My man, Gordon Ramsay

I don’t get much time to watch the T.V. but when I do get the opportunity I try and watch any show with Chef Gordon Ramsay in it.  He is a British chef that has a few shows on the BBC network that I really enjoy watching. 

May 2004 saw Gordon Ramsay star in the series Ramsay’s Kitchen Nightmares, a series of four one-hour programmes. The program was launched at the same time with Gordon’s recipe book Gordon Ramsay Kitchen Heaven which is on my wish list, along with Gordon’s autobiography, Humble Pie.  Shortly after, Gordon was given two weeks to direct a group of celebrities towards Michelin standard cooking in the ITV series Hell’s Kitchen.

2005 confirmed Gordon as one of the UK’s major television talents. A second series of Ramsay’s Kitchen Nightmares was followed by the very successful US version of Hell’s Kitchen for Fox TV. November brought the debut The F-Word, a high-octane food show with cooking, and celebrity guests. All the action was set against the backdrop of a full working kitchen and over the course of the show Gordon and his brigade prepared a three-course menu for diners.

My sister was really impressed with a T.V. celebrity chef years ago, which I could remember that old farts name, sometimes when  I watch Chef Ramsay I think of my sister’s fascination with her favorite chef and it makes me smile because I have my own chef now, and he does fascinate me.  If you get a chance – check him out!

Got Milk?

This was just too funny not to post here. I love milk, but hate it when it comes out of your nose!

Whitewater rafting in the Poconos

Premier whitewater rafting on the Lehigh River in the Poconos, Pennsylvania.  Wow, sounds good to me.  I haven’t gone rafting in such a very long time, probably since my teenager was little.  I remember going to a place in West Virginia with my sister and her kids and having a blast rafting down the whitewaters.

I really am tired of winter and am thinking of things that we can do come summer time.  The Poconos is PA is a great place any time of the year and I’m sure that there is tons of  FUN for all abilities and ages.

Guess we will be busy this summer watching Cher in Las Vegas and Lehigh River rafting in the Poconos in PA, sounds like a good start in my planning calendar.

Making plans for Friday “Date Night”

Am hoping that this Friday evening hubby and I will go out to dine at the new Red Lobster here in our neighborhood.  For Christmas my sister sent us gift cards for Red Lobster and I have been anxious to use them but we haven’t gone out for a “Date Night” since the holidays.  I love that restaurant, great seafood that is affordable and there is no need to get too dressed up for the meal.  Now I just need to figure out what movie is out that we both will enjoy, that can be the challenge.  Hubby will eat anything, anytime, anywhere, but picking a movie that makes us both happy isn’t always easy.  I’m sure there is something out there that I can find that will please us both.

Cher is replacing Celine Dion at Caesars!

I heard on a radio spot the other day the Celine Dion is leaving Caesars Palace in Las Vegas.  I didn’t get to hear all of what they said but I did hear loud and clear that Cher is replacing Celine with a show of her own come May of 2008.  How cool is that, I mean Celine is awesome but Cher is still the Queen, even after all these years.

 When I was in my 20’s and 30’s I had a lot of people telling me that I resembled Cher, Marlo Thomas and Olive Oyle.

I remember watching the Sonny and Cher show along with all the other Variety Shows that were so popular in the 60’s and 70’s.  Laugh-In was by far the coolest of them, Sonny and Cher were on that show a few times, along with just about every other celebrity in those days.

It was sad to see Sonny and Cher break up, but he got into politics and she went on to bigger and better things, one of them being the guy from KISS, Gene Simmons – the guy with the huge long tongue.  Of course she also went and made movies, outrageous videos and kept coming out with new song hits one right after another – and looking great the whole time. 

I’m sure that I have several of her C.D.s and probably still have an album or two, and a handful of cassettes that are buried somewhere in the basement.  I feel the need to break some of those out soon and take a listen.  Haven’t heard “If I could turn back time” in a while or “Half Breed” or even “All I ever need is you”

When I heard she was coming to Las Vegas I found a great web-site Cherworld.com. I’m sure hubby will like to check it out, he has always had the hots for Cher and Barbara Streisand both.  Hey, maybe going to Vegas and seeing her show would be an idea for a much needed long weekend getaway!  Sounds like I need to email him the link for the Tickets to see Cher in Las Vegas and start the hinting, wish me luck, I’m feeling lucky.
