We Miss Food Network

Just so ya know, in case you missed it, the Pioneer Woman, she whom we love for her wonderful recipes, is going to be on Throwdown with Bobby Flay on the Food Network tomorrow (Wednesday) night. It is a special one hour- long Thanksgiving dinner throwdown, and Bobby and Co were at the Pioneer Woman’s ranch to film the episode.

My garlic mashed potatoes are hers. So is my chocolate cake. Cream of tomato soup. Asian rice noodle salad. Homemade ranch dressing. Jalapeno poppers. Buttered rosemary rolls. Homemade pizza dough and pizza sauce. Fig and balsamic pizza! What about my first successful pot roast of my entire life? All the Pioneer Woman. And even though my tiramisu (Sarah’s new favorite dessert) is mine, I made the Pioneer Woman’s first and adapted it to get to mine.Of course, Dave and I won’t be watching Throwdown with Bobby Flay, because we don’t have cable, but I think Steph and Aunt Kellie are Pioneer Woman fans, and they can watch it! She has a new cookbook coming out sometime, and also a novel based on her life with her rancher husband. She is definitely famous now!

Update: I forgot to mention that the movie rights to the Pioneer Woman’s book, which isn’t even out yet, have already been bought, and the word on the street in Hollywood is that Reese Witherspoon has been tapped to play the Pioneer Woman. So if you think she is famous now, just wait till the movie comes out! Also, I am calling Grandma today. They have cable, and get the Food Network, and I bet she will let us come over and watch the show with them tonight.
