Giada’s Baby Girl is Born! & Other News
Here at watching food tv, I’m glad to announce the birth of Giada De Laurentiis’ new baby girl. Giada, and husband Todd Thompson are the new proud parents of little Jade Marie De Laurentiis Thompson. Weighing in at only 5 lbs 13 oz, the poor things name is probably bigger than she is! Jade Marie was born at 4:38 pm EST on Saturday March 29th. My congrats go out to the proud mommy & daddy!!!
The Feasting on Asphalt Book Tour is in full swing with Alton traveling up the route of the River Run stopping at bookstores along the way. He has done signings so far in Chicago & New York City, just to name a couple. Unfortunately I am not on the River Run Route, so I have yet to have my opportunity to meet this fine gentleman, but I am hoping the day will come that he decides to visit Sin City and do a lecture on the Fine Art of Buffet Food or something.
Food Network is premiering a new show called Cooking For Real with Sunny Anderson. It will premiere on April 6th at 10:30 am, so set your DVR’s, I know I have. The first episode will be Noshin in N’Awlins, where Sunny will be covering snack-ish type foods from the Big Easy. Tune in to find out how to make pot pie with a different twist, a spicy/sweet shrimp pot pie! And don’t forget the Sazarak Cocktail. It seems Sandra Lee isn’t the only one who thinks a cocktail is a good thing!!! By the by, according to Dictionary.com Sazerak is a cocktail made with rye or bourbon, bitters, Pernod, and sugar, stirred or shaken with ice, strained and served with a twist of lemon rind. Sounds yummy and potent to me, somebody pass the Bourbon will ya?
Chefography Week is coming back to the Food Network, with new shows airing April 7-13. The new episodes will feature biographies of such renowned food personalities as Julia Child and Wolfgang Puck. There will also be an episode about the entire Ace of Cakes Crew, and one on the Food Network itself. I can’t wait for that one!!! Chefography has already showcased Food Network Stars, Bobby Flay, Rachael Ray, Tyler Florence, Paula Deen, Sandra Lee, and more. It’s great to be able to look into the lives of those people that we know and love from TV and see how they became the people they are.
Well that’s about it for now friends. Drop me a comment and let me know what show is your favorite, or if there are any recipes you would like posted. I am happy to do it for you!!!

I Love Giada! Her smile is so infectious.
In case you didn’t know, I found your blog through DadGoneMad. I’ve posted a complete list of everyone who left their blog link on his Big Big Stars post a while back in a post of my own in April called Blog Rolling With My Homies over on my blog, so if you want to see it come on over and sit a spell. I don’t bite..…that hard anyway!
If you did know just overlook this and pretend I said something funny since my brain feels like mush from trying to comment on all 217 on the list because somebody had the bright idea to challenge me to it!!

I am not sure what I am responding to, but I
do have a comment about a fairly new show,
Sunny Anderson. She is sun to watch except
for me, her hair always in her face is so
distracting.
