Mother's day is coming soon. That means you better get to thinkin' about what to get your momma!
Don't want anyone to forget. I recommend Rachael Ray cookbooks or some Rachael Ray knives. Alternatively, a gourmet gift basket or some wonderful Mothers Day Flowers will do the trick. Don't forget!
Someone Longs for a Less Wholesome Rachael...
"As a side note, I also wish just once she would drop the wholesome American girl act for just a second when she utters one of her hilarious double-entendres on 30 Minute Meals and just acknowledge it. If I have to hear one more, "my husband LOVES dark meat," or endure any more nut-encrusted meat recipes, I will have to hit myself with something. I mean, c'mon, have you SEEN the FHM pics she took? Don't even tell me that she thought those were for the cooking education of countless young men, hmmm?"
That's from a post about Rachael Ray I found here. There is more. The first part of the post makes some observations about Rachael's breakfast selections while eating on $40 a day. This person thinks she orders pancakes too much.
Drop the wholesome act?
Is it an act?
Maybe...Maybe not...

iPod Shrine to Rachael Ray
This guy claims he used to have a pretty extensive "shrine" set up for Rachael Ray but that is was taking up so much space! Thus, he had to collapse it into a smaller area. His choice? His iPod with video.
"However, without all the episodes of 30 Minute Meals, I do have room for more Rachael Ray photos, like that sexy photoshoot she did for FHM. I got one word for that photoshoot…Yum-O. Also, I’ve added some scanned images of her from her cookbooks and her magazine called Everyday with Rachael Ray. How good is that?"
That excerpt is there just to show you I am not joking.
Here's some more:
"I love my new iPod, not only because it can play videos, hold 7,500 songs, and carry my calendars and contacts, but also because it totally replaced my old Rachael Ray shrine. If you saw my old Rachael Ray shrine, the first thing you would probably think to yourself is, “Damn! That Rachael Ray shrine must take a lot of time to set up before the ceremonial rubbing of EVOO all over the body can be started.”
You get the idea...Is it sincere flattery from an obsessed fan or just a pretty funny way of detailing the power of an iPod. Who cares? It's about my Rachael and I like it!

Rachael Ray Receives Tip from Random Dude with a Hangover
You gotta love the net. Everyone gets to shout out their opinion. Case in point:
"Dear Rachael Ray,
Just a quick kitchen tip. When you are frying up Canadian bacon in a nonstick pan you don't need E-V-O-O."
First off, that isn't a bad tip. You really don't. The bacon is fatty enough and it isn't like the olive oil is going to impart any flavor. So, if Rachael was doing that, she was probably being a bit daft.
The thing is that the guy offering the tip doesn't seem to be any sort of food expert or anything. He's just some dude who had a hangover on Sunday and decided to blog away.
If you want to know what tastes like burning, you can see it for yourself.

Rachael Ray, Emmy Winner
Hey, how about that?
Rachael Ray, my personal favorite television personality, magazine magnate and all around great cook and person, had her 30 minute meal show nab an Emmy.
Oh, jeez, sorry all your Rachael Haters who have nothing to do but toss insults at the lady. I bet it really burns to know that Ms. Ray's program is an Emmy award winner, huh?
"30 Minute Meals with Rachael Ray scored as the best service show for Food Network. That would appear to make its host a front-runner for an Emmy during the televised portion of the program, which will air live on ABC April 28."
according to this site.
Apparently, that victory might just land Rachael on prime-time tv at the Emmy Awards! Go Rachael Ray!

Hey Rachael Fans...Diamonds are Just as Nice as Furi Knives!
I found a great online diamond jewelry store and thought I would pass the information along. With Mother's Day on the way, one might be able to talk loved ones into a Rachael Ray cookbook, some new kitchen equipment and a gorgeous rock!
The Danforth Diamond website stands out because it was built with the
customer in mind. They feature diamond engagement rings and wedding jewelry 40% below retail prices. They also have a 30-day return policy and free
FedEx shipping. Their extensive learning center goes beyond explaining the
four C's of diamond buying and provides a glossary of jewelry terms and
metal information. Most of your questions can be answered on the web through the learning center but the personal support from the call in center is also fantastic. Buying diamond jewelry has never been easier.

Feast your eyes on this Rachael Ray picture...
Scanning the net to provide you with endless opportunities to stare upon the countenance of Food Netword super chef Rachael Ray...That's what I do.
Found a new Rachael Ray picture. Sorry, it is not the infamous "lost shot" from the FHM shoot everyone is looking for...You know the one...
Instead, it is a picture of Ms. Ray at a big foodie-type convention in Miami, FL. She is huggin' on a Florida caterer dude and is grinning the way only a hot multi-media superstar can grin. Yum-o. Or is that yummo? Anyway. You might as well check out the pretty detailed article about this big ol' convention filled with things anyone with even the slightest interest in food would dig. You can read all about it--and view the Rachel Ray picture--right here.
Somewhere in this site is another picture of Ray-Ray cookin' up a storm in the sunshine state. You might remember it. She was wearing a swimsuit. Rachael Ray in a bikini. Sounds good. Looks good. Find the entry somewhere on this blog if you really must see it right now. It is actually sort of goofy pic. However, it was taken in FLA, and the photo to which I am linking here was also taken in FLA. Which makes me wonder if perhaps Ms. Ray owns a little Orlando Luxury Real Estate or something. She is definitely a big enough bigshot these days to swing that kind of investment.
More Ray news to come. Stay tuned.

Trashy Hot Dog Mac Appreciated
Some of us tend to be gourmands rather than gourmets at times. When those moments strike, it's nice to pull up to a big ol' plate of something very tasty that might not be all that healthy. And if some of those dishes evoke a general feeling of trailer-parkishness, so be it!
That brings me to hot dog mac, an awesome Rachael Ray recipe that even the least coordinated cook can whip up in 30 minutes or less. It is a quintessentially American meal featuring hot dogs, cheese, mustard, ketchup and even beer. All in one dish.
Some may think it a little on the trashy side. Others will term it comfort food and attempt to put into a large social context. I just call it a darn good Rachael Ray recipe and ask for seconds!
Someone else seems to agree. It may be trashy, but it sure is tasty!
On second thought, I don't know that it should be called trashy. Maybe it's just American and lacks pretension. We are a people with a short history, a love of excess, and a desire for fattening food packed with so much flavor overkill most of the world cannot believe it. We like hot dogs, apple pie, Chevrolets, paintball guns, pet dogs, goofy t-shirts and horrible action movies. That's just who we are.
I betcha if Rachael Ray had Lee Greenwood on her show, he'd sing "I'm Proud to be an American" and then request some of her hot dog mac. And if she was serving it clad in the getup she wore for those famous FHM pics, so much the better!

Take Care of Your Momma, Rachael Ray Style...
I am one of those people who really likes to shop ahead. While most people are scampering around looking for a Halloween mask, I am already finishing the Christmas shopping, you know.
Easter is fast approaching, Rachael Ray fans, but I am already looking ahead to Mother's Day.
If you gotta Momma, you gotta take of the woman on Mother's Day, right?
Well, I was struggling for a good M-day gift, but decided to combine my love of all things Rachael Ray with my love of mommy for her day. No dinner out. Instead, I will be cooking something out of 365, my fave Rachael Ray cookbook for her. And to top it off, I will give her a copy of the book. My mom likes to cook and I just know she will be all yummo over that cookbook. She is not a tv person, so she doesn't really know much about Rachael, but she's sure to dig the book.
To top it all off, I plan on sticking the book in a gourmet gift basket. Mothers day gift baskets have long been a safe choice for our moms' special day, but I think adding a liltte Ray-Ray to the mix will make it even more fun!

More Rachael Ray Hate
I always feel a need to point out the haters. I am sure they get a kick out of the extra publicity and all, but I just feel a need to expose how horribly mean-spirited their comments are!
The "Reverend Jim" (probably the one from Taxi and not a real man of G-d), writes:
"There is no one on television that annoys me more than Rachael Ray. The fact that she now has a deal for her own talk show just makes my bowels shudder. I'd pay $40 a day for her to shut her mouth for 30 minutes."
The only thing that annoys ME more than people being annoyed with Rachael is people who end up with shuddering bowels.
Oh, and you'd pay $40 to shut her up for a half hour? Big spender. That's 80 bones and hour. I think she's earning at a pace that would make that offer pretty unattractive.
What kills me is the good Reverend later admits he doesn't even watch her with any frequency. Thus, we can assume that she doesn't really intrude upon his life. So, why all the hate? Why the mocking of eevo?
Answer: In some circles its cool to be critical and mean. That's my opinion. You can go tell the Good Reverend what you think about his observations by leaving comments for him here.

Ray-Ray's Tomato & Onion Salad Lauded
Sweetnicks reports on a recent side based on Rachael Ray's recipe for a tomato and onion salad. Served along with some smoked salmon pizza (read the entry, it will make you HUNGRY), the author notes this about the Ray salad:
"The salad really lets the fresh, juicy tomatoes shine, as only a few simple ingredients are included. I've made salads similar to this, but I usually slice the tomatoes and layer it with the other ingredients. In this recipe (see below), Rachael calls for the tomatoes and onions to be chopped, which makes it a completely different animal. Besides using it as a salad, it would make a wonderful topping for some grilled chicken or fish."
The recipe originated in the the Get Togethers cookbook. If you don't have that one, get it!
Oh, here is that original entry I told you to read.

Rachael Ray Fans--PLEASE READ THIS!
I know that many of you probably came here looking for recipes or the Rachael Ray FHM pictures, but I wanted to take a minute of your time to look at something I think is really important.
Millions of Americans suffer from severe arthritis pain and other aches. Some of you who have a tough time wielding your kitchen knives without wincing know just what I mean! Fortunately, we thought, modern science was providing a solution that would allow us to keep on chopping, kneading and mashing without a lot of pain. Over two million people took a drug called Vioxx to help them deal with their pain. If you are like me, you probably know someone who used Vioxx.
Now, lots of information is coming to light that the pill might be pretty dangerous. One source says that people who take Vioxx end up having a DOUBLED risk of heart attacks and strokes. Some of us who spend too much time sampling our own kitchen goodies are already running too high a risk of heart problems. The medicines we use shouldn't serve to make things worse... The problems with the medicine have actually led to a series of Vioxx lawsuits--and people are winning them. Scary stuff!
Feel free to look around the blog for tons of awesome Rachael Ray info, links to pics and all of the other fun stuff that brought you here, but also take a moment to look into this whole Vioxx issue. This page deals with Vioxx and Vioxx lawsuits. It provides some pretty frightening information.
Remember, even if you don't take the drug, you probably know someone who does. Find out more about the situation so you can inform them (and so you can just be better informed!).
See you back here in a few minutes, where you can find all of the best Rachael Ray info!
