FRC snark alert: I'm tempted to start a really snarky thread about cooking show pet peeves. Reason?

My other Ina pet peve: X-Large eggs in baking. I swear, I have to buy eggs just for her recipes.

 
You can use large eggs to substitute - see chart inside:

EGG SIZES - EQUIVALENTS

(NOTE: An extra large egg has about 4 tablespoons of liquid and a large egg has about 3 1/4 tablespoons of liquid).

Two large = two jumbo, two extra large or medium, or three small

Three large = two jumbo, three extra large or medium, or four small

Four large = three jumbo, four extra large, five medium or small

Five large = four jumbo, four extra large, six medium, or seven small

Six large = five jumbo or extra large, seven medium, or eight small

 
I also have to mention that I can't stand Alton Brown - I respect his wealth of information,

and like some of his recipes, but... I can't stand his personality, and his show is so immature and grade B that I just can't watch it. I wish he would just stick to cooking/baking and omit the ridiculous antics with the terrible acting, but of course, then his show wouldn't be popular. As we're all aware of, most people who just concentrated on cooking good food were dropped from the Food Network.

 
And now that I'm on a roll, I'll add "Iron Chef America" to this list - The "Chairman" is a bad

joke, way beyond a caricature, and the show is way beyond a spoof - maybe it's a spoof of a spoof? Or do they really take themselves seriously? I mean, the whole show is like a grade B Horror Movie, but I like to see what the chefs are making, so I just put on mute during the extraneous BS.

 
Now that Semi-Homemade has made an entrance I have to jump in! I cannot stand to watch this woman..

and love the SemiFreakMadename! Sometimes it's on at the gym when I am on the treadmill..thankfully with the sound off but captioned. I cannot stand the way she talks about how everything is "mine". I'm making MY semi-homemade beef stew...I'm slicing MY onions...I'm serving this on MY tablescape. Blech. We know they're yours, it's your show lady, who's else would they be? Melissa what's her name from the Next Food Network Star does that on her show too. Drives me crazy.

 
I refuse to watch his show...

he gets on my nerves in less than 5 minutes... Agree completely with you...

 
And all the y'alls in every. single. sentence. Seriously?? It would be a good drinking game -

if it didn't come on at 11:00 in the morning here.

 
She's so insignificant, I can't even discuss her.What a loser, making big money.So what else is new?
