I have a new favorite thing. I stumbled across this recipe for BBQ Spaghetti, and came across the cutest, cookingest couple. Down Home with the Neely's airs Saturdays at 11 a.m. Eastern and Pacific time on Food Network, and Pat & Gina are my two new favorite Food Network personalities. They seem so sweet, I could get a cavity watching the show - except when Gina puts Pat in check. Then I know they're "keeping it real", even as they dish up some good down-home cooking, and some wisdom about their relationship, their business and what keeps their extended family together.
aside:: why do I like it so much when Gina puts Pat in check, hm?
Anyway, the recipes (Spicy Fried Wings, Roasted Cornish Hen with Creamed Collard Greens, Memphis Style BBQ Ribs, et. al.) are serious business. But what keeps me tuning in is that these two seem to have a genuine admiration and adoration for each other that comes across in all their interactions. I don't need much more incentive than this to watch The Neelys. And I love black love, don't you?
Dang, I stay away for a weekend and this blog explodes with excitement. I have to come back after work to get caught up. I'm so glad this blog is back.
It is my new fav cooking show also....i do love watching them together, it is just a beautiful thing...
