Has Emeril Lost It?

Everyone knows that it was Emeril Lagasse that put Food Network on the map.
I was one of the dorks that was into it before it was mainstream, and wasn't considered odd to watch hours of Food Network a day. (Now, I probably watch an hour a month if that.)

There were talks that he and Food Network had parted ways, and he is expected to join the Fine Living Network next season.

The newest episodes of the Essence of Emeril, he was barely recognizable. I don't just mean his grey hair and bloated face, and bald spot.

His passion was gone!

It seemed as though they might have fired him and then forced him to record a few more episodes, and he wanted to piss them off by looking like he'd rather be getting root canal than deep-frying shrimp or whatever.

Or his cat died.

He had zero personality. Zero expressions. He was unprepared, apathetic, and snobby.

Emeril has lost it.

Is An Empty Bakery on a Friday Dangerous?

I had to go to Boro Park to take care of some business. I figured I might as well try Challah from a bakery that I don't have near me, for a change.

As I walked down the blocks, I noticed how some bakeries were empty and others had lines that were too long to tolerate.

It's Friday. People want challah, rugelach, cookies, cake...If your bakery is empty...run away. Fast.

Did John Mayer Trade Up/Jennifer Aniston Hit Rock Bottom??

Any way you look at it, this new pairing of John Mayer and Jennifer Aniston makes absolutely no sense to me.

Going from Brad Pitt to John Mayer? Ouch! That's gotta hurt!
I don't see what some girls see in John Mayer. I don't find him hot. I find him egotistical, dumb, and mildly entertaining. (Sorry Amber!)

He and Jessica Simpson made a good couple since she's no superstar. She's gorgeous and pretty talented; no comment on the brains because she might be playing dumb to make more money--which makes her smarter than before.

Jennifer Aniston deserves better. I don't know if Vince Vaughn is considered better, but she needs someone normal, good-looking, and nice.

I think John Mayer is in it for publicity.

Whatever it is, Jennifer, you can do so much better, honey!!!!!!!
