[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Barefoot contessa's recipes are actually pretty good. She is like the Jewish North Eastern version of Paula Deen. But what bugs me about her is that she doesn't realize her audience isn't bagillionairs like her. The perfect lunch for a dock picnic? Come on. I'd love to have the perfect menu for lunch beside a yacht, but not applicable to my life. A "garden warming" party? Really? The only garden unveiling that would go on at my house would be if I brought home a pot of flowers from Home Depot. [/quote]

I love Ina's recipes, approach to cooking and entertaining, etc. but I agree with you on this, it is annoying.  Also, during an episode when she cooked for her fortieth (I think) wedding anniversary, she talked about how people ask her to share the secret to a long marriage, and whether it is hard work, and she said she finds those questions baffling because being with Jeffrey is joy, they delight in one another, blah blah, nothing about it is work at all, how could it possibly be...

Put simply this infuriated me.  I could write six paragraphs but I won't.[/quote]

OMG I KNOW! She said something like "I would hate to be in a relationship that's WORK. Jeffrey and I just have fun together."

Um, ok - easier to do when you are insanely rich and childless. I love her but that was really annoying. [/quote]
