BELMCstar @BELMCstar (1341) • Australia 15 Apr 07

What form of OCD do you suffer from? I am sure that everyone has something that they need to do all the time, perhaps without being aware of it. When I hang clothes on the line, all the pegs must be of the same colour as each...

thewellnessretreat It would be Rachael Ray without a doubt for me. I think she looks a very nice down to earth, friendly, hometown girl. I love her cooking and I love her shows. I am not a movie person at all, so I wouldn't care too much about meeting most celebrities. If I...

Why do you watch Good Eats?

krebstar5 @krebstar5 (1266) • United States 24 Mar 07

I personally don't really watch Good Eats for the recipes as much as I do for the information. I love how Alton Brown will go into details about cuts of meat, and the origins of food. I also feel that understanding some of the...

subathra @subathra (3519) • India 6 Apr 07
