Knowing your Rachel Ray's Rachel Ray has been doing her FoodTV show "30 Minute Meals" for at least 3 years. There are at least two things to use when determining what year... These things vary by year... Her clothes (she used to mostly wear earth tones) Her communication style (hand waving, smiling, voice, etc.) (She's gotten more flamboyant) Her appearance (she's gotten thinner over the years) Yes, I could have this all wrong... but considering there are very few "Food TV Babes" worth the label ... does it really matter? 6:39:06 PM    Notes [] Food gripes of the day Bratwurst "Brats" - Unnamed national brand (I think) - there is a huge difference between the uncooked and "pre cooked" ones... I like the uncooked ones... (Yes, I cook them first before eating them!) but they have gotten expensive... the pre-cooked ones for this brand name... (I bought a package of "Stadium Style Brats") ... it's like a huge sausage. One of those fatty, greasy, tiny things you get in restaurants. We all know those... edible but if feels like eating a tube of meat flavored fat. On the other hand... there's a pre-cooked bratwurst that i've been buying for years. Two kinds - a dark bratwurst and a white variety that has a high veal content. They are very "smooth" in texture. But very good with mustard and sauerkraut. Yum. is it the "real thing" No idea. Probably not in Wisconsin. Gum I've started keeping gum in my car... I chew a piece on the way home... The "curiously strong" kind. Had the strangest experience today... had a piece dissolve in my mouth. Yuck! I've never had that happen with ANY kind of gum before. 6:30:19 PM    Notes []
