Lori Alexander Loves Pioneer Woman

[formergothardite]

Wow, I didn't even know you needed a recipe for iced coffee. In case anyone's interested here's mine (and I better not find it gracing your personal blogs as your own work!!):

Coffee

Ice

Directions: Pour coffee over ice. Drink.

I'm sorry, but that is a family recipe of mine that we have been using for centuries. You stole this from my family!!!!eleventy!!!!!!

I've been a fan of those snark sites about the Pioneer Woman, and in a recent episode of the Food Network show, it did feature her version of chickenetti, but she used actual cheddar for the filming, but it still had condensed cream of crap soup in it. As for other recipes, I'm also one who gives the correct attribution if I didn't come up with the recipe, as well as saying the ways I dicked around with it to make it work for me. For years before I heard about the Pioneer Woman blog, I had occasionally put some cream cheese in mashed potatoes, but I've only put in a little bit, not the whole brick like she does.

Pioneer Woman is so awkward to watch and a phony to boot. I do visit her blog on occassion, though. I love the pics of her dogs and horses. Ina Garten is just as awkward IMO, but I enjoy her recipes so.../end random thought.

Lori Alexander is a Monster lacks critical thinking skills, so how could we expect her to understand that reality tv is, in fact, not reality.

Was first drawn to PW's blog 3-4 years ago because of food porn photos then stayed around for a while to read. After about 6 months, it became apparent that there was very little there there due to her constant recycling of topics:

food porn involving lovely photos of fatty, greasy, sugary recipes.

husband & kids, other family

animals

her nether end and its neurological issues

Dropped it from the RSS feed then and haven't gone back until now. Website's been updated but it's the same content.

Lori's a misguided toad who - unwittingly, just as she does everything else - gives harmful advice to her readers. But a monster?

[miffy]

Most 'famous' bloggers are fake to some degree. They are usually people who have some kind of background in journalism or abnormally good at writing copy. It seems rare that fame & money from a blog is natural. Its just a different way for a freelance writer to make money.

She advised a woman to beat her two-and-a-half year old son until it hurts.

does anyone have a good recipe for toast?

seriously, if I need a recipe, I google it, pick three recipes and tweak it- if I don't like an ingredient, it goes. if it needs bacon or more cheese, I add it. this doesn't make it MY recipe, just more to my taste. I also don't publish my edible abominations!

Instead, we would all love to have a monthly status report on the state of your saggy bottom. And not so occasional shots of your SO's derriere. :roll:

I live on a farm and have a husband with a very nice rear end. Unfortunately, we don't have 20 million dollars, so I can't blog about keeping it real as a farm wife. And to think, I have age-old family recipes for ice cubes slathered in less cold water, and popcorn with butter drizzled over it. The world will never know the glory of my culinary skills! Boo. :(

[formergothardite]

I have an amazing recipe for a glass of milk if anyone is interested.

You could try PW's recipe!

Nope. But if it were a glass of Dr. Pepper I'd be all over it.

I'm not really that good enough of a chef to tackle complex recipes like Dr. Pepper in a glass. Perhaps someone else can help out. I did finally master blueberries in a bowl. That was tough, but the end product is well worth the time it takes to learn how to make it.

The comments are hilarious especially the one who prefers to harvest her own "free-range" organic ice.

:( Well, hell! I can't figure our Dr. Pepper in a can, either. So, there my Pepper sits, waiting patiently for me to drink it. Perhaps, I will head over to Food Network dot com. I saw a recipe for frozen grapes there once. *Fingers crossed that they will tell me how to drink my Pepper*

Also, I am just in awe that you have mastered blueberries in a bowl. My mind is blown. I just can't fathom.....

Lori is a Fucking Monster waxes rhapsodic about Pioneer Woman.

lorialexander.blogspot.com/2013/06/the-pioneer-woman.html

Lori hasn't learned the lesson that when reading a lifestyle blog, you are comparing your unedited footage to someone else's highlight reel. Ree Drummond probably doesn't "build her husband up" all the time. Now that she is famous, the family probably isn't working on the ranch every spare moment. It's just a persona, one that she likely does not always embody.

Television is fiction. Fiction thrives on conflict, and unhappy families are a great sources of entertaining conflict. It's been this way since the Greek tragedies, since Babylonian myths, since the Bible. If this hasn't changed in about 10,000 years of modern homo sapiens history, it will not change for you now, Lori.

"They live on a cattle ranch. They work very hard. They go to church every Sunday."

Does this sound like a fourth grade essay to anyone else?

Gwyneth Paltrow has a whole bunch of "recipes" in her new cookbook:

You get extra points with me for referencing Pie Near Woman :lol: Awesome :wink-kitty: Did you know Rechelle was behind it? If you haven't read her blog entry about what happened during a weekend visit with her hero you should. Ree's really something else. Rechelle comes across as slightly too preoccupied with Ree, but Ree comes off a LOT worse in the story. rechelleunplugged.com Hope I broke the link right.

Ok- so I went to her blog and I couldn't find that she said anything bad about Ree. I admit I skimmed the posts, but am I missing something? Did I not ready the right posts?

[lizziesmom]

She has a picture of Ree and her family on her site. The blog is Sunday, June 30th.

Yeah- I must be looking right past it. I found a whole series of posts from several years ago in which she visits the ranch and generally gushes about Ree. That's all I could find.

I admit to watching The Pioneer Woman every week but not for the food. I watch because of her dog. We had a Basset Hound (his name was Lyle) and I miss him to this day, even though he died 15 years ago. I like watching her Basset and, unless I am seeing double, which is entirely possible, I think there is another Basset Hound on the ranch as well.
