Today Show’s Country Kitchen Delights

Jeanne — Tue, 10 Nov 2009 07:03:00 +0000

My grandmother is from the south and there are some signature dishes that I really enjoy. One of those meals is potatoes gratin. They made the classic dish on the Today show, but with some modern touches including roasted red pepper and dried red chili. It sounds like it could be a nice alternative to the traditional recipe.

They also made a Caesar salad and, instead of adding chicken, they made some catfish croutons to add to the lettuce. They actually looked really good but I’m allergic to fish so I can’t try this recipe.

Watch the segment here:

Indulge in Some Buttermilk Fried Chicken

Jeanne — Mon, 09 Nov 2009 07:02:17 +0000

I try to eat a healthy, well-balanced diet but once in a while, I think it’s okay to indulge. Unfortunately, I tend to do most of my indulging in the winter months but that’s a different story for a different day.

On the Today show, they made some delicious-looking buttermilk friend chicken. I don’t eat fried chicken very often but there are times when I really crave it and I think that this recipe looks incredible because I really love the flavor that buttermilk adds to food.

Taylor Swift Pokes Fun at “The View” on Saturday Night Live

Jeanne — Sun, 08 Nov 2009 20:54:16 +0000

Taylor Swift was the musical guest and the host on Saturday Night Live this weekend. I thought she was fantastic. In fact, I really wasn’t expecting her to have such a good sense of humor nor did I expect her to be so rough with some of her jokes. Her monologue contained some references to the incident with Kanye West and the rumors about her love life (with both Joe Jonas and Taylor Lautner) so if you haven’t seen it, check it out.

SNL also likes to make fun of The View so I wasn’t surprised that they found a way to work Taylor into the skit. She portrayed Kate Gosselin, who recently was a guest host on the daytime talk show. I thought it was pretty good (the hair was atrocious). Watch the video:

Woman With Two Vaginas Talks to Tyra Banks

Jeanne — Fri, 06 Nov 2009 20:56:18 +0000

Lauren Williams is an exceptional medical phenomenon. The woman was born with two vaginas, and had her first televised interview with Tyra Banks, which airs today.

The 29-year-old woman says that everything she would experience with one vagina, she has with two. She reveals to Tyra, "I’ve got two uteruses. Just one to each (fallopian tube), then they go down to two cervixes, and then it did go down to the two vaginas."

When asked if she endures two menstrual cycles, she responded with, "I think so because my periods generally last about 21 days…When I was a teenager I had really heavy periods…I would have to change pads every hour."

Of course, Tyra had to ask about whether Lauren can have children, despite her unique condition. Doctors believe it is possible. She explains, "The doctor in England said pregnancy-wise, it should be okay…if I do get pregnant it should push the other uterus over to one side and keep it out of the way. Me and my partner would need to plan on using condoms just in case I got pregnant in the other one."

Wow. Can you imagine that?! One is certainly enough, I can’t imagine having two!

Dr. Oz Names Food That Can Help Your Sex Life

Jeanne — Thu, 05 Nov 2009 16:29:55 +0000

Almost everyone is interested in how they can improve the intimacy in their lives so it’s no surprise that Dr. Oz has offered some good advice about foods that can enhance your sex life.

I can already hear some of you reaching for your grocery lists to add some items!

Here are the foods that he mentioned:

Apples – I was thinking it might have something to do with the old adage “an apple a day keeps the doctor away” but it’s more simple than that. Apples are a natural breath freshener. Enough said.
Garlic – apparently, garlic increases blood flow in both men and women which, of course, is a good thing during sex.
Figs and bananas – these foods contain elements that might improve libido.
Wild yams – these could help increase genital sensitivity which, obviously, is pretty important!

I can’t comment on whether any of this is true but these natural techniques are a good alternative to trying more extreme measures if you just need a little boost in the bedroom.

Barbara Walters to Interview Sarah Palin

Jeanne — Thu, 05 Nov 2009 16:18:48 +0000

Barbara Walters might have been a journalist for longer but when it comes to scoring big interviews, it’s hard to beat the power of Oprah.

Walters is going to get her chance at needling former Alaskan governor, Sarah Palin, but not before the controversial woman sits down on Oprah in an episode airing on November 16, 2009.

To compensate, Walters’ interview will be aired in five parts on Good Morning America and will likely focus on Palin’s failed run for the White House (as John McCain’s vice president) as well as her new book, Going Rogue: An American Life.

It’s November sweeps, folks, so I’m not surprised that these two are scrambling to sit down with Palin. I’m not sure how much we are going to learn, though, since it’s hard to know whether Palin is telling the truth about anything.

I’m not saying that negatively but I just feel like there’s so much drama and secrecy surrounding her life. It would be interesting to see what she says, though.
