foodtvandme.com is the unofficial food network fansite with news, reviews, and my attempts at those great recipes you see on tv.

Need a last minute recipe to round out your meal?  Having trouble figuring out how long to cook that bird?

Don’t worry, it’s Foodnetwork.com to the rescue!

Find a turkey calculator, tips on how to carve, and those all important post-Thanksgiving recipes to use up leftovers. I especially love the carving tips because they are presented by the quirky Alton Brown.

I wish you all a happy and safe Thanksgiving holiday!

If you’re a fan of big spinning wheels and annoying gray hair chefs, I hope you caught tonight’s fairly boring episode of Pat Sajack’s most famous game show.

Paula Deen was a celebrity contestant on tonight’s episode of Wheel of Fortune.  I caught a glimpse of her helping out one of us regular people who was playing the game.  I admit, it was a little funny to see her matching her partner.  They both coincidentally wore orange, and both, coincidentally did not wear it well.

I know a lot of you love the butter-loving grandma, but I find her a bit much.  She was a little more subdued than I thought she would be on a game show, but still a bit much.

I appreciate that she played for charity, but please, try to keep her confined to the Food Network where I can avoid her.

Thanks.
