Many people may not know this, but Martha boasts a Swedish background.  I did some reading on the Wikipedia, and found out that she’s really Polish, so I’m a little confused.  That doesn’t ruin the fact that the day she made those classic Swedish Christmas pancakes, I nearly dropped my organic lingonberry preserves.

A show that triggers intellectual stimulation, or simply reminds me to thank my lucky stars that I am not an insecure, trashy deranged woman who is "looking for love" with former '80's hair metal rock stars. 

One day, I was channel surfing when a fifty-something, attractive guy with a New York accent, bang-a-rang attitude, and healthy tan caught my eye.  His name is Anthony Bourdain. His show,  No Reservations, appears on The Travel Channel, and quite frankly this dude is the cat's pajamas.
