I have spend so many afternoons watching Food network shows and I never get tired of watching this. One of the show i love watching is Barefoot Contessa by Ina Gartner. I think afternoons are also one of the worst time to watch cookery shows. Since your lunch is starting to digest and being the most laziest time of the day you feel like making all the enticing things they show. Another wrong time to watch these show is when you are on the treadmill. Here you are trying to burn some calories and there they are showing to cook some yummy cheesey stuff.
This salty cheesey cracker is a result of watching her show.
