Todd's Friday Embarassing Admission...

by Todd on Nov 16, 2007 11:10 AM CST in Humor

...or, Todd Attempts to Curry Favor With the Football Gods by Admitting his Moral, Cultural, and Intellectual Flaws in a Very Public Manner.

Admitting I love Tequiza and voluntarily watched Norbit kept my internet working and the PPV game on, owning up to my lust for Paris Hilton garnered the Tide a win over Vandy despite some offensive troubles, and copping to a disturbing love for Phil Collins bought us a stirring fourth quarter rally against Arkansas. But since admitting that I own RV and the Pacifier apparently wasn't embarassing enough to get a win over Georgia, and what should have been a national title winning admission saw us play even worse against Florida State, I decided to stick it to the Football Gods and brag about my awesome guitar. They repaid my hubris with an ugly win over Houston, so I once again humbly submitted something embarassing, namely my love of Erotica era Madonna in exchange for a win over Ole Miss, and then hit the jackpot with three admissions about Legends of the Fall to get us a blow out over Tennessee. Owning up to attending a Hanson concert apparently wasn't enough for a win over LSU, and then I completely forgot to do one last week, so I'm at least 17% responsible for the loss to Mississippi State (sorries!). So this week, in an attempt to get back into the good graces of the Football Gods, I'll admit that I am fascinated by (read: obsessed with) Rachel Ray.

ability to cook(short + cute)=awesome

Whether it's 30 Minute Meals, Tasty Travels, $40 a Day, or even her daytime talk show, I am spellbound by the woman. If she's on TV, I'm watching it. For instance, last Sunday, after the Next Iron Chef was crowned, they did a repeat of the episode where she battles Giada de Laurentis (does admitting I know who she is count as a bonus admission?) and I was glued to it, even though I've seen it before and knew she would win. Also, her Mexican Lasagna is awesome. Just in case you were wondering what to make for dinner tonight.

Ah...

Yes... Battle Cranberry. That was a good one.

Though I must say, however, that I think Rachael had a pretty big advantage by having Mario Battali on her side. I don't mean don't get me wrong, I like Bobby Flay and his mango chutney as much as the next guy, but he's no Mario.

I must say though that I think Iron Chef has officially jumped the shark now that they have baldy as an Iron Chef now that he won there little crappy reality show thing. Personally, I hate reality shows, and I don't like the idea of having an Iron Chef nominated that way. As I see it, had he been that good they would have given him the nod to begin with.

And speaking of Iron Chef, is there anything worse than when they have the celebrity judges who obviously don't know jack about food? One of the world's best chefs fixes them a meal to critically review, and the response is usually something like, "Well... uh... I... uh. liked it... Um... I think it tastes good... I think you did a good job by... um... getting to taste good." I mean what kind of crap is that?

Steingarten is by far the best.

Gotta Love the RR

Anyone other than me still enjoy the occasional viewing of her FHM spread?

Yeah, I saw that a little while ago...

The way I figure, we should wish her happiness and success, and secretly hope she somehow finds this blog, is moved by my devotion, and decides to end things with whats his name and marry me.
