Ariel Storm Feb 18, 2009, 8:04pm EST
howdy debra!
JoAnne D. Feb 18, 2009, 8:04pm EST
Rachel Ray is the only food show i get these days. I like it so that's good. It's on the same time as The View so I have to switch back and forth.
JoAnne D. Feb 18, 2009, 8:05pm EST
Hi Ariel, feeling better now?
Angel sent from God Secret Sisters Feb 18, 2009, 8:06pm EST
I like Rachel Ray !
JoAnne D. Feb 18, 2009, 8:06pm EST
Hi Debra. I don't see Stephanie's comment. I wonder if she's here.
Ariel Storm Feb 18, 2009, 8:07pm EST
Getting there..some more chocolate helped lol!
Ariel Storm Feb 18, 2009, 8:07pm EST
Hiya Dan
JoAnne D. Feb 18, 2009, 8:08pm EST
I like Ice Cream. Potato chips are my all time favs but not very healthy so I don't eat them very often.
JoAnne D. Feb 18, 2009, 8:08pm EST
Hey Dan, nice to see you.
Ariel Storm Feb 18, 2009, 8:08pm EST
I dont like Rachel Ray. She's too cheerful all the time, Makes me want to smack her.
JoAnne D. Feb 18, 2009, 8:09pm EST
Do you have some healthy snack ideas for us?
Angel sent from God Secret Sisters Feb 18, 2009, 8:09pm EST
I loved watching the Galloping Gourmet , he probably is dead by now!!!
JoAnne D. Feb 18, 2009, 8:09pm EST
Oh, cheer up Ariel, things just have to get better.
Ariel Storm Feb 18, 2009, 8:10pm EST
hehehe :) I am cheerful!
Ariel Storm Feb 18, 2009, 8:10pm EST
Frozen bananas make great snacks. I mush them up so they are like ice cream.
JoAnne D. Feb 18, 2009, 8:11pm EST
That is an older one, Janet. I may have heard of him. lol.
Ariel Storm Feb 18, 2009, 8:11pm EST
Be sure to peel them before you freeze them though.
Ariel Storm Feb 18, 2009, 8:11pm EST
lol Dan I don't care about her weight. Its that constant cheerfulness. It gets on my nerves.
Ariel Storm Feb 18, 2009, 8:12pm EST
I enjoyed both those shows.
JoAnne D. Feb 18, 2009, 8:12pm EST
Mmmm. I like to freeze them for banana bread anyway, Ariel. That sounds good.
Angel sent from God Secret Sisters Feb 18, 2009, 8:12pm EST
I like wheat thin in cinnamon, but my problem I eat the whole box!!
Ariel Storm Feb 18, 2009, 8:13pm EST
I also eat sliced turkey with mustard wrapped in lettuce as a snack.
Angel sent from God Secret Sisters Feb 18, 2009, 8:13pm EST
I really enjoyed him , he was so filled with energy!!!
Ariel Storm Feb 18, 2009, 8:14pm EST
Someone once told me to take crackers and snack foods and put them in plastic baggies when you get them in the size of a serving, so you dont eat the whole box at a time.
Jodi G. Feb 18, 2009, 8:14pm EST
thanks
Angel sent from God Secret Sisters Feb 18, 2009, 8:14pm EST
I lot of good healthy foods I can not eat because I am allergic to them
Angel sent from God Secret Sisters Feb 18, 2009, 8:15pm EST
Frozen bananas with chocolate ( thats during those time of the mth)
Ariel Storm Feb 18, 2009, 8:15pm EST
They aren't too sweet that way Dan?
Angel sent from God Secret Sisters Feb 18, 2009, 8:16pm EST
I make a great banana bread with fruit juice instead of the shorting that helps
Ariel Storm Feb 18, 2009, 8:17pm EST
I remember watching them! They were entertaining.
Angel sent from God Secret Sisters Feb 18, 2009, 8:17pm EST
Julie Child I liked her to but her voice made me quiver!!!
Ariel Storm Feb 18, 2009, 8:17pm EST
I use applesauce instead of oil in baking.
Angel sent from God Secret Sisters Feb 18, 2009, 8:17pm EST
The two fat ladies were good too!!!
Angel sent from God Secret Sisters Feb 18, 2009, 8:18pm EST
applesauce is a good one too!
Ariel Storm Feb 18, 2009, 8:18pm EST
Does anyone watch any of the losing weight reality shows?
Ariel Storm Feb 18, 2009, 8:19pm EST
I'll have to try it Dan!
Ariel Storm Feb 18, 2009, 8:19pm EST
roflmao
Angel sent from God Secret Sisters Feb 18, 2009, 8:20pm EST
sometimes I watch the biggest loser
Angel sent from God Secret Sisters Feb 18, 2009, 8:20pm EST
lol
Ariel Storm Feb 18, 2009, 8:21pm EST
I have the laziest lifestyle. I take at least 2 naps a day.
JoAnne D. Feb 18, 2009, 8:21pm EST
I remember them, from when I had cable.
Ariel Storm Feb 18, 2009, 8:21pm EST
Good for her!
Angel sent from God Secret Sisters Feb 18, 2009, 8:21pm EST
I watched the Doctor's today I loved they showed that you can get a band on your stomach so you can not eat a lot!!
Ariel Storm Feb 18, 2009, 8:21pm EST
I was sorry when I heard one of them died.
Lesli B. Feb 18, 2009, 8:22pm EST
Sometimes I watch Biggest Loser.
Ariel Storm Feb 18, 2009, 8:23pm EST
I need to lose about 20-30 lbs and my dr gave me a med specifically to make me eat more :( Now all I do is eat.
Crystal R. Feb 18, 2009, 8:23pm EST
Hey guys. I almost forgot about the chat.
JoAnne D. Feb 18, 2009, 8:23pm EST
I expected the two fat ladies to be fatter, they were heavy set but somehow I was expecting can't get out of the chair fat.
Lesli B. Feb 18, 2009, 8:23pm EST
Hey Dan, what do you think of Alton Brown?
Ariel Storm Feb 18, 2009, 8:23pm EST
I would love to be able to work out like them. Then reality takes hold.
Ariel Storm Feb 18, 2009, 8:24pm EST
Hiya Crystal.
Crystal R. Feb 18, 2009, 8:24pm EST
I love reality television. When my friends ask "Why are these shows on?" I always have to say "Because of people like me."
JoAnne D. Feb 18, 2009, 8:24pm EST
Hey Crystal, glad you could make it.
Ariel Storm Feb 18, 2009, 8:25pm EST
I rarely watch it.
Crystal R. Feb 18, 2009, 8:25pm EST
I'm especially a fan of the trashy reality shows. Bad Girls Club, Rock of Love, etc.
Lesli B. Feb 18, 2009, 8:26pm EST
LOL @ JoAnne
JoAnne D. Feb 18, 2009, 8:27pm EST
Hi Lestie.
Crystal R. Feb 18, 2009, 8:28pm EST
Dan, Is Top Chef starting a new season soon?
Hello everyone!
Lesli B. Feb 18, 2009, 8:29pm EST
Someone mentioned frozen bananas, how about frozen grapes or blueberries? They are great!
Ariel Storm Feb 18, 2009, 8:30pm EST
Hi Priscilla, how you doing tonight?
favorite reality show, I really like Extreme Makeover - Hoe Edition
Ariel Storm Feb 18, 2009, 8:30pm EST
ymm...they are Lesli!
I'm good Ariel...and you?
Ashley M. Feb 18, 2009, 8:31pm EST
I dont like Rachel Ray. She's too cheerful all the time, Makes me want to smack her.
Ariel Storm , Feb 18, 2009, 8:08pm EST

lol, I always felt this way myself. But the day I saw Rachel Ray dog food...my not liking her was cemented.
other than that I don't really watch any reality shows anymore. I used to watch the plastic surgery ones~
JoAnne D. Feb 18, 2009, 8:31pm EST
That's what I like about Rachel, and if you don't have an ingredient she suggests alternate things.
Ariel Storm Feb 18, 2009, 8:32pm EST
not too bead Priscilla.
above...that should say Home Edition~
Crystal R. Feb 18, 2009, 8:32pm EST
I'm the odd one. I love Rachel Ray.
Well, I have to run~
Crystal R. Feb 18, 2009, 8:33pm EST
no JoAnne is with me :)
Ariel Storm Feb 18, 2009, 8:33pm EST
bye, was nice seeing you
Crystal R. Feb 18, 2009, 8:33pm EST
bye Priscilla
Tory H. Feb 18, 2009, 8:34pm EST
I'm a big fan of Food Network, but I like their nighttime programming more than their daytime shows.
Amanda "middle of nowhere" C. Feb 18, 2009, 8:34pm EST
I love reality t.v. shows, but I don't watch the healthy ones. Maybe I should. I suppose if I ate like the contestants on Survivor, I would lose a lot of weight...but I would be in a very bad mood!
Ariel Storm Feb 18, 2009, 8:35pm EST
I can't see eating the way they do.
JoAnne D. Feb 18, 2009, 8:36pm EST
bye priscilla
Ariel Storm Feb 18, 2009, 8:36pm EST
welcome back dan
Crystal R. Feb 18, 2009, 8:37pm EST
My aunt always watches Food Network late at night Tory. It is her favorite channel.
Christina L. Feb 18, 2009, 8:39pm EST
I don't know of many reality shows about healthy eating. The Biggest Loser is the only one I know of, but I don't watch it. I do like the Rachael Ray show though. I have just recently gotten into watching her through joining the viewing party for her show on Gather.
Ariel Storm Feb 18, 2009, 8:39pm EST
I make up for all your activity by napping and doing nothing lol.
Ariel Storm Feb 18, 2009, 8:40pm EST
Though I do have a total gym knockoff that I use regularly when I'm feeling up to it.
Crystal R. Feb 18, 2009, 8:40pm EST
Well I have to run to Blockbuster before Criminal Minds so I must go. Bye everyone.
