I finally caught one of Aarti's "parties." And I may not catch another one. I sort of had wanted her to win because I wanted to see Indian food featured on a show on FN. Um, yeah, adding cardamom to everything does not Indian food make. And her cutesy language (huggy buggy bread pudding, ugly duckling salad) was a 100% absolute turnoff. I'll give her one more chance, but that's it. Food Network really has not been able to produce a true star. This one is definitely not going to make the wall of fame unless she actually does start cooking REAL food with REAL names.

Now I'll never find the link - but there is some youtubes with Aarti's DH _ HAH I know there are links on the Food network humor website!! (He really is strange btw imo watch her bday youtube) http://foodnetworkhumor.com/ GAL - if you dont watch the water boil - you may just "forget" you put the water to boil... and well.. when the house gets a "funny smell " RUN to the kitchen, and turn off stove - dont wonder where the water went.... DD went to a friends house and called "Mom how do you make sweet tea?" me - "well, you boil some water" dd - "how much water?" me - "some" then you add 2 "family style tea bags" or 4 regular tea bags dd - mom, whats family style? me - well if its a refrigerator tea bag, you still want to boil some water and put it in the boiled water - it makes better flavor.. dd - Mom, can you come over, bring some tea bags and help us? me - *sigh, ok... dd - how much sugar? me - how sweet, how large the container? dd - we dont know. me - I never measure. But you have to add sugar to the boiling water, sugar doesnt disolve in cold water - per 2 quarts no more than 1 cup of sugar (which is WAY TOO SWEET, 1/2 cup sugar is sweet enough)

I loved the chicken she made...I liked watching her make it so much I made it myself yesterday afternoon. It was very, very good. I would totally make that huggy buggy bread pudding too! I'm really enjoying her show, but yesterday's episode was photographed so strangely: they had long sequences that were filmed in almost extreme closeup. Very odd.

Haven't seen Aarti's show yet, I'm usually gone at noon on Sundays and I haven't found any time they're doing repeats.

Who, I love your recipes. However, I have a bay window behind my sink and in the morning I have a tiny little patch of sunlight. So I put my pitcher of water and teabags in my little patch of sunlight and have perfect sun tea.

I watched last Sunday's show, and that will be the last show I watch. I thought I'd like to see her do Indian food, but she's not. She's adding a few random Indian spices to American food. Um, yeah, that's not Indian. And the cutesy names for her dishes? So annoying that even if she DID make something I was interested in, she lost me as a viewer. I'm sorry but I don't think Food Network found a "star" this time around.

CHOPPED CHAMPIONSHIP IS TONIGHT!! I love Madison and am really rooting for him. Is it just me, or does Alex Guarneschelli seem somewhat, ahhh . . . medicated lately?

OK, the show is worth watching if only to see the end. All of the judges are bawling when it's over LOL (but I'm not going to tell you why).

FANTASTIC show, and I loved, loved, loved the ending! It was well worth it - exactly the kind of competition you want for a final w/a $50K prize!

Tom got a show "Outrageous Food". Watching it now (Sunday night, 11p PST). Big food. Like "Man vs Food" but he's not trying to eat it himself. Seems to be about the biggest, hottest, craziest foods/dishes.

Has Aarti lost her job already? I've looked for her show on several Sunday mornings and have never found it.

Thanks, Tishala - I saw a commercial for it today looks like they're working on her appearance. No more foliage in the hair.

I saw that new episodes are starting in January. This is one show I will never watch. The woman brings absolutely nothing new to FN, and instead brings much to annoy me!
