That's the one that's already running down here. Only caught a bit of it but too much like those other overproduced 'talent' shows for me.

I watched a lot, they're how I learnt to cook really, maybe it was a fascination because I was banned from the kitchen as a kid. My fave was 'The 2 Fat Ladies', they did food porn that appealed more to my tastes. 
Any show that mentioned 'nutritious' 'fat reduced' or 'healthier option' got the flick. Life's too short to eat boring stuff.

I cant cook if my life depended on it but I do make a decent bunch of chocolate chips cookies after ten tries.
I can make a lemon meringue pie that my Mom showed me,but never could get that damn meringus to stand up but tooth picks solved that problem.

Good for you, Davey! I'm not a Cool Whip fan at all, but I use spray whipped cream on my lemon pies....the 2 I make every year for Xmas. (lol) Meringue is delicious, but a PIA!
So what do you and your g'daughter eat other than desserts?

Oh please watch Cutthroat Kitchen, it's in the Food network too and it is the funniest meanest show I have ever watched. I have never laughed so hard in my life!

Ya gotta remember we're talking about a 15 year old and a 76 year old who's eating habits are totally different.
What she likes I dont,what I like she doesnt.
Often I ask " lets both go out and get a nice steak dinner with all the fixings."
She says" Ill settle for a bake potato and a large diet coke".
"how about barbecue ribs?
"can we stop by Burger King on the way back?"
Just last week I took her and 3 of her girlfriends out to eat for winning the cheerleaders contest.,mistake was asking "where ya all wanna go?'
The 1 slice of pepperoni pizza and rootbeer was OK.
Her favorite restaurant is Taco Bell but it has to be the drive thru.

You have my admiration, Davey, for all your efforts. It's hard given the age difference and our taste in food as we mature. I'm just wondering how I ended up with the only 2 g'kids who don't like fast food!!! (But then neither do I.) They don't even like good deli's, one of my favorites!!!:aargh: Spoiled? Maybe, but it's not just with me, they just don't like it. Their dad grills burgers 1" thick fairly often, so the junk food places pale in comparison. And you either like deli meats or you don't. I just go with the flow and know you do the same.
