ZOMG food network ILU

So, in the midst of reading all of the depressing fashion sales/retro-growth figures, FoodTV pops up on my ancient television with some choice suggestions. Now, this will not solve buyers anxiety over the upcoming fall retail season (even though, surprise, black and somber is a BIG trend), but it's the best advice iteration I have seen thus far in our 'difficult' economy. Chef and Tv personality, Tyler Florence, (better to look at than listen to) appears in what looks like Rachel Ray's pretend kitchen to tell you the tastiest way to re-heat your cheap ass take out food. GENIUS! Who the fuck is watching Good Eats on a tuesday night, probs someone who is familiar with the creative arts of consuming leftovers. Am I paying attention when Barefoot Contessa-or as someone I know lovingly calls her,"...idk..that barefoot bitch"-makes Shrimp Bisque and a pear tarte tatin? Hardly. Quickly insert a commercial-torial on how to re-heat leftover pizza and lo-mein with out compromising the original's already dubious quality? I see you showtime! This little heads up re-connects with the viewer, here, it's my lazy ass, and under lines that FoodTv is as helpful and relevent as ever. Oh, tight, and now Ted Allen is on Foodtv talkin about how asparagus makes your pee smell! (it contains mercaptan which is also present in rotting eggs) Now, I need a snack!
