Q Talk

Is anyone else so sick of seeing Rastelli in almost EVERY food/kitchen show plus their 1 hour specials?? I used to watch ITKWD religiously, not anymore. I do watch Mary though because I like her humor and the way she presents. HSN is getting better and better with the show content. I like the way they have more of the presentation of the products instead of constanly updating color, quantity, blah blah blah, and when they do update they do it fast. It's more personal at HSN maybe because it is not a massive building, idk, I like the food and kitchen shows over there more, except for ITKWM. I know a lot of you do not agree with me, but that is makes the world go round. Thanks for letting me vent. 

BTW, I opted to binge the Law and Order/Columbo marathon today instead of watching the same old same old . . .

I agree about the Rastelli point, and I would add Temp-Tations to that list.  Where I part ways with you is on your preference for ITKWM.  She may be a nice person, and I wish her well and hope all her fans enjoy her for years....I am just not one of those fans.

It isn't that she doesn't know her stuff, or that she doesn't give enough info on her items, I just cannot abide to listen to her voice  She and Julia C. are like nails on a chalkboard to my ears.  That's just me and my opinion, and I would like to pre-emptively point out to those who are typing "well, you don't have to watch her!"  that I do not watch her and do not have a problem with anyone who enjoys her!  I am just throwing my own opinion out there as well as recognizing that others will differ.  You know what they say about opinions!!!!!!!

Rastelli is on a LOT, as is Kim Gravel in fashion. What bugs me more are the 30-minute TSV presentations (always 2 or 3) during the ITKWD shows, even with it is bookended with hour-long shows. That's when my dog gets his walks. For ome reaso, I still watch David on those shows. I don't really watch any other shows. Maybe just a check once in a while.

@libdem   I don't watch any "kitchen/cooking" shows but agree with you about HSN.  Rarely do they have more than one host presenting and I love their "5 in 5."  Not to mention the better sales and notification when an item in my "favorites" list has been reduced.

@libdem  I dread the two R's: Rastelli's and Roberta's. I still watch David and Mary, but I go do something else when Rastelli's comes on. I also like the garden shows, but can no longer watch the Roberta's crew.

Not nearly as repetitious as Josie Maren or Barefoot Dreams but bad enough. One thing about QVC , when they find a successful product, they beat it until they eventually kill it.

Nope, i dont get bothered by stuff like this at all. I dont sit and just watch tv, im usually multitasking on my tablet while im watching. Just because ive seen a vendor on a lot doesnt mean others have and someonne may be enjoying or interested.

It's grilling season and will be all summer long.  I suspect QVC  sells more grilling type meats during this period, so they have more Rastelli shows.

Businesses need to sell or they will go under.  Be thankful it's just meat.  Starting in July through December, Christmas junk will assault your eyes daily.

I don't watch cooking shows.  I cook everyday and have every gadget I might need and know I will never use.  I am not interested in buying any more.  I am sure there are many people in the same boat.

At least the meat can be consumed and not take up residence in your drawers for the next 20 years.  Consider it a blessing.

I've gotten pretty jaded about the food offered with almost all I've tried being disappointing.  But this last holiday season required that I get items that could be 

sent by mail.  So... I bravely ordered the Banana Bread from Bread & Bread and WOW!!!

It was SO GOOD that I fought the temptation to order another set!  Even DH,. who was raised on his Gramma's Banana bread had to comment how great these were!  I WILL order again.  The next was the Salmon @ 10 6oz pieces for a special price of $99.  Fresh, caught and packaged where they caught it off Scotland....WOW and WOW again.  I've only got about half left and am budgeting for more!  Seriously!  It is honestly as good as they say.  If Rastelli's Salmon is this good then I'm wondering how good their beef is.... as I'm on to the next....

I can't tell you how many times I've felt "burned" and have complained about what I've received as food items.  So I feel I finally have some hope in this regard.  What I'm saying is that I for one encourage the better brands come on often... I'm encouraged and hope to find more....
