Trust me, they'll never get out of the kitchen if you put the DVD player in there, next to an entire shelf of this Lucsious Lady's DVDs:

Nigella and her Cherries...(which apparently almost got her expelled from school!)

If that's what butter and cream does for you, lead me to the fridge!

Not only does she look like the gorgeous Ma Larkin, oozing 50s warmth and sensuality, but she has the body of Marilyn Monroe and a Twinkle in her Eye that tells you she's loving every single minute of Being OhSoNaughtily Sexy.

Now, Nigella has REAL GIRL power! No pole dancing needed for her! She's a REAL woman, beautiful dressed, revealing more by covering up than baring everything to the world, whilst causing men to go cross-eyed every time she licks the cake mixture from her fingers..

AND...she raids her fridge at night! MY kinda gal! LOL

She can reduce men down to the best of their most basic ingredients, faster than she can make a cheese sauce, simply by fluttering her eyelashes at the cameraman, who must be saying his Times Table backwards, like Batman, in order to retain his focus! :0)

Anyway, if you're having to do all the cooking yourself, try a little Nigella, or...dress up like her, talk like her, move like her...have fun like her...

It may do wonders for the Fondue! :0)

I gave up watching her telly progs a while back because I find her 'conversation' rather too studied - too much like reading a piece of food journalism in some glossy Sunday supplement for me. All most food programmes are about is vicarious gratification. I like River Cottage best because it gets lots of extra points for 'lifestyle' escapism.

Of course Richard, it's pure escapist fantasy for those of us who faced with the realities of 'the good life' would flounder hopelessly with it. We've all got to get our vicarious kicks somewhere. River Cottage is a bit like self-sufficiency porn.

Nigella is very sexually attractive and she knows it. And though there's nothing wrong in exploiting that for the camera, it is all a tad too self-consciously played and theatrical for me. Of course I'm not a bloke so what do I know, but as far as women currently on telly who I think are quite sexy go, I like Claudia Winkleman and Dawn Porter - mainly for their naughty personalities I think.

Ah, yes!!! The formidable Nigella Lawson and her lovely accent and sparkling eyes. I seem to recall that Adrian Mole was quite taken with her. (He's a character in some hysterically funny books written by Sue Townsend.) It's a real thrill for me, a Canadian, to finally see Ms Lawson in the flesh and doing her cooking show!

Have you ever read 'The Queen & I' by Sue Townsend, LH, it'll have you in even more stitches than Adrian Mole...It's so funny. I used to have the audio version of it, read by the wonderful Miriam Margoyles. If you can track that down it's well worth listening to as Miriam makes it *even* funnier. Sue's blind now, I seem to recall...

I chuckle over the words Nigella uses, sooooo loaded with sexuality, she just about manages to keep her face straight,although her eyes twinkle just that little bit too much.

She's married to Charles Saatchi...and he's the chap who bought that frozen bust, made of the artist's blood, then stored it in his freezer at home...Sadly, for him, one of the workmen he had round doing some work, turned the freezer off when he had to move it...
Uh Oh!   ;0)   Honestly, what a horrible thing to have in your freezer! Art, my arse! ;0)

Before him, I think she her previous husband had throat cancer, and she nursed him through some traumatic times, right to the end...so it's good to see her looking happy again.

"...All those cream sauces and pies. Mostly on her hips."

REAL women HAVE *hips*, Richard.... ;0)

Contrary to how so many fashion designers want to depict us, most of are not boy-shaped, heroin-addicted thin, or a Size Zero.

We come in all different shapes and sizes, and the vast majority of women are curvey, going in and out..and er..sometimes, out a little further in all the right places... ;0)

We may end up thinnner when we're older, but for gawd's sake, let us revel in our hips and all our other curves whilst we still can.

"Cream tea, Darling?"

"Oooh! YES, please!"

:0)


And yes, before anyone gets upset, slender lassies are also lovely... :0)

Lizzie, women of all shapes keep finding partners. So all this negative image supposedly sending out a bad immage of your sex to the world, doesn't seem to have stopped marriage, or love.
I bet there's as many lonely size zeroes, as there are Nigella sized, or larger.
It's all PC shite.

It's what you are inside that counts really and anyway one man's meat is another man's poison. As far as I am concerned I've always rather fancied Clark Kent than Superman.

On the otherhand my younger son thinks Anne Widdicombe is wonderful so there is no accounting for taste.

Women mostly tend to cook for the family and their likes and dislikes rather than be a gourmet cook, men seem to make better chefs because they probably go into the science of it more. I used to like the Galloping Gourmet Graham Kerr he was the first one to replace all the fattening things in a dish with a healthy alternative, whether it tasted the same we just had his word for that.

The deal in our house is that Jools cooks during the week (I don't get home until after 7) and I cook at the weekends - all good family favourites.
