Smoking Chefs

maryihla @maryihla (103) • United States 4 Sep 09

Have you noticed how many of the chefs smoke on Hell's Kitchen and the other chef reality shows? Don't they know that nicotine numbs the palate? It's no wonder they all do so poorly in the taste challenges.

velentina @velentina (891) • Mauritius 16 Jul 12

chicospagal It sounds to me like you are doing every thing right. If you are not shrinking (not just #s on the scale), then it might be time to see a doctor. In answer to your question about diet pills, I am not currently taking anything, but have had success with Skinny...

I can check this off my bucket list!

chicospagal @chicospagal (180) • United States 24 Oct 10

"Buy a house" is listed here on MyLot as "things I want to do with my life." Well, I did it! Well, my husband and I did. It's funny to look back on it, but it was not fun to go through it. So much has changed in real estate that...

chicospagal I have an HSA through my employer. Whether it's better/worse than a "traditional" plan depends on each individual and/or family's situation. For me this year, it's better than paying a much higher premium for say, a co-pay type of plan. I gave birth in...

chicospagal What kind did you get? I have bought 'em at thrift stores before. I'm glad I went that route because I ended up forcing stuff into them that I shouldn't and they broke. No big loss since it was super cheap. I want to get a new (used) one again because I LOVE...

Gordon Ramsey- Hell's Kitchen or Kitchen Nightmares?

falconjetter @falconjetter (161) • United States 14 Jul 08

This past season of Hell's Kitchen was the first I've watched and it made me decide to watch Kitchen Nightmares. I'm just wondering which one is preferred by other watchers? I'm having trouble deciding which I like better.

chicospagal Currently I prefer Hell's Kitchen. That is mainly due to my pregnancy. Kitchen Nightmares shows some gnarly stuff that really makes me want to puke. I thoroughly enjoyed Gordon Ramsay's autobiography, too!
