Tequila Coolwhip Milkshake anyone?

That's kind of funny that they would put Food Network Emmy nominee when she is nominated for her hair. Hair isn't a talent.

That is definitely weird that they would call her an emmy nominated television star...if it is her hair stylist that was nominated. I am sure she won't be arguing that point.

[Food Network Fan]

Is that really why she was nominated? I though Food Network Addict was just going for the humor when I read his blog on it.

[BerryBaby]

If it was only for fun, I sure fell for it!

[BerryBaby]

I just looked it up on the Internet and she is nominated for Best Hair! It's a new catagory this year.

Do you think she does her own hair styling for the show?

There are quite a few with nice hair on FN...Nigella has beautiful hair, so does Ingrid and Paula's hair is really beautiful. Wonder how they decided on Sandra...what was the criteria?

[Food Network Fan]

That's really strange.

She's got to make her money while they're all still popular.

McDonalds has had these items on their menu for a while here, the chicken is an obvious attempt to copy chick-fil-a, and it is fairly close, although the bun is not great, it often turns out soggy.

Their sweet tea is the real deal, some say too sweet, but that is the way it is supposed to be. Since I have quit caffeine and sugar drinks, no more for me!
