The Food Network called this morning to tell me that my air date is AUGUST 9TH! at 10:30am..
GGGEEEE!
So glad they called when they did - I have an article coming out in the Clarion Ledger tomorrow and Sherry (the very sweet reporter) was able to change the air date in the article before it went to print! YEY!
I’ll post a link for the article tomorrow!
And I’m gonna watch both air dates (July 19th at 10:30 and August 9th at 10:30) just to be sure. This has been pretty confusing, so who knows when I’ll be on! HA!
Thanks for all the patience..

I saw last night that my cable provider AT&T Uverse has me listed as appearing July 19th when I did a search for my DVR to record it. The Food Network web site has me as August 9th, so I don’t know what to say about that. I have calls into the production company Embassy Row and also emailed everyone that I was contacted by but no return.
The director of Grill It, Lauren Thompson, originally told me July 19th so I think that is correct, but I will watch both. The show airs ONCE on Sunday morning and then repeats ONE more time on the following Monday.
So sorry about the confusion.. I hope they will return my calls, but I started this Monday and so far they haven’t, so I can only tell you what I know. I intend to watch both. And I do think the final correct date is Sunday, July 19th. To repeat on Monday the 20th.
Love,
Kitty

Neil and I went to see the film, “Food Inc.” yesterday and I have to say my head is still spinning from the information in that film. I have been preaching for two years about eating healthy and the one thing I didn’t count on is that the tomato I told you to buy to make my tomato and onion salad may have NO nutritional value. You might as well be eating cardboard.
I knew food had been altered to produce more of it but I didn’t know the cost of that - and by that I mean the nutritional cost - not monetary. Although if what you eat is worthless the medical costs down the line will be enormous.
I’m from Mississippi where there are markets on every corner so you can buy food that’s been grown naturally in a garden - but living in Burbank, CA now it is different. Of course there are farmer’s markets on the weekends but if you miss one what do you do? Well, I googled organic food and to my shock and shame - we have a Whole Foods Grocery right down the street that I didn’t even know existed. We’ve lived in Burbank almost 5 years and I didn’t know this. Whole Foods sells standard grocery food, but they have an enormous selection of natural and organic. Neil just called me from there and said the ribs for our Fourth of July cookout later today are $12.99 per pound. He asked me if we should do that? I told him the only way organic food will come in line with the cheap, mass-produced, genetically engineered, antibiotically charged meat we currently buy is to quit buying it. We’ll just eat less meat, but I can’t wait to taste it. I remember tomatoes from my father’s garden, so juicy and red and the skin was super thin - just to pick one off the vine and eat it was like heaven. The tomatoes from the grocery we usually frequent could be used as tennis balls they are so hard and tasteless.
I’ll let you know how are barbecue goes. Take care and eat well - AND KNOW WHAT YOU EAT AND WHERE IT COMES FROM. And if you get a chance to see Food Inc. GO!
