Oh I am addicted to Food Network too!
I LOVE Paula! I want her to adopt me so bad I can't stand it!
Giada is another one I love.
Alton Brown just fascinates me with all his scientific stuff.
I am on the line with Rachel Ray. For some reason I feel like I HAVE to watch her show (the 30 minute meals one - I can't stand the other ones). However I agree about the giggling and the abbreviations. When I cook I use a garbage bowl now (it IS a good idea), but I do call it a garbage bowl and not a G.B. I cook with Olive Oil and Not E.V.O.O.
I used to love Emeril but he has been grating on my nerves for some reason lately.
I think its funny how Sandra Dee makes a "cocktail" with EVERYTHING. I think that accounts for some of her "tablescapes".
