“How the hell is Ina not Obese?”
Must be viewing the show on your phone, because she’s HUGE on my LCD.
I’m thinking the “How in the hell is Ina NOT obese” comment must have been in response to someone else saying on Twitter that she was not.
She’s all of, what, 5’2″ and you can see her weight, although her shape remains an undefined mystery under her baggy shirts. I think we can safely say Ina would fall into the category of being considered medically obese.
Medically obese, definitely. MORBIDLY OBESE, probably.
Eating her way to the grave, one “good” ingredient after another!
Could be that Jeffrey likes a zaftig woman, especially if Ina reminds him of his mother. Or, Ina’s girth could be the reason that Jeffrey spends so much time away from home. I’ll need a glass of very good wine to try and figure it out :)
“Her shape remains an undefined mystery under her baggy shirts.”
Shents. Ina wears shents.
I’m going to guess that the Tweeter was referring to an older picture of her. Have you noticed that both Ina Garten and Emeril Lagasse have not gained weight, aged, lost any hair, etc.? Every print ad of them is at least 15 years old.
Or they’re Photo Shopped. Kind of like Paula Deen’s pictures in her magazine. So FAKE!!!
Same on mine, Dank. I’d like to see Ina’s facial expression when she’s handed the keys to a Hyundai loaner car while her Benz is being serviced. “White Hyundai, BLEGH!”
Hey, I drive a Hyundai! Not white tho, too hard to keep clean in Chicago. A nice blue-green one.
I would like to see her get her tushi into my small Hyundai Tucson! After all, it is a SMALL SUV!
But I wanted a GOOD car…how good does THIS look?
ROFLMAO!!! She probably IS a rental car snob. “Someone ate Chicken McNuggets in this car? How gross is THAT??
Rhetorical questions! How bad can that be? How easy is that? Who wouldn’t want to eat that? Just once I wish the film crew would answer her……..
After about five of Ina’s rhetorical questions, I’m screaming at the TV, “I don’t know, you tent-clad harpie, why don’t you just the hell tell me?!?!?”
When Ina asks her ubiquitous rhetorical questions, she probably doesn’t realize that people like me actually answer. Methinks that Ina might not be amused with the answers ;)
Yeah, about the mayonnaise…is there really a “bad” brand? Aren’t they all pretty much the same?
Other chefs on FN will say “here’s a time when you should use a good (fill in ingredient)” and “this is a time when really any kind will do. But not Ina. It ALWAYS has to be “good”.
As for the slightly paunchy, well-off, gay men…gotta love Michael, the florist…he looks like such a sweetie!
But you don’t understand, Gypsy! It REALLY makes a difference! :)
I duuno, I’ve had some bad mayo. :P
In an episode where she was making Chicken Salad Veronique, I believe, she mentioned using a good-quality mayonnaise but she also said in the same sentence “that doesn’t necessarily mean an expensive one”. It was clear from the hidden label that it was Hellmann’s she was using.
I know she’s an advocate of homemade chicken stock, but for most of us it’s more economical to buy the stock in the box. And with the low-sodium MSG-free varieties out there, there are some pretty good ones. And she does say, most times, after bragging on homemade that you can use “canned”.
I think she’d save herself a lot of grief if she would just rephrase what she says. When she says “good quality vanilla”, I think she’s really meaning PURE vanilla extract and not that nasty imitation vanilla flavoring you can buy. Just today in an episode called “Jeffrey’s Treats” she made strawberry tarts and for the pastry cream she mentioned using “pure vanilla extract” instead of saying “good-quality”, which leans more to suggesting the highest priced one. I don’t think that’s what she means. Don’t get me wrong though, she had a tendency to work my last nerve on things.
Ina doesn’t have kids and as a result she has lots of free time to make home made stock and comb fine food stores for good vanilla. She has plenty of money to shop specialty stores instead of slumming it like the rest of us in a supermarket. Imagine if she was the Octomom with kids hanging off every appendage as she makes her way through Grand Union pushing a grocery cart with a bad front wheel. Where would her Good Vanilla be then???
Agreed. If one used imitation vanilla, they should actually be shot. Out behind Ina’s barn. Like a dog.
So true, Sandra Lee’s liver. I’ve also seen the Dean and Deluca label on many of her spice tins. Expensive! And I don’t know if you could get it at a better price, but the olive oil Ina uses for everyday is $28 a bottle at Williams-Sonoma.
You don’t have to buy organic pure vanilla or even Nielsen-Massey vanilla for it to be good, although I do use the latter cause I find it at a good price (not Williams-Sonoma). But real, pure vanilla extract is available in the grocery store under a popular label.
Besides from what we see of her on the show in the Hampton grocery stores, I don’t suspect Ina does a lot of grocery shopping herself. I am sure she has lowly assistants to take care of her grunt work. Or T.R. will do it for her. :-)
I make my own stock, both turkey and beef, and refer to the days when the pot is simmering away on the stove as my “stock therapy” days. In my case, it isn’t a matter of food snobbery, but rather a necessity as I am allergic to chicken and chicken stock. I don’t follow Ina’s recipe, though as I use leftover bones and bits of meat rather than buying a bird just for the stock.
I do wish Ina would explain what separates the good from the blah ingredients as the uninitiated really don’t know. Just saying to use the good stuff is lazy and unhelpful.
The last one is the best.
“Any old Spartan brand shit will do.”
Classic!
definitely! I needed a screen wipe after reading that post.
I feel so validated that people other than FNH readers are picking up on the same shit.
The Spartan tweet was REALLY funny.
Ina’s ‘good’ market only carries ‘good’ everything.
Don’t forget the “good” pricetag on all those “good” products.
For one recipe she said to use ‘good kosher salt.’ Which I thought was a little extreme; kosher salt is kosher salt. While I admit Ina has some idiosyncrasies, I like her approach to food and try to mimic it in my own cooking and entertaining.
Got to love a fat girl that puts a stick of butter in everything!
Ina’s personal theme is MIKA’s ‘Big Girl (You Are Beautiful)’
Love the last one! THAT would be spew worthy. :)
I’m thinking it’s pretty darn hilarious that there’s someone out in the Twitterverse named “Eargasms.”
:-D
She’s really into aural sex.
Good one!!
OMG! Hilarious! Too clever!
Love the last one! THAT would be spew worthy. :)
I love this Twitter series on FNH. There are so many FN hosts to ridicule – I can’t wait to see who’s next!
Has anyone seen the episode where she’s cooking fish and chips for TR and says she’s known him since he was 15 and has never seen him with fish? That was fucking hilarious!!
Watching Jeff doing shopping and getting confused on what he’s buyin,It’s a wonder he doesn’t make a wrong turn on his way home and somehow wind up in Giada’s lawn party
Antidepressants are NOTORIOUS for causing obesity and making one cheerful and laughie-giggly.
Since Ina IS morbidly obese and NEVER wipes the grin/laugh off her face, I’ve come to the conclusion this woman’s been on antidepressants for a long, long time! (Obviously, too long)
I love the scenes of Ina driving her BMW or Mercedes to go to the shop (probably to buy a tub of good mayo). She must have had the seat altered to it could be moved 2″ from the steering wheel. How can someone drive with their nose practically touching the windshield… especially when they’re probably a size 22?
I cant stand her cooking! Making a sandwich (which she does often) does not constitute cooking…
Plus, i cant strand here constant American way of measuring ingredients,,,half a cup of onion, one cup of chopped cabbage….whatever happened to metric or imperial measurements??
While i am commenting,,,I also deeply dislike the pompous Guy from Guys Big Bite! A##H###! SO arrogant and cant pronounce most things correctly
