He Said She Said - Food Network

 
 
 
 
 
 
They were watching a Food Network show about Mexican Cooking.  It was early in the day, and nobody had had any coffee yet.
 
 
"Who the hell is this?" she yelled from the kitchen.  "Is this someone from Food Network Star who's auditioning to actually get a real show on the channel?"
 
"No," he yelled back from the living room.  "It's a real show... about Mexican cooking."
 
"She sounds terrible!" she yelled.  "She isn't convincing me at all.  There is no way she has girlfriends coming round for lunch.  In fact, I doubt she has any friends at all!"
  
"You are so mean!" he said.  "I guess this is why her show is on at 6am.  See, now you're making me think like a Next Food Network Star judge," he said.  "I keep thinking things like 'That looks like a mess' and 'There's nothing original about this dish!' "
 
"I know," she replied.  
 
"So she's been saying that this cake recipe is something everyone used to ask her mother to bring to parties.  But the recipe looks pretty easy to me.  Do you think maybe the family friends were saying 'Hey, just tell her to make that cake again.  I'll make the Mole, you make the tortillas... let her do something she can't fuck up.' "
 
"Oh now who's mean?" she laughed.
 
"She's putting the mixture in a bundt tin!  I hate those things!" he yelled.  "My mother brought one back from the US when I was a kid and I could never get the cake to come out whole!  It has so many ridges that the cake just sticks!"
 
"Well watch how she does it," she said, pointing at the TV.
 
"She USES HALF A POUND OF BUTTER TO GREASE IT!" 
 
"Well there you go," she smiled.  "You learnt something new today after all."
 
"Oh, shut up," he said.
