To my fellow foodies
I love the Food Network. I just love all the shows and watching people make these food creations and all of the interesting facts, and I like watching the tv personalities, too. One of my favorites (and Kelly’s, too) is Alton Brown on Good Eats and Feasting on Asphalt. We even considered Alton for a boys name when we were deciding on what to name Harrison. Now, I was truly disappointed when MPW took the Food Network off of their basic cable lineup several months ago…I have been without it since then. Not the most horrible of things, but when you’re home during the day I could use a little Food TV instead of soaps (which I don’t watch) and The Weather Channel. Anyway, I was looking at their web-site last night and saw that Alton Brown is doing a Feasting on Asphalt II. They travel over a period of 10 days or so and visit as many off the beaten path and downhome eateries as possible. The second season of the show is River Road, where they start in Louisiana and travel the Mississippi River to its starting point and visit eateries along the way. “Hmmm”, I thought to myself, “no way would they stop in little ol’ Muscatine, would they?” I checked out the web-site, and lo-and-behold, they stop in Muscatine!!! Alton Brown was here in May sometime and visited the Clam Shell diner and they have a button history lesson (which could be the museum or a factory, not really sure where they go for sure). Anyway, Alton Brown was here and I missed him!! But Muscatine is going to be on the show in Episode 5…you can read more about it here. Just go to the bottom of the page and click on the Episode Guide #5. I believe the show will air on Sept. 1 at 8:00. The first one airs this Saturday, August 4th at 8 central time.
I just think that is super exciting! Anyway, just thought I would post about it so if there are any fellow foodies out there that would enjoy seeing the show, you would know about it. Oh, and last night we signed up for the Dish Network.

I love the food network! Youll have to send out a reminder at the end of August! LOL! Or record it…I hope you got a DVR with your dish network – they’re the best! I don’t think I could live without one now.
We actually have a DVR already and we love it!! We haven’t had it set up for a while because we switched around tvs and Kelly is building a shelf for it, so we’ve been missing it! I won’t forget about the show, so hopefully I’ll remember to send out a reminder!
