Valerie's Home Cooking - General Discussion - Valerie's Home Cooking

And I'm tired of the constant dinner guests already.  The show is becoming more about them than the food.  The fake conversation.....ugh.

There was one of her friends from the "book club" whom I wanted to slap senseless (a blonde with glasses).  She seemed to be aspiring for open mike night at Zany's. 

Valerie:  This salad has bacon in it.

Bitch Guest:  Well, bacon's my middle name!

My sides are still hurting from laughing so hard at her bon mots.  *eye roll* If I had this woman for a friend, I'd be on trial for murder because I was ready to throttle her after five minutes.  Cutesy-poo is okay when you're five, not when you're 55.

I realized that Valerie made biscotti (labor intensive) but the deal with pouring hot espresso over ice cream seems underwhelming.  Ina Garten has also done this.  The notion of being pressured to finish dessert before the ice cream melts sucks all the fun out of it.  Personally, I would prefer biscotti served with ice cream minus the espresso.
