Ina Garten
DL, you are slipping. You have not had a thread about your Patroness Saint in awhile.
So, open up. How is Ina doing? Has Jeffrey been spotted at any Fire Island orgies? Who are her "best friends" now that she dropped the gay guy like a crumpet straight out of the oven? What "good quality" ingredients is she currently shilling?
Give me the Summer Ina dish!

She doesn't seem to have been in the news lately. I'm sure she's buzzing around the Hamptons as we speak (in more ways than one).

I try to imagine her and Jeffrey having sex.
Somehow it ain't happening.

"Only use a good vanilla" should be on her gravestone.

My mother. who loves Ina, met her at a bookstore in Paris and asked for her to autograph one of her cookbooks but they didn't have any of them in stock. She told my mother to email her assistant her address and she would send her one. A few weeks later my mother received three of them all signed by Ina.

Have we turned our backs on her? I don't see much love for Ina on DL anymore.

I’ve always been a fan, but the last few times i watched a show of hers, she was simply assembling a cheese tray or a sundae. Not much cooking involved.

She bought that Manhattan apartment and a zillion dollar stove to go in it a couple of years ago. I'll bet she's not hanging around the Hamptons all that much anymore.

Do you think she and Martha ever run into each other socially? Do they like or despise each other?

Awhile back I was watching one of her reruns and was struck by a thought (okay -I'm REALLY slow...). I went to Google and began to type, "Does In Garten..." and Google autofilled the query with the exact words I was going to type: "...any straight friends?" Clearly the world wants to know!
I enjoy watching Ina on TV. I expect I'd enjoy having her as a friend (I am a gay man, after all...), but as a cook she tends to leave me cold. She goes way too heavy on the salt, and for someone who says she loves simplicity she tends to take simple dishes and make them needlessly complex with unnecessary ingredients (see her leek and potato soup for example).
And I may be the only person on DL who believes her husband, Jeffrey, is straight. I imagine they have a pretty sexless marriage –but mostly because she's so busy and he has a young, slender blonde that he's banging on the side.

I always assumed Jeffrey was banging twins on his business trips or hanging out at The Townhouse

I guess it had to happen, but on the last new show aired, Ina really started looking old. I mean, her hair was still nicely done and colored and makeup was well applied, but she looked haggard and her weight is now definitely becoming an issue as her breathing was really labored. Overall, I think she's a fascinating personality because although she conveys great warmth on the show, she strikes me as someone who is quite cold in real life. She admits she gets her iciness from her mom whom she always tried to please but couldn't.

She is old, she is 71. How do you expect her to look?
