CharlizeCat June 30, 2018 Share June 30, 2018 Oh, not this 16-minute meal crap again. At least she didn't time them this time. After watching today's show, I am convinced more than ever that Ree has spies on this board. 1. She mentioned adding "too many ingredients" 2. She admitted that she doesn't pronounce bruschetta or bal-SAM-ick properly. She said she would work on the former. What does that say? 3. She made a comment about wearing her "party top" and couldn't get her sleeves dirty. The food looked dull. Why did the salad and the mega-kebabs need two separate dressings? One or the other would have sufficed for both. ITA on the flatbread. Again, who goes to all that trouble to make a single-serving lunch for themselves? I looked at all of the dishes and pans she was dirtying up just to make one flatbread. I can see adding a little pesto to top vegetables but why drown them in pesto cream sauce? And she kept adding and adding and adding ingredients. Pesto cream over kale sounds revolting. I switched off during the bruschetta segment. Who cares? Did she ever explain what she did with the remaining half of the lime? I am bad to think that Missy didn't look so good today. She looked like she came directly from working outside in the sun and went straight to Ree's house. (Maybe she did.) 5 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/3691-all-episodes-talk/page/68/#findComment-4455231

patty1h July 1, 2018 Share July 1, 2018 Pretty sure that avocado cream is a blend of mashed/pureed avocado and sour cream or Mexican crema. Some cooks add lime juice, cilantro, garlic, etc. - depends on who's making it. I had it for the first time at a Mexican restaurant, had no idea what it was, just a little cup of smooth green creaminess. It was delish. 2 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/3691-all-episodes-talk/page/68/#findComment-4455553
Lura July 1, 2018 Share July 1, 2018 (edited) I was down on this recipe from the start. Don't put shrimp near my chili, and don't put chili near my shrimp! Then, Ree -- per usual -- doesn't know where to stop. I don't personally care for avocados, but most people do, so that was OK, but the combination of the avocado crema, pineapple, shrimp and pepper jack was vomit-inducing for me. It was as if she started out with one idea and then switched midway to another idea. It just didn't work.

Lura July 3, 2018 Share July 3, 2018 I think this show goes down as my least favorite (food wise) of all of Ree's shows. It absolutely reeked of desperation. Did you notice how often she exclaimed about something being wonderful or delicious or tempting? She really sells that crap she's making, as if she thinks (or knows) that her audience is a buncha dimwits who'll believe anything. There's really nothing wrong with a zucchini waffle. It tastes like zucchini bread and is a good way to get vegetable fiber into the kids. But then, she takes it too far, per usual, by adding essentially frosting on the waffles. That would be so cloyingly sweet that it would make some people vomit. And those poor kids act like trained seals, smiling broadly while perusing their plates and praising Mama's cooking as "looking great." Ree is treading on thin ice. Her recipes have become predictable and repetitious. I, for one, am sick to death of her constant grin showing every capped tooth in her mouth. She's taken smiling lessons from Giada, I suspect. As viewers, we deserve someone better, someone who doesn't pretend to be a silly teenager who has her own cooking show and fools around making up recipes.

Lura July 4, 2018 Share July 4, 2018 (edited) HAPPY 4th OF JULY, GANG!!! I suppose Ree has been busy on the ranch with the annual Drummond celebration of the 4th, and Ree has made her sickeningly sweet peach cobblers. While I can't speak for anyone else here, the idea of fuzzy peach skins floating around in my sauce is enough to keep me from having seconds. Come to think of it, I'd avoid the first round as well. Why doesn't she peel her peaches? Because she doesn't want to. Take it or leave it. Not content with the goopy sweet syrup and the yummy fuzzy peach skins, Ree has to finish the topping with her special sweet crumble of sugar, flour and butter, emphasis on the sugar. I half expected her to gild the lily with a zigzag pattern of drizzled white icing, but she must have been in a rush. She left her telltale signature zigzag off. Thank God for small favors. Pass the lemonade, please. We need something tart before we gag. And a Happy 4th to all you poor Pawtuskans who are suffering from sugar overload! Cheer up. The 4th only comes once a year!

THEN, she poured melted chocolate over the mess and re-stirred it for another hour, trying to get it together. It was one, sticky glob of sweetness. With great effort, she shoved the glob into a plastic bag. By then, even God was getting angry. She took a box of confectioner's sugar and POURED IT into the bag on top of all the glop, sealed the bag. and shook it for dear life! AARGH! Everything in the bag turned white, even the globs of chocolate. She pounded this disaster out onto a sheet tray, added a few pretzels, and took the mess upstairs to the kids. Of course, SHE hung around to dig in herself, exclaiming that this was just about her favorite snack and that she makes it every Christmas. She claims that the kids love it, too.

I've seen Ree demonstrate the double-dip flour glop technique before. And, my response has always been, "Why, God? Why?" IMO, a sleepover with four kids just begs for carry-in pizza. Oh, I forgot, they are out in the "middle of nowhere.*" Well, then, I am sure Ree has her handy stash of frozen pizza dough on call and can whip up cowboy and cowgirl pizzas. *Maybe that's why Ladd is opening up his own pizza joint?

Sounds like a poisonous veg/fruit infusion that strips the enamel off your teeth -- Not that Ree has anything to worry about with those capped Chiclets in her All-American Cheeseburger Gummy Bears No-Knead Carrot Pudding Slaw hole. Did I read somewhere in this forum that Ree doesn't peel peaches for pies and whatnot? How hard is it to peel a peach? Boil water, fill a bowl with iced water, cut an X into the skin, drop peach in boiling water, remove peach from boiling water and shock in in ice bath. Peel. I'll pray for ya', Ree. You lazy, unoriginal, incompetent hack. 5 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/3691-all-episodes-talk/page/68/#findComment-4478432

CharlizeCat July 15, 2018 Share July 15, 2018 I just saw the jalapeno berry lemonade. I honestly can't think of anything more disgusting sounding and it seems counter-intuitive. Instead of quenching the thirst, I'd think that the heat of the jalapeno would make them even more thirsty. I know the overall amount was diluted by the bunch lemon juice, water and ice, but still ... Then there was that disgusting cherry pepper mayo. Yeah. I'll bet there were no takers on that and Ree is welcome to take it back home after it has been sitting out in the sweltering heat to "eat it all herself during the rest of the week." Go right ahead and we'll see ya in the Pawhuska E.R. with food poisoning. Actually, a taste of her own medicine (literally) might be a much-needed lesson learned. The entire meal had some type of chili or pepper in it. I didn't recognize Bryce. He's lost all of that husky boy baby fat and has shot up like a weed. He's actually not a bad-looking young man. I still think those boys act like surly entitled brats, though. 7 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/3691-all-episodes-talk/page/68/#findComment-4491298

I know the overall amount was diluted by the bunch BUNCHA lemon juice, water and ice, but still ... Fixed it for you - using "Ree speak" The problem with the recent shows is there hasn't, in quite awhile now, been one thing I'm tempted to try myself. She used to at least have a few recipes or dishes that looked interesting with just a few tweaks, usually bringing the spices down to a reasonable amount and ditching many of the unnecessary "buncha" add ins and toppings, her older cookbooks reflect this. Her current recipes though seem to be getting wilder - not more creative just wilder - like she took a suggestion to add to or update them as a personal challenge to add in the most ingredients she could think of. That or they're completely impracticable (see also her current obsession pre-prepping meals and taking up huge amounts of fridge/freezer space storing them on a sheet pan). Also I'd love to see what the cowboys really eat on the range when it's not filming day - suspect they brown bag bologna sandwiches, a bag of Lay's chips and store bought iced tea or more likely jugs of water with, if lucky, a few lemon slices tossed in 9 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/3691-all-episodes-talk/page/68/#findComment-4491637

Lura July 15, 2018 Share July 15, 2018 I watched some recorded show yesterday, and Todd was years younger, and Ree's hair was dark brown. She actually looked semi-attractive! I couldn't believe it! But ... today, when she was back to her cookie baking for half the town of Pawtuska, her hair was back to bright orange, and it was spray netted so heavily that the hairs separated, and it clung to her forehead like glue. So much for semi-attractive. I couldn't agree with sigmaforce more. Not only have Ree's recipes changed, but her demeanor has as well. "Crazier" is the operative word. The other day she kept punning until she finally excused herself for being in "that kind of mood." She seems to be filming in two acts: the "I'm so beautiful" act or the "wild and crazy" act. I think the latter comes about when she's finally gotten some sex, or maybe she just wants us to think that. (She did refer to Ladd as being "brawny" on the same show.) I got a giggle out of Ree's attire today, though. She wore a blue top and with her bright orange hair, she wore red/orange hoop earrings! There should have been circus music in the background. Whee! Color as only Ree would wear! 2 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/3691-all-episodes-talk/page/68/#findComment-4492541
WritinMan July 16, 2018 Share July 16, 2018 (edited) Caught a rerun from last year where she was making "watermelon pizza" with some family members. It looked disgusting and just seemed really silly, to be honest. The kind of thing you start doing when you are running out of ideas.

peacheslatour July 16, 2018 Share July 16, 2018 Everyone else makes watermelon pizza using cream cheese, fruit and well that's about it. Ree just has to cover the whole mess with chocolate ganache, cream, chocolate chunks and sugar, sugar and more sugar. Bleh. 3 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/3691-all-episodes-talk/page/68/#findComment-4495716
