In defense of Rachael Ray

When I saw this headline on CNN, I immediately thought the byline was going to be somebody like Beatrice Ray or Eunice Ray or Rachael Ray Sr.

Here is the thing, there are two types of people that watch cooking shows, people who are food snobs and people who could give an undercooked capon's breast about cooking and just want to be entertained. The first watch all of those nap-inducing PBS shows like Julia Child or Greetings from the Boring Cooking School. The second love Iron Chef, Emerill, or Yan can Cook.

Rachael, appeals to neither. The first group immediately scoff and almost vomit their truffle infused rabbit when they hear her say the first ingredient is frozen tater tots. The second group almost vomit their third helping of Doritos dipped in Velveeta when they hear her, cat rolled over by a desk chair, voice.

I don't know why but certain celebrities annoy the Lake. Hilary Duff, Racheal Ray, the annoying uncle that did the Bullwinkle impersonations on Full House. That's fine, we all have our own preferences, shoot the Field hates Scarlett Johannson. If there are people who need defense it isn't RR, it's people who at least spell their first name correctly. Stay tune for my article entitled In Defense of Rabid Woodchucks from Arkansas (It's the first in a series).
