I love to cook, and I have learned a lot about cooking and using different ingredients just by watching the show. Like, I have learned to heat up my oil with the garlic in it instead of tossing the garlic into the hot oil. And, some nights staring into the abyss that our refrigerator can be at times I feel like I am on an episode of "Chopped." Let's see... how do I combine an overripe tomato, a can of mushroom soup and some leftover pizza into a meal...? Hmm...
Anyway, DH and I have a lot of fun trying to guess which contestant is going to be cut, or discussing which dish we would never eat, or trying to figure out how to remake a dish we've seen on the show at home. We make fun of the contestants, and add "and you suck" when Chef Ron Ben-Israel pushes a dish back that he has just tasted. Not nice, yes, but a fun bonding experience nonetheless.
Hmm... wonder if I can make that pumpkin souffle I saw on "Iron Chef America" Thanksgiving edition... where can I find me some of them ramekins...? Yeah, I said it, ramekin. That's Chef Talk, you know....

LOL; we too like to watch some of the cooking shows. A few years back we were hooked on Hell's Kitchen and Master Chef, following the start of the competitions to the end.
