I watch that channel all the time. It is crazy!! I cook. Now when I say I cook it is of course nothing like what they do. Do you see what they cook in 30 minutes. That is just impossible. I have tried. I have the recipe printed. I have dvr’ed the show. I am trying to cook at the same time. First of all what I consider staples in my pantry is not what they consider staples. I have to go out and buy all the crap, I mean spices. Then I do not about you guys but I got married in 1985. My kitchen tools are pretty much that old. I do not have the tools they use. I have to make due with what I have which slows me down.
My final dish does not look anything like theirs and I am sure it tastes nothing like theirs.
I have decided I will just watch. I will use the box mixes and everyone will be happy.

Have a happy turkey day. I will enjoy watching the husband cook
