He jumped the shark doing the toothpaste commercials.

He jumped the shark doing the toothpaste commercials.

Respectfully disagree... it was that terrible sitcom they put him into that lasted - what, five episodes?

I still love watching him cook, though... never mind that the stuff he makes is too high-brow for me. If I can't order it out of the clown's mouth, I won't eat it.

 

[thraxx]

Shit i forgot about that..

I did see Sammy Hagar on his show....

 

[Catharsis70]

Emeril is the shit! I love to cook, probably my third biggest passion. Never saw one ep of the sitcom.... It had nothing for me. I love to watch him cook and learn new stuff though. I dont think he is too high brow at all. Makes even the hardest stuff seem pretty simple to make.

Joe Perry was also on, trying to look cool while hawking Joe Perry's brand of hot sauce. He looked pathetic. At least Sammy pulled it off without looking like a dork.

My husband loves Emeril. He gets a lot of ideas from the show. I, on the other hand, only can master stuff like hot dogs and mac and cheese.

 

[dailyvault]

Sorry, ThraxEm, I wasn't implying that Emeril was too highbrow. Just meant that I have very simple (and, admittedly, limited) tastes when it comes to food. I love to watch Emeril make salt-encrusted salmon, but I'd rather eat a cheeseburger.

So did you ever make the drinks Auntie?

 

[YourAuntieSocial]

Ha ha! You know, I actually looked it up on the Food Network site, having been a former bartender! I am still promising myself those watermelon margaritas, but I have had so much going on in the last four months. Feels like I haven't slept in that long. Been having to take care of my dad since he had a fall coming out of the shower. I deserve an "I can't believe it's not butter" fantasy with Scott Ian serving watermelon margaritas. Mmmm...

 

[DarbysDad]

Sorry to hear about your Dad; if you need to talk pm me. You rule!!! Hang in their leader of the PowerPuff girls.

I've had that fantasy...highly overated!
Sorry to hear about your father.

 

[remington69]

Sucks to hear about your Pop, Auntie. Hope he gets better.


My husband made a nice watermellon vodka slush not too long ago. He even served it in a watermellon rind. Good stuff.

that reminds me Mai Thai's are good in a fresh pineapple.

Here is the recipe... sorry for the delay. I used seedless watermelon. In place of orange flavor I used Midori melon flavor. Awesome! Works great with Vodka and Honey dew as well.

1 teaspoon lime zest
1/2 cup water
1/2 cup sugar
3 tablespoons coarse salt
1 lime wedge
1 cup watermelon puree (*see Cook's Note)
2 tablespoons fresh lime juice
1/2 cup premium 100 percent agave tequila
2 tablespoons orange-flavored liqueur (recommended: Grand Marnier or triple sec)
1 cup ice


In a medium saucepan, combine the lime zest, water, and sugar. Bring to a boil over medium heat, and cook, stirring, until the sugar dissolves. Remove from the heat. Cool to room temperature and strain out the zest. (Can be made in advance; keep in a covered container in the refrigerator.)
Chill a margarita glass in the freezer for 30 minutes. Place the coarse salt in a shallow dish or saucer. Wet the rim of the glass with a lime wedge and dip the glass into the salt, coating the top edge.

In a cocktail shaker, combine 2 tablespoons of the cooled lime syrup with the watermelon puree, lime juice, tequila, orange-flavored liqueur, and ice. Shake until frothy and well chilled, at least 1 minute. Strain into the prepared glass and garnish with a lime wedge.

*Cook's Note: To make the watermelon puree, remove seeds from fresh watermelon and cut into large chunks. Place in a blender and process until smooth and well pureed.

Yeah - I love to cook too. And the other day when I was home sick I got sucked into the food channel for almost 3 hrs and that's without watching it in ages.
