Watching Rachael Ray

Starting in the kitchen again today, where we get three more versions of deviled eggs - Far-East Deviled Eggs, Go Green (olive) Deviled Eggs, and Deviled Ham & Eggs.

She washes up at the sink and complains that it’s not working and what do you have to do to get a plumber in here? Enter James Denton, sexy plumber extraordinaire from Desperate Housewives, complete with Tool Belt. Niiiiiiice. He is handy around the house, and recently he completed a kitchen remodel during the writer’s strike “because I’m cheap.”

Rachael asks if its fun or challenging to work with a whole bunch of women? He says it’s fantastic and the reason he has a job because it has such a great women’s voice - heightened, but relatable. He’s happy to let them deal with the pressure and paparazzi, and he just keeps his head down and tries not to get killed off on the show which is what all the guys do. He declares all the women as hot, hot, hot. Eva just opened up a restaurant, Baso. “You’re welcome, Eva” he says after the plug.

It ends with a picture of him and his wife and he goes HOT! She’s a personal trainer and helps keep him in shape. James says he’s in a band as well, and talks a bit about it - they’re called Band From TV.

James talks about being proud of being part of the comeback of ABC and bringing back the drama. His big spluge since the success of the show is that he bought a baseball team, the Orange County Flyers- they’re not getting rich, but it’s a lot of fun. He goes and works out with him just because he can.

He’s part of a campaign for Out and About with Allergies - it gives you a list of places where you can enjoy the outdoors even with allergies. The product is Veramyst - it’s a godsend for him, though it’s not for everyone. The day everything was blooming on Wisteria Lane (The name alone is a nightmare for allergy sufferers, he jokes) and nothing is sexier then allergies, allergies are SO HOT - everyone was very excited to say goodbye to his runny nose.

Then there was the story about killing the snake that he killed because it was going to hurt someone - but! He then took it home and ate it, just like his daddy taught him. He does say it doesn’t taste like chicken, and Rachael says it tastes a little bit like alligator - she points out the audience is so quite, they’re creeping them out, and James counters with he thinks he has a little bit of a crush on her now. That’s a-ok with Rachael!

Next up, a segment on trusting your intuition. Annette Oriscello has problems making decisions, and often regrets the ones she does make, from the wrong wedding dress, choosing a home or even something like a paint color. With a closet full of clothes she felt pressured to buy that she never wears, and a home that she doesn’t really love, she asks for help to learn to trust her instincts.

Char Margolis, the author of Discover Your Inner Wisdom, has some tips to help Annette:

Learn the four Cs - courage and confidence, commit and conquer.

Next up it’s time to meet Deborah Freeman, a practicing ob/gyn for 27 years who didn’t realize she was obsess until she visited her own doctor for a checkup. She simply hadn’t thought about it and was embarrassed because her patients wouldn’t listen to her if she didn’t follow her own advice. She turned her life around through diet and exercise over the past 5 years and has gone from a size 18 to a size 4 and lost 75 pounds. She entered a body building contest as well, and won at the age of 54. Learn more at the Community of Incredible People.
