appalled & sickened by the scenes of cows being (in my view) mistreated, & that's the primary reason I couldn't bring myself to watch again -- by now, I fully understand that it would be a waste of my time in addition to an assault on my sensibilities.

I think Ree's vegetarian days were nothing more than an attempt to live what she thought was the California lifestyle.  Another stab of fakery. 

After suffering through today's episode with me, my husband's reaction was that Ree must have plenty of time on her hands to stand around making Marshmallow-Rice Crispy Easter eggs.  I never cared for those cookies, even as a child.  They were too sweet  for me.  Sometimes I actually feel sorry for Ree's "friends" in Pawhuska and the sh** they put up with, especially when she comes to their doors with junk and her saccharine little preachings about the meaning of hot cross buns on Good Friday.

I think she has some horses that might be mistreated too & what makes it worse is that it is on the government dime.  They are paid to "care" for the horses.
