This Is Not Fast Food

So she's a snooty libra - what else is new, most of them are. Learn to love it. I thought this video was sweet.

fishsticks loves salmonella its good for your figure... puking makes you nice and skinny and you can eat more goop!

xoxox

The war isn't working.

OMG Even worse than just leaving the salad on the same cutting board that she cut the chicken on. She licks her fingers immediately after pelting the poor bird with bits of garlic. It's quick but you can hear the smack and then it cuts back up to her as she's pulling her finger away from her mouth.

LEAVE GWYNNIE ALONE!!!!!

Seriously, guys. What's with the hating? She cares about what she feeds her children, what's so wrong with that? She is showing busy moms how easy and cheap it can be to feed your family a balanced meal.

And, yes, I'm sure she DID wash her hands and cutlery after handling the chicken; it's called EDITING, people. I guess she assumed that the people watching would not be stupid enough to think she didn't wash. I guess she assumed wrong?

Waiting for Britney's next meltdown...

I am jealous of her kitchen. I don't understand why she found it necessary to peel the fingerling potatoes if she boiled them first...they still would have cooked fast. Guess it was something she learned in England....

'Never mess with a chick with lip liner, no lipstick'

I feel conflicted about that video. I find her completely insufferable. Her personality is just really irritating to me, like I'm supposed to be impressed by the fact that she's a celebrity. I'm totally not. I really don't care about her inspiration either. Like not at all. You're cooking, not counseling me in life. Just cook.

On the other hand, her meal isn't completely terrible. Don't get it twisted: it's not good either. That chicken is browned, but not crispy. Probably because she did it with the foil on (presentation matters people). It doesn't look good. It looks flaccid. I'd also venture a guess that those potatoes are pretty bland and that she didn't make nearly enough vinaigrette for her salad. I'm also at a loss for why she blanched some of the vegetables and not others. Seems kind of stupid to me. Isn't she macrobiotic anyway?

In the end, it's interesting that she doesn't allow for comments on her post. She could probably learn how to cook better if she did.

Neither Trashy nor Classy.

Dude, gross. She never washed her hands after working with that raw ass chicken and then proceeded to make a salad.

I love Gwen and she was awesome in this, she came across very likable.

Is it crappy of me that I feel so glad that I actually own better cookware than this pretentious harpy? It's a nit-picky thing to notice, and one that I normally wouldn't brag about, but in this case--seeing as how I can't stand this uppity bitch and her high and mighty oh holier than thou attitude--it gives me such pleasure to know that she thinks she's educating us all (with one of the easiest and most simple things one can make I might add), and she isn't even using tri-ply cookware. Gwynnie, you suck.

yeah the site isnt as bad as everyones claimed it to be. I think gywneths effort on it is pretty impressive actually.

Me too Tigerlily... You should know me by now, love. no malice or insult taken, silly!
*pass that slim jim, keep the purple drank*

Ok, don't shoot me, but I laughed when she said she lost a "tater".
She's a bit goofy.
She def. comes off better in this than she does in GOOP. I can't handle all the name dropping.
And you are right, MK, this is NOT fast food.

Oh and thank god I don't eat meat. I don't think I could handle all the sterializing and whatnot. Sounds like a gigantic pain in the ass!

Wow, she didn't annoy me at all in that clip. She really should stick to video. Although, the topic was pretty innocuous, so maybe stick to cooking videos.

You know what I love with my salad? Salmonella. She cut her vegetables on the same cutting board that she just cut raw chicken on.

I have to say that there was nothing wrong with her or her style of cooking.
As far as the "de-boning" was concerned, I only saw the thigh bones being removed. It appeared the breast and leg bones were left intact and could have easily been removed. That would have definitely made it "much faster fast food."
How can you fault someone that uses Kosher salt? Oye.
Off to the butcher to buy a chicken for dinner!

Alright, this didn't completely offend me (surprisingly). The salad looks delicious as does everything else. Not gonna nitpick on this one.

____________________________________________

Pull My Finger

ya thats not cooking. its making an easy meal, cooking is something else. and she seems to have the salad on the same board, that she put the chikin on before. As a cook with kids you learn NEVER to do this because of the salmonellas.
peeling the potatos you can see she does that not so often. but the recipe itself is very delicious.

Oh and I wish you would all stop saying that Gwyneth etc all have British accents? Seriously wtf? She sounds as American as can be to me. You should all put a tape on of someone speaking with an English accent. Poopie, Madonna (although she started speaking more pronounced) etc DO NOT SOUND ENGLISH AT ALL.

Surely Americans have a semi Posh accent? Well it has got to be that then but not an English accent.

Come on that wasn't bad at all. What on earth can you find offensive about that? I think some people just want to hate her and no matter what she does they will find ways to hate her. Credit to MK who at leats acknowledges when she isn't being snooty. She is cooking a chicken with potatoes, seriously I actually learned something from her with the deboning and I am friggin' English we are masters of the roast dinners (hence she credits us with the shakey potato thing, and it does work promise!).

Nah.. Got to be honest here. This is not offensive. I always creditted Dlisted with being able to be fair at times but some people will always find things to hate.

I must be an utter peasant in need of Goopery because I've never heard of champagne vinegar... It looked nice but then it's hard to fuck up roast chicken and potatoes.

Didn't she drop out of college after a term? Not a mention of that.

And I've tried to find a cached Youtube page so I can see some of the comments. The link is there, but it's not cached. Does Goop have Google in her pocket?

Roast chicken takes hours to prepare.
How would she know anyway...?

From food to fashion to music, Gwynnie is a virtual know-it-all. Here's a sample of her newsletter:

I didn't know SamRo was 'America's best loved, and most well known female DJs'.

Actually, I just watched that (didn't bother to earlier), and it really wasn't bad. She should definitely stick to the videos, and maybe just do video transcripts instead of actually writing out pieces for everything. I think people would like her "product" a lot better that way. Especially toward the end, she came off very breezy. The only real issue, aside from potential chicken & potato blandness, would be that she used too many adjectives like "gorgeous," "lovely," "fantastic," etc. And she seemingly threw every vegetable she could find into that salad.

Nice slimy pink naked bird there! Wonder if anybody would eat it if the feet were still on (probably, but it would look funny).
I thought Gwyneth was all macrobiotic and shit, well I guess she's not above eating meat. That means if my vegetarian ass ever ran in to her I would have a reason to act smug and superior! Glorious!

OH yeah, and who the hell chops the hell out of their salad like that? Presentation, much? YOu know, there was a blind item once about how some actress's staff was making fun of her bc she pretended to know how to cook, but she really couldn't. Blind item solved. She just needs to stop. Just stooooooooop, please, goopy. She keeps trying to seem approachable and cool, and the next martha stewart or whatever. martha can cook! also, i'm beginning to wonder if she's actually a genius who WANTS us to hate her so that she stays relevant.

WHAT THE HELL IS EVERYONE TALKING ABOUT?!? Were we watching the same video? MK, I love him, but this is the first time I've really disagreed with him. That was unbearable. I thought my eyes, ears, and soul were going to melt into a pile of goop. What the hell? First of all, my dad was a chef, my mom went to culinary school, my grandparents all cooked, and coming from someone who grew up in a kitchen and watched people cook, I HAVE NO IDEA HOW FISHSTICKS CAN CALL THAT COOKING?! Oh yeah? Really? You've been cooking since 19? It's your hobby, you pretentious full of shit bitch?! Anyone who knows anything in the kitchen would know you don't cut stuff like the way she cuts stuff unless you want to lose a finger. Second: Oleeeeveoooiiil. Third: The way she sprinkled garlic all over. Ummm...what the hell are you doing? Is it confetti? Fourth: Her freaking terminology, deboning, delish, peas as "heaven" and par-boiled. OH MY GOD! Fifth: Quick? Anyone who's ever spent time in a kitchen knows how much prep work would go into every ingredient she whipped out. Kiss my ass, Fishy. I actually stick up for her in print bc at least in print, I can give her the benefit of the doubt bc of misinterpretation. But there is no hiding her fake bullshit in VIDEO. She tossed her towel AND flipped her vegetable peeler, people. What is wrong with that picture?!

I really want to like Fishy (ok stone me!) as long as she keeps her mouth shut about comparing the US to other countries. If she can manage that I think I will be fine with her. Too bad she had to disable the comments on her YT account. I understand though, I wouldn't give people a free forum to go off on me if I were in control of it.

"Throw a lucky man in the sea, and he will come up with a fish in his mouth." - Arab Proverb

I have to admit that I think this is really smart. She's not nearly as loathsome on video as she is in print. All that pretension that comes through in print just reveals itself to be enthusiasm. I kind of liked her again. Also, this is exactly the kind of meal I liked to make too, back when I used to eat meat. Then again, when I ate meat, I WASHED MY EFFING HANDS between the raw poultry and the salad prep. I'm going to hope that there was a cut in there where she stopped to wash...

Other than that, I say GOOD MOVE, Gwynnie. Yep, I'm back to calling her Gwynnie because she's back to being humanoid. Finally.

That is all.

That was a mangy little chicken she was hacking away at.

It's most likely a free-range chicken, raised without growth hormones and antibiotics. They're quite a bit smaller than the ones people are used to seeing in grocery stores.

When is someone (I'm looking at you, Chris Martin) gonna shove this pretentious bitch into the fucking oven?!?

Submitted by yucko: "I like to cook, but even when I'm trying to make something 'quick' and simultaneously good, it always takes too long."

I know how you feel, but if you cook do it all the time, it feels like less of a production. It's all perception. Honestly. It used to be a big deal for me to make a roast beef with mashed potatoes and homemade gravy. It would take all damn afternoon. Now it's an ordinary weeknight dinner for us.

Just tonight I threw together a birthday cake on very short notice, every morsel from scratch, even the boiled frosting. It's really a matter of perception and practice and knowing exactly where every tool and bowl and ingredient is. It takes me forever to cook in my MIL's kitchen because I'm used to blindly reaching for a whisk or grater and not searching for it.

According to my kids' pediatrician, potatoes are one of the veggies you should buy organic (if you want to eat the peel, which I do). Because, as NitWitty's dad will tell you, the peel is the best, most nutritious part of the potato. And potato skins really concentrate the pesticides and can't be washed off. Or some such. If you're not eating the skin, don't bother with the organic.

Any fruit or veggie I buy gets washed with hot water and soap and baking soda. And if it has a peel with wax on it (apples, lemons, cucumbers), I scrub it with baking soda to get the wax off. It's a lot of work, but I care what we eat and can't really afford organic everything.

Except potatoes and frozen broccoli. Which probably has more vitamins because they're frozen immediately instead of languishing on a truck and then the supermarket, losing precious vitamins.

And this concludes today's lesson on produce.

And I don't like using my oven in the summer so a rotisserie chicken (picked up at my supermarket) is more cost effective than this. AND I use the bones for chicken stock!================================================
the end...

Submitted by justaguest on Thu, 07/23/2009 - 9:01pm.
If you take all the bones out of the chicken, wouldn't that be baking a chicken instead of roasting? And why would you peel fingerling potatoes?

==============================================
Exacty! Them lil taters don't need peeling and if you were going to peel potatoes pick the biggest ones...so much easier than those tiny ones. And I like the way she flips the peeler in the air...damn she's just so cool! And I want to hear from out friends from across the pond...do you shake up your potatoes before you roast them like that? Or is she just full of shit?

================================================
the end...

Wash your hands, idiot. I guess she doesn't care about cross-contamination. Every one that eats that salad is in for some Salmonella seasoning, lol. She doesn't really cook, does she. She just wants everyone to think she does. She thinks she knows everything.

I'm with Sweetie. I do not want to deal with a raw chicken carcass, ever.

Okay - just read on Wiki that he's going to marry the mother of his SEVENTH child. Damn. That is seven too many, most likely.

True story: I once went to a U2 concert just so I could see Public Enemy open. I can't stand Bono. He is on my list of "most irritating celebs ever", I guess because the situation in Africa is so much more complicated than he implies. Anyway, I just don't like him, and also never got into U2. Sacrilege, I know. Oh well.
