10 Things I've learned from watching the Food Network

Confession I'm obsessed with the ....  

    I could watch it all day, everyday. I'm always looking for a new dish to create in the kitchen, or a new way to season a favorite recipe. So, here's 10 things I've learned from shows like; Restaurant Impossible Cutthroat Kitchen CHOPPED Diners, Drive-Ins & Dives The Pioneer Woman   If you haven't watched any of these, you're missing out. Just watch at least one of each episode. Now to the ten things!  

1- The Pioneer Woman's main ingredient is butter, at least a whole stick

2- You can make a really good dry rub with cayenne pepper & brown sugar

3- Guy Fieri has the best job

4- It's not impossible to cook an entire meal using an ice skate as a knife

5- Dragonfruit has hardly any flavor, it just looks amazing

6- You can "easily" make a gourmet dish in 30 minutes or less

7- Once you've had cream cheese in your mashed potatoes, you won't go back

8- Normal bacteria count for a cutting board is around 50-100 (so random, but interesting)

9- If I turn on the TV before dinner, you're either going to starve, or get some kind of meal from CHOPPED that I've tried to create in the kitchen

10- That ice cream machine can be a bitch
