Good Eats, Alton Brown and a nasty rabbit!
I was watching a show on Food Network tonight and the subject, as you can probably guess given the title of this post, was Good Eats and narrated, of course, by Alton Brown.
If you're not familiar with the show, here's the description of it from the Food Network site:
...or you could look at the very good summary of Brown & Good Eats on the Wikipedia site.
Anyway, this show was an hour long and is about the creation of the Good Eats show and some of the behind the scenes shenanigans that go on. Tonight was the first showing of it, but it's going to be on 5 more times in the next week. Of course my main interest was to learn more about the infamous W, the saucy sexpot of the show. While it was slightly disappointing to learn that she's actually Brown's chiropracter--it was good to see her. Mmmmm.
Several of Alton Brown's family members were on the show (mother, daughter, and grandmother) and most, if not all, of his production and post-production people had their 5 minutes of fame on this show. It was interesting but unless you're a big fan of the show it's probably not worth watching. Lots of inside jokes and fooling around--but interesting enough if you've watched the show for a long time.
There were a few references in the show to the cult favorite movie Monty Python and the Holy Grail. So in my own personal ode to the movie, here's a few rabbit shots of mine. No blood with this rabbit though. Sorry.
Here's my rabbit looking at me warily...
...and in this picture he's even more cautious and turns toward me to give his full attention
And in this shot the gosh-darn critter tries to look real cute by scratching. Awwwwww...
If you're not familiar with the show, here's the description of it from the Food Network site:
Pop culture, comedy, and plain good eating: Host Alton Brown explores the origins of ingredients, decodes culinary customs and presents food and equipment trends. Punctuated by unusual interludes, simple preparations and unconventional discussions, he'll bring you food in its finest and funniest form.

Here by way of michele today!
I don't recognize the template, you must have changed since my last visit. I love the green.
Michele sent me this time. According to the weather people, we were supposed to get big storms tonight. Did you have any rain?
Michele sent me to check on how your weekend was coming along.
Bunny face, you've got the cutest little bunny face!!

Tomatoes are fickle aren't they. I think a person has to buy 6 or 8 varieties to luck out to get ones that match the random weather pattern that may develop.
Actually, I read an article about Mr. Brown recently. It talked about how he rides his motorcycle to distant cities to do shoots. I'm not a big fan of the FN - it all looks the same after a while - but I find him to be a fascinating person.
Tazz: I watched the first episode of Feasting on Asphalt tonight also. It was okay. I'll tape the next one but after that, I don't know. As for the tasks, I didn't finsh them all but I did do most.
I love bunnies. They're just so sweet to look at.
But my understanding is they're a serious bear to keep as pets. So I'll stick to observing them happily from afar. And to viewing your exquisite pictures of them.
Seriously, have not seen the show but might be one hubby would enjoy.
Great pics of the rabbitt! I agree with Judy...NO COOKING of the rabbitt!! :)
Bele Chere is finally over...so life can get back to normal here...
Here from Michele's!
Do you mind terribly my returning again so soon. It's so cozy here after all. Like your template, did I mention that before?
Also, are you going to say you ate your bunny for supper, because if so, that's wrong.
Cute little itcy bunny.
By the way, I think Sally Feilds' line perfectly describes how I feel right now. LOL.

Love your blog. And the hummingbird. Clever tag line. :)
Great rabbit shots. Love rabbits.
