It Was All Good Just A Week Ago ...

A Jay-Z lyric is the title reference, but it was just a week ago that I got up, runny nose, stuffy head and all just to head into the city to tape another holiday special for Food Network. This was in the middle of my haze, but I was sooooooo excited to be a part of the show! The premise is like many of the holiday specials in the past with various hosts cooking with each other for a holiday dinner to be enjoyed by all. A couple of months ago I got the invitation to be a part of it. That's something I don't think I thought about in the pursuit of a cooking show, the additional shows that come with the territory. I gotta tell you, this is all still pretty neat for me and I think it will be for a long time.

Reading one of her blog postings and I see "How Did That Get On My Plate" didn't get renewed.

Well, I got news that How'd That Get On My Plate will remain a 13 episode series and will not go into the next season. I really like the show for the content and enjoyed working on it. I met some great people across the country and look forward to working with the network to find another show to work on for the night time audience. The show will continue to run, so catch them! They aren't done yet, just actually did a voice over for the apple episode last week. Thanks to everyone that watched it and sent me comments about it. The support is appreciated!

I think How'd that get on my plate was too much like other shows. Unwrapped and the secret life of food were very similar.

Sunny did a great job and I think her personality was good for that kind of show. She seems like a lot of fun, the show was just too "same old thing".

I've met Alton more times than Sunny

The holiday special will be worth watching this year if AB is in it!!

I posted on her blog this morning and she replies to posters. Wow.

She seems very nice.

I read several entries in her blog last night and she's funny. Got a kick out of her talking about bumping into her range on the set with her thighs and accidentally keep turning it on.

She knows about us!
I replied again to her post and this part of what she wrote:

Wow cool! I am glad everyone has been nice to her.

They are going to renew Cooking for Real ... correct? If so we need to give Sunny a forum and add her blog.

I'm also so saddened to hear that the show won't be renewed.

Yes, you're right! It IS too much like Unwrapped and the Secret Life Of.

I would tend to think that it's the FN's fault for making that blunder - even though some thought the show would be a big hit! I like it as well. I had just given the show high thoughts!

I guess Unwrapped has millions of viewers watching it since it debuted around early summer '03. Hopefully, they'll run a marathon of all the previous episodes, and I'll be able to record them all so that I can reflect back on how the show was so fastinating to me!
