[MrMelodifestivalen]

If you download ant.com (for free) you can download anything from youtube (and many other sites). It's really easy to use and fast.

[Swifty490]

does anyone know where I can download/purchase (as a last resort) these episodes?

[beadella1958]

I really hate to say it because Ina is one of my favorite FN chefs, but the start of that gazpacho looked like something that starts with V and ends with ommit....so glad there was a ton of veg in on top of it!

[TwistedMindMH]

im hungry T_T

[coltsc123]

i wonder when shes gonna realize gazpachos spanish, not greek

[sircharles2012]

Hell that's a lot of dough!

[sporter193]

butter overkill...  O_O

[aprilfiege]

Ok, that is a really weird ass meal to make a pregnant woman!

[mch101389]

All that salt and pepper...

[grupwrk]

Ina, I love your show but pregnant women are not supposed to eat feta cheese. Eating any unpasteurized cheese can be very dangerous for an unborn baby.

[aprilfiege]

@grupwrk Exactly! LOL

[Hannahmiley58]

holy fuck six sticks of butter

[girolle01]

@Hannahmiley58 Well, yeah. It's almost 100 cookies...

[veehaychjay]

I love those mixer thingies...we don't have them so much in England. She is so adorable, you can tell she'd make a great Mummy :o)

[houchi69]

@veehaychjay are you aware that she turned down a meeting with a kid from Make A Wish foundation?

[amelia8778]

@houchi69 and that affects her food how?

[houchi69]

@amelia8778 im just saying. i like her food, but dont make her into something that she is not.

[amelia8778]

@houchi69 i guess i'm still confused. what does it matter? she could go visit every dying kid on the planet and still be a horrible person: politicians do it all the time. I've known two children that went through the Make A Wish program: Trust me, they ask the kid for several options, that way if one doesn't work out, they have other wishes that can come true. I guess all I'm saying is 1. don't know the whole story 2. even if she did agree, doesn't say squat about her as a person 3. see #1

[houchi69]

@amelia8778 i dont mind someone said she is a good cook and her foods are great, and they are. just dont give her more credits than she deserves. and yes, it doesnt say much, but it says something about her.

i dont believe you dont care when you found out someone you really like did something bad or not pleasant.

she turned down a dying kid's wish, said enough about her.

[amelia8778]

@houchi69 doesn't say squat about her until you explain WHY she turned the kid down. Who released the information? What was their motive for doing so? Yes. If a family member or a good friend did something bad or not pleasant, I would care. However, I am not acquainted with her.. I haven't been to her house.....It really doesn't matter either way. Could you send the link to the article explaining her reasoning? Then I'll make a judgement call.

[houchi69]

@amelia8778 lol...why would i know why? I'm not Ina Garten. go ask her.

the thing is, she is not gonna tell you even if you did, because thats not how humanity works.  when something look bad on your reputation, they either avoid it, or just make up excuses, which is clearly what she chose to do.

they contacted her several times, she turned it down until like the 5th or 6th time and the parents went to the press, then she said yes. like i said, don't give her more credit than she deserves

[amelia8778]

@houchi69 according to the make a wish foundation web site, Ina has granted wishes in the past and wasn't able to this time. Also, if you do some more research here, you will find that they have hundreds of celebrities turn them down every year. So be prepared to find out who those celebrities are and making judgment calls on all of them. :)

@amelia8778 wish.org/news/news_releases/in­a_garten_statement

[houchi69]

@amelia8778 try to read the report on abcnews. she turned down the request twice(not 5 or 6, my apologies). no need to keep looking for excuses for her, which you said so yourself that you are not even close with her, so im still not sure what the point of this whole conversation was. anyway. bottom line: dont give people more credits than they deserve.

[amelia8778]

@houchi69 meh.

[amelia8778]

@houchi69 i apologize: i didn't reply to you with the report from The Make A Wish People: wish.org/news_releases/ina_gar­ten_statement I guess there isn't much point. I just wonder how you feel knowing that the Make A Wish foundation has said she has fulfilled the wish of other children for them in the past? They are obviously appalled that she has been treated so when hundreds of other celebrities turn them down every year.

[amelia8778]

ABC news, by the way, is still a second-hand report. Make A Wish Foundation's Statement is from the horse's mouth. I guess the reason I don't really care about a celebrity turning down one child's request (and it's tragic, but he gets to go swim with the dolphins, that's awesome) when trying to get people in this country to help the hundreds of children dying EVERY DAY from starvation (who have no one granting their wishes - most die in the dirt, is like pulling teeth). Where's our excuse there?

love it love you ina
