Pati's Mexican Table

[Julie Bove]

I love this show and her food always looks great. But her voice! Drives me
right up the wall. It's so high pitched and sounds almost robotic. I like
it when there are guests on there because at least I get to listen to them
some of the time. Anyone else have issues with her voice?

[sf]

Haven't heard of it. What channel, what day - what time? PBS?

Can't stand her voice. I always switch channels when she is on. Plus I
never liked south of the border food.

It's on Create. I watch it in the evenings or maybe late nights? Not sure.
I only seem to catch it sporadically.

I love South of the border food. Just not her voice.

[jmcquown]

Have you ever *had* south of the border food? I'd really like to see a
menu from one of these Mexican restaurants you like so much.

Jill

[pltrgyst]

Yes -- it drives us crazy as well. We just can't watch the show because
of that.

We're seeing her live on March 19th as guest chef at the National Press
Club restaurant, which should be interesting.

(For someone else: in the US, Cooking Channel, on cable, at various times.)

Okay. Here is the one where we normally eat at.

http://ixtapalynnwood.net/

However, we rarely order from the menu. They usually make food that is
special for us.

This is where we used to eat frequently. They're still good. We just are
rarely in this area and in need of a meal.

http://yucatanrestaurantandbar.com/

We have eaten here occasionally.

http://plazagarcia.com/

We ate here on Christmas Eve.

http://www.allmenus.com/wa/edmonds/58981-el-puerto/menu/

This place probably has the best food but it's in an old Taco Bell so the
eating area is very small. They do have an excellent condiment bar.

http://www.taqueriaelantojo.com/

This place has good food too but only a very few tables.

Thanks, her voice didn't bother me. I don't mind the high pitch. I
think the problem is that she's speaking through a heavy accent and
over enunciating words.

That's two strikes. I like South of the Boarder best. Which
nonAmerican food do you like?

Thanks, I'll look - but I pretty much only watch what I stumble upon
at the time. Very little is appt TV for me anymore.

The theme music bothers me more than her voice in that clip. I run into
that in Mexican restaurants. Mexican "Muzak". I'd sure hate to get
stuck in an elevator in Mexico. ;)

You hit the nail on the head. The tone of her voice is a little
annoying, but it is her accent and over enunciating her words that takes
it over the top. Her sister was on the show and I do not recall her
voice being that annoying.

NonAmerican food? Asian, German.

There are a few things like fajitas that I enjoy. We have a large
illegal to legal population here so there are many "authentic" non-chain
restaurants in my area.

I don't like tomatoe based dishes whether its chopped tomatoes or salsa,
and don't like most bean dishes.

I do love love love (oh the horrors its not REAL mexican food) the baja
sauce from Taco Bell and like to make homemade tostadas (I buy a package
of shells from Aldi's) with beef and top with the baja sauce-Taco Bell
lets you buy extra-or the guy who does those cookbooks for restaurant
foods has a dead ringer recipe for the baja sauce.

Are you saying that you don't care for the voice and accent and it

She sounds like a person that has a voice trained for broadcasting. It seems about right for the format.

Here's a gal that's using a fake voice. I've used that kind of voice for giving speeches. I'm trying to get away from that and use a more natural one. Being forced to use a lowered voice in everyday life as part of a public persona is one tough gig. My guess is that a lot of women will feel that they have to talk this way to be seen as being more credible.

she's ok with me. i don't watch much tv anyways, so it isn't

she is very cute to me. :)

if the voice annoyed me i'd turn off the sound and still watch.

her methods of cooking seem just fine, a bit more foofoo
than i'd do, but that's just because i'm not huge on presentation
i just care that it tastes good and has about the right textures
or colors.

some of the tv chefs are just too whacked for me to bother.
like i'm going to go out and buy a lot of spices i don't already
have and $50 in meat for little medalions of whatever covered
in lawnmower sauce. nope. that's not for me...

I'm not sure if too small but something is out of proportion. Her mouth
has a big wide smile that is wider than average and she has a large high

I actually got to see a show right away. It was on last

was pleasant enough. Didn't seem to be faked, just a bit

I don't get that. You're passing on the opportunity to discover
delicious new foods just because you don't already have some spices?

For example, fenugreek leaves. Once I tried them, I knew what had
been missing in my curries all those years.

Plus, I rarely see anybody on TV using ingredients that I don't already
have, or have used (if they're perishable).

i don't cook that often for just myself so almost
all new spices i've bought in the last 20yrs i still
have (and they may not be all that good any more).
it just makes no sense for me to buy them or to try
new things until i'm back on my own again.

i've had nutmeg on the shopping list for about
four months now and yet we never get it. i want
some decent rice pudding sometime this winter so
we'll get it eventually...

i store everything in glass jars so i hope the spices
are still good when i need them again, but if i'm going
to be doing something new i'll probably just use the
health food store and small portion cups for the little
bit i would need.

the small portion cups are the way to go and the price is minimal.
If you've had spices in jars for years, toss them out. The true
flavor is gone and you probably have hatched insects and the dead
bodies are in there
