Food for thought

I'm no foodie, but every now and again I watch Food Network when I'm bored. I was watching the other day and I realized something—I don’t really watch for the food. There are some pretty attractive women on the Food Network. I mean, Giada's head is too big for her body, and Racheal Ray’s voice could pierce the hardest of steel, but both are fairly attractive women. I think there could certainly be more sexual innuendo on the shows. Then I started thinking—in today's economic climate it's important to be versatile. You need to be able to switch hats at the drop of a dime. What if the Food Network and the Spice channel had a spinoff channel? It'd probably be called Spicy Food or something like that. The network would feature an Australian-themed show called Cooking Down Under or Recipes from the Bush. The shows would be decidedly more colorful, featuring dialogue like, "See how great these potatoes look," as they bend over a pan of french fries. Or maybe, "Mmm, check out these melons," while cutting cantaloup. This will probably never happen, but it's just something to think about.
