INTERVIEW: Food Network's Sandra Lee Launches New Show Eclipse Magazine - Los Angeles,CA,USA Food Network star Sandra Lee's new show, Money Saving Meals, premieres this Sunday, May 10 th . I had a chance to chat with Sandra about her current hit ...

Okay. I watched it today and I was happy with all of what she made, but I think her price for making the pie crust from scratch was way off, I am certain I can make it for less than a dollar. Many of the prices she gives are much more than they are here locally but I realize in bigger cities prices will be higher, so she really can't give prices nationwide. The asparagus she gave the price of 1.69 though and here it's 1.99 fresh, and frozen isn't over 4.00. I think I will like this show much more than Semi homemade but it's tough to give a base price for everything that would be across the board.

I like this show, more than her other one, here it seems she is trying to be more of a real person. Her other show I always felt she, thought she was above everybody and look down on people. At least with show I do not get that. I will hold off on critiquing this show till I see more of it. Today was not bad, but I had a hard time focusing on the show, not very much enthusiasm for me. Really no attention getters, other than the pricing, and it would be extremely hard to make it comparable every place.

Oops! I forgot all about it and I meant to watch. Have to try and catch it next week.

Bad timing for me...we were at Mother's Day Brunch. Was it fabulously, delicious!

$1.66 to make pie crust??

At the time of viewing, I happened to have AB's baking cookbook in my hand. Somehow that balances out watching it Anywho, I checked his ingredients....5. Flour, butter, lard, salt, ice water. I'd be surprised it would cost a buck to make.

[Pluff Mudder]

Maybe she was using some fancy bottled water.

Probably brought to the kitchen by these guys:

ALTHOUGH she's never claimed to be clairvoyant, Sandra Lee had a hunch 17 months ago that the economy was going to go south. While she's the first to say the only economics she speaks is the home variety, Lee had a feeling that economic forces were going to put most Americans on a budget.
