American Baking Competition

  Re: (...)
We finally watched the first episode of this competition and I really like it. Jeff Foxworthy (is that his name?), I think is perfect for the host - I saw somewhere folks criticizing this choice, but he is so good with the challengers and just over all likes baked products. And, he can always tell us when someone might be a redneck.....

I want to find Francine's recipe for Chocolate Bacon Peanut Butter pie - even her idol pastry chef liked it and thought it worked!!

AND, the competitors are all very supportive of each other and so far no prima donas. Really like it!

Edited to add - FOUND IT! Jesus, I can't possible make it!!!!
- 1 16oz pack of bacon.Good Lord

Cis,

Jean copied and pasted the text from the CBS website about the show (and may not even be aware that the last line mentioned a link to a cookie recipe that Francine made).

HERE is the missing link.

Labs is right, I didn't even notice that - in fact I just saw that episode last night! Sorry Cis.

Good Lord, Sharon, talk about overload!

I am enjoying this show as well. I was really sad to see Effie go this week. It's hard to believe she is an attorney because she seems so sweet. She is one of the better bakers and one bad week should not have sent her home. I do really well with baking cakes, cookies, and muffins but I have given up on pies and breads. That being said, an entire pound of bacon seems like overkill but Francine seems like a go big or go home type person.

Yeah. I liked Effie, too. Also Elaine.

Darlene is doing well.
