I don't leave till Thursday night, so there may or may not be a Roundup next week. My friend Kate has kindly agreed to post things I have pre-written, so there will be new posts every day.
Here's what the blogosphere is saying about Rachael Ray this week. If you write a post about Rachael or see one that would be perfect for the Roundup, please e-mail me so I can include it! Happy Friday and Happy St. Patrick's Day.
- Talk Show Ratings Update: Broadcasting & Cable says that Rachael Ray's talk show ratings are "rising like a souffle." The show "served up the highest February sweeps ratings of any rookie talker since Dr. Phil started doling out onscreen advice in 2003." Specifically, "Ray's ratings were up 14% from the November sweep to a 2.4." The show "is the top-rated syndicated rookie by a wide margin."
- Speaking of Rachael's talk show, she was nominated for seven Daytime Emmys and appeared on CNN's Robin & Company to talk about this achievement. Inside Cable News posted a transcript of her appearance.
- Jessica at Jessica in Jerusalem participated in a Rachael Ray Shabbat, where each person who came to dinner brought a different Rachael Ray recipe. Sounds like it was a success.
- Slashfood featured Rachael Ray's Veggie Meals as its cookbook of the day. It also discussed Rachael's new deal with Dunkin' Donuts and got a crazy amount of comments on it (150 when I went by!).
- Stir Crazy offers a simple Rachael Ray recipe for mussels for a weekday dinner.
- Kalyn wrote a post this week over at BlogHer about Mimi's Bisquick Day, a protest against food snobbery and a defense of Rachael Ray all in one. I'm going to need to participate next time. I already know what I would make: Rachael's Rosemary and Ham Scones with some cheddar thrown in too.
- Shelterrific tried out Rachael's recipe for Irish Rice Pudding from Every Day with Rachael Ray. She wasn't wowed.
- Karen Gutierrez at CincyMoms tried Tomato, Mozzarella and Basil skewers, which were based on a Rachael Ray recipe. They were a hit.
- Claire at Culinary Colorado included Rachael's recipe for her Mom's 15-Minute Tomato and Bean Soup in a weeknight menu for company. You can find the recipe in 2, 4, 6, 8: Great Meals for Couples or Crowds.
- Iris of Out Loud is a fan of the Gabbybaby T-shirts featured on Rachael Ray's talk show recently. They are pretty darn cute.
- Speaking of babies....this didn't happen this week in the Blogosphere, but I found it on You Tube this week, which is close enough. I hope when I have a baby someday, she loves Rachael Ray as much as this little cutie:
Someone should forward that to RR's show! What a CUTE baby!
