Thank you! I am touched.

So what did you make with the green onions, lime, and parsley?

the green onions and parsley went into a cheesy potatoes dish i made. (is that how you spell potatoes??! yikes.) the lime was part of a yummy southwestern chicken dish. both are pretty good.

Food pornography is what's goin' on here.

You know, sometime ago listening to NPR, I heard a piece on 'food pornography.' Basically, what they were saying--insofar as i remember-- is that the increasing interest in food television can largely be attributed to food networks borrowing filming techniques from the porn industry.

Things such as: overmiked sounds of clicking and beating the food, lighting, making the complex seem easy, camera repetition over certain parts of the food and a variety of other things.

What's more--I have a friend that films commercials for a production company. According to him, food is THE most difficult shots to take. More than music videos, action shots, or what have you.

Just thought I'd share.

I'm hungry now.

ummm.....i'm.....speechless.

i must say that all this "knowledge" puts a new twist in my mind to the food channels' chef bobby flay's name.

no, i don't know what that means.

right on, jonbon. mb, i'm telling you, watch an episode of dexter, if only to see the sequence played during the opening song. you're not sure if he's cooking breakfast, killing someone, or doing, uhh, some type of deed (sorry, i wasn't sure if this was a family channel).
