Sandy has more Holiday cookie ideas on Food Network's website.

Apparently, my browser is trying to save me from watching it. I get a big blank page.

Oh my. I clicked on bizook's link and jumped into the pool to find that the Fandras are confused: Is there mistletoe in the Mistletoe Mojitos?

"They're like beaded candies!" No, no they're not. You're an idiot.

I posted the other day that SLop was on the 700 club. Unfortunately in the link I posted you could only watch the segment where she grilled the plastic fish. I just found the segment I saw that day with the pink holiday table and some ginormous Christmas balls.

Big surprise. We already knew she had ginormous balls to serve that dreck she calls food to people!

Oooh, the pink holiday table is not a good thing for Sandy. The monochromatic color scheme puts all the emphasis on her food!

She really looks terrible in this segment. As if she thinks that to appear on 700 Club she should wear no makeup? Sandy, it's about moderation and balance, honey, which we know you struggle with. Not as a diss to any who watch this network, but I wonder if as a condition of her appearance on the 700 Club that the prayer lines include a special prayer for the sales of her new books? OK, I am exaggerating, but I wouldn't put it past her to ask.

I love the fact that the hostess asked Sandy about her recipes and Sandy spent the next 2-3 minutes blathering on about her 'skape. And sorry, but pink does not scream Christmas to me. Although, the ribbon in the shape of a cross on the "riser" in the back was a nice touch.

She does! All washed out, particularly with that blueish dress. (Or else it is just the contrast to the mid-period raccoon-eyed Aunt Sandy.)

I too was waiting for the pie to fall off the table. Evil child.

Silly Snads, throwing around the cooking terms she has used. And then getting part of it wrong. You just blind bake the pie shell. Bake it off ... And explain to the host that "blind baking" is just cooking the shell without filling after, of course, forking <giggle> it first. No mention that the most common variation is using the pie weights/beans - guess she is just in love with forking.

Oh - and the plug for "Jo Ann Fabrics (whatever)" Wonder if she gets any promo $$, or is just used to talking as if she were a sports person with all the sponsor logos vying for airtime.

and the plug for "Jo Ann Fabrics (whatever)

She probably is shilling for them - she was also plugging the Ore Ida potatoes in a bag, and on Fox the other day she was plugging the Jose Cuervo. To paraphrase Rod Blagojevich, "She ain't giving this away for free!"

"She ain't giving this away for free!"

That made me laugh!! Greatness!!

"Forking". Snerk. Have we heard her use the term "Docking"? Or does she reserve that word for those occasions when she's out on the Cuomo yacht and needs to make a desperate visit to the shore for a likkor run?

[cartmann99]

Have we heard her use the term "Docking"?

I seem to remember reading the snarkfest on an episode where she did use the term but used it incorrectly.

Yuppers, she was docking a cake with fauxfrosting.

So the one she set on top of it wouldn't slip, IIRC.

This month's Redbook Magazine.

They did everything but flat out kiss her butt. This is a must skim in the check out line.

I was perusing a Chicago-area foodies message board and was stunned to see one topic: Semi-Ho For a Day. It is actually quite a hoot - the discussion started out when one poster admitted to whipping up a quick pasta/veg meal from Trader Joe's products and equated it to Semi-Ho heresy, but the fun is as a variety of people serious about food either discover Aunt Sandy with disbelief or admit to their sad secret fascination. Great characterizing her:

She's an anti-teacher. Rather than demonstrating to her students that they're more capable than they think they are and helping them to fulfill their potential, she instead reinforces their fears and insecurities, telling them that they're just not good enough and the best they can hope to achieve with their limited time and skill is preprocessed Frankenstein dishes.

Even funnier, one posted link reveals that Alpana Singh - the sommelier who hosts Chicago's "Check Please" - is a secret shrike! Even admitting to saving some episodes on DVR to entertain and amaze friends!
