Huh. That's odd, for both of you. I could see if it was 9:30 here for me, but if you're Eastern... I usually check to see if anything's worth recording on Sunday a.m. anyways, before I head out to the farmer's market. I'll be sure to check 9:30 am and make sure that it's NOT accidentally airing then even tho the DVR guide says it ain't.

I won't be watching or looking for her show. I found her very white toast-y. Not my cup of tea. But I wish her luck, she seemed nice enough. Bet we see Jeffery on FN soon too.

She's great and I'm excited that she won. I'm actually a cook but I found her tips intriguing. I'm using her potato gratin in a muffin tin idea tonight, with aged white cheddar, instead of the swiss. Nummy.

She's a great cook/chef but a little bland for an on air talent.

Sorry to confuse you, Costa. I'm in California. I was referring to the fact that my system seems to be carrying this show on "Eastern Time" (12:30 pm EDT = 9:30 am PDT). Odd.

I too am in California and the show is on my HD Food Network channel at 9:30 and on the regular Food Network Channel at 12:30. On many of the cable networks, I get the eastern feed on the HD channels. It does show up as FN Star Winner Series.

Food Network always airs out here the same time slot as it airs back east. So if it airs at noon back east, it'll air at noon here. They don't simulcast across timezones.

Well, I live in the Sacramento area (DISH Network) and it comes on at 9:30 a.m. Didn't notice if it was different for HD and regular. I always automatically look at the HD channel.

Well, I live in the Sacramento area (DISH Network) and it comes on at 9:30 a.m. On both the HD and the regular channels. There's something else on here at 12:30. And the NFNS show always showed at both 6:00 p.m. (concurrent with the Eastern time zone) and 9:00 p.m. So I guess every cable/satellite system is different. Who knew?

In Seattle, HD Food Network is East Coast feed so we can watch it on the HD channel at 9:30 on Sunday.

Melissa is just irritating me. I am sure she is good, but I cannot even finish watching her show. I have never met her mother-in-law, but feel like I know the woman! OK, maybe I am just crabby cuz it is 95 out!

I just watched her show and thought she repeated herself too much. Should have written the recipe down but unfortunately I didn't. Trying to find it online but can't seem to locate it. That will teach me to write things down. I thought she did an okay job today with her show.

I don't know what she cooked or I'd help you find the recipes. The show isn't on here for another couple of hours.

the prducers had full power to edit out her repeated sentences and they did not. maybe they want to show her progression during the shows of how she gets better every week. that's my glass half full thinking.

You could be right, but for now, all I know is her MIL is French, and her MIL is French, oh and, her MIL is French. lol I probably will look up the recipes cuz it sounded good. She just grated on my nerves.

wait - her mil is French? But Debbie is Asian - Korean, well with a Southern twist that is! (maybe they told her to stay away from saying she has 4 KIDS?! I really thought we'd hear more on that line of thinking!) and I was being silly comparing Melissa's line to Debbie's famous/infamous line all season!

I enjoyed the show. She really does give a lot of cooking information. I actually will try making all three of the items on today's show. I found her informational w/out being too blabby, although I agree she got a little too caught up in the MIL story at the point where she was talking about the food processor vs the hand-mixed (though I agree w/Melissa - food processors rule!) Looking forward to the next show! I'm sure she will get better and better!

That salad dressing looked delish. I'm definitely going to try it.

My DVR didn't pick it up. Did they change the name of the show? Will they be rerunning this??? I'm bummed.

Okay, I finally watched the entire show tonight. That torte looked delicious but Hell will freeze over before I make a homemade pie crust. If it wasn't for the pie crust, the torte looked easy to make. But everything she made looked very tasty. My biggest complaint is the music they play when she's prepping has to go. It sounds like porn movie music.

I didn't hear a lot of repeat sentences <58> She mentioned her MIL twice... once when she described how the got the recipe and once when she mentioned how she deviates from her MIL by using the food processor. (BTW, Lex, if you use a food processor, it makes making a crust a breeze. And there is NO comparison to homemade crust. Especially if you use that much butter!) I thought she created a really elegant dinner for four that's pretty healthy, too (although I'd pass on the bacon). And all for under $10? I'm gonna have to try that applesauce granita. <58> FWIW, I heard her mention her MIL twice, her mother twice, the chef who gave her the vinaigrette recipe twice, and Paris a bunch of times. I don't think she really repeated herself that much, not any more than any other chefs do. But I do agree that music during the prep segment was awful and thankfully that was the shortest segment!

roflol Lexie - (*ahem, and how would you know?!! ;) ;) ) LOL I still love pillsbury already made pie crusts in the refrigerator section - but there is nothing finer than a homemade crust - but I'm not doing that on an every day basis!! For my Dad's birthday - well if its NOT hot out! I'll make an apple pie from scratch!! Once a year - that's all I'm up to!
