My husband and I got rid of cable about 3 years ago, my goal was to try to kick a nasty habit we had developed of spending several hours a night watching TV. It would have been one thing if we were obsessed about a show, however it was mindless TV starring. Unfortunately once we got rid of cable we discovered Netflix and Hulu. We still have a TV problem.
However, when we had cable, I never really watched that much of the Food Network. The idea of watching a cooking show always seemed silly to me. I can't keep up with the host, who flies through a recipe in 30 minutes, skipping all the waiting and clean up! Also, I've always had kitchen envy.
This weekend my husband and I dog sat for his parents, who have cable; and I discovered Alton Brown. Oh. My. I'm hooked!
The only draw back has been that the show was canceled last year, and started airing so long ago that it's not available online. Boo.
Science and cooking together with humor.
