This or That, Day 12
7I have to say, you are nothing if not committed. I didn’t measure it, but I would bet there were more inches of space dedicated to write-ins than to the official choices, including keeping the Wonder Woman meme going. I’d complain, but the flapper version of WW was a nice addition.
And for those who didn’t know either or at least Miss Fisher, it seemed her relative cuteness won the day.
So rather than switch things up, we’ll keep going in that direction, with a slight alteration. As we settle into Fall (or for some of us Winter!)…
…we start thinking about staying in, holidays, getting together with friends and family,
and foooood
So to get us thinking food, today’s choice is between two cooking show (loosely defined, different forums – don’t get all technical “unequal choices” on me) hosts. They may not be the best, they may not be your favorites, you may have never seen them before, but I caught one saying “meh” so that was fun, and they’re both Italian (or at least partly) so they have that going for them.
Besides, I’m convinced you’ll come up with some way to weave Wonder Woman into the thread. Just try to make it more creative than a picture of her eating.
Today it is
Rosanna Pansino
vs. Giada DeLaurentiis

@therealjrn oh I do her. Her restaurants are amazing and met her at a live event years ago.
@therealjrn @tinamarie1974 Yes, and she’s Italian too which checks off the other box…just wishing we could
@therealjrn @ybmuG this group is kinda like hearing…oh hey what is that shiny object…wait, where was I??
@therealjrn @tinamarie1974 @ybmuG Yeah right. THAT’S gonna happen…
/giphy chasing rabbits
Ahem…
@tinamarie1974 Dang…
@ybmuG hehehehe
@tinamarie1974 Poor @ybmuG got served.
@therealjrn @ybmuG I do kinda feel bad, but this is kinda fun. Poor ybmuG is gonna hate WW by the end of the month
@tinamarie1974 I mean it was 8 minutes! Maybe tomorrow will be harder
@therealjrn I see what you did there…
@tinamarie1974 @ybmuG
/giphy That’s what she said.
@mike808 @tinamarie1974
@mike808 @tinamarie1974 @ybmuG Jeff Goldblum is on The View today! Also, this WW pic takes the title for the ‘best picture ever posted’, which again, is just a title, praise, and adoration.
@Gypsigirl213 @mike808 @ybmuG aaawww thanks, but I would really like the adoration of some sweet, hot, single man. Ok I would settle for cute instead if hot
Goat I blame you, just because
Is that a Hell’s Kitchen emblem Rosanna is wearing? If so she gets my vote.
@Mehrocco_Mole The crazy ones are better in other rooms besides the kitchen. I’ll jump on the Rosanna train.
Rosanna b/c I don’t like the other one. She seems fake
@tinamarie1974 No “seems” about it to me.
@mike808 well since I have never met her I can only trust my gut… therefore "seems’
@tinamarie1974 Right after she was born, she moved to Cali. Her grandad is Dino DeLaurentiis, the movie producer of those 70s disaster films. She grew up as a wealthy Hollywood legacy child.
@mike808 ooohhhhhhh, so maybe my guy was right!
@mike808 *gut
@mike808 @tinamarie1974
…she never says that. ha ha
Well, I didn’t know either so took a bit of time to watch some videos - I’d have to say that Giada DeLaurentiis would get my vote just for being a real person. I’m not sure what Rosanna’s thing is, but she’s too busy being a personality and I couldn’t watch more than a few minutes of her stuff. And Giada’s food looked much tastier. And she has a cooler first name. And she was going to be an anthropologist. And I know who her father was even before I saw it. So, there - I guess.
Rosanna is fun.
Never was really that much of a fan of Giada.
Sorry, WW. Sorry, Gal Gadot. I have an even huger crush on Giada De Laurentiis. I love Italian food, and she makes it all seem exxxtra sexy and alluring.

@mike808 NICE!!
@tinamarie1974
She even has her own line of products…
@mike808 oh my WORD!
@mike808 @tinamarie1974 tell me that’s your kitchen and I’ll really be impressed
@mike808 @ybmuG not mine. My mixer (same brand) is black
@mike808 Extra points for WW cooking in full costume w/heart apron, and Krypto!
@mike808 You win the internet bro! And I NEED that mixer!
Delaurilentils
@miko1 as opposed to Pansipinto?
Tough call - I wasn’t familiar with either so I checked out some videos. Rosanna seems incredibly talented in quite a number of subjects and really has entertainment down.
Giada seems like a go to for finding out how to make something and why each step is important.
Every time I saw a Rosanna video, I laughed. Every time I saw a Giada video I learned something.
If I wanted to hang out with someone and laugh myself silly, it would be Rosanna.
Today I want to learn something, so Giada.
Alton Brown
Out of the two, I would go with Rosanna. But…

@tnhillbillygal I’ve been watching Ochikeron for years! Nice choice.
Giada DeLaurentiis. She isn’t as entertaining, but if I wanted entertaining, I’d watch WW.
If I’m going to watch a cooking show (rarely) I want to learn something.
@JnKL Then good eats is where its at. And ATK/CC.
Bridget and Julia.
Two girls, one stick of butter.
Not a cooking show kinda guy, but I couldn’t resist doing a little research to add to the conversation…
Giada De Laurentiis - “Not Wonder Woman”

Rosanna Pansino -
My first takeaway is that, if I’m the first one to post those pics, some of you are slacking…
Second is that the choice here seems clear.
¯\_(ツ)_/¯
@DennisG2014 I feel like I need to do more research before I post these, if for no other reason than to anticipate what’s coming and how quickly…
@ybmuG Or you could, as it occurred to me today, change it to “This, That… or the Other”.
(i.e., I’mma give you two choices, but I know you’ll do whatever the hell you want anyway.)
¯\_(ツ)_/¯
@DennisG2014 I think that’s really what it is by default anyway ,whatever the heck I call it.
Giada.
I based this solely on the first section of their Wikipedia entries. As soon as I got to the title “Nerdy Nummies” on Rosanna Pansino’s page, I knew my choice.
Ugh. Not familiar with either, so I’ll choose C. All of the above
Having just watched a bit of her TV show, I came back to vote for Rachael Ray.
She did the sex appeal thing back in the day and nailed it IMO (not going to post the pics, just google her and “FHM”), and now she just seems sweet and down-to-earth. And the food she makes always looks pretty yummy, too.
I don’t know anything about either one.
So … to be a tiny bit disruptive …
I’ll go with classics.

@f00l Julia Child
@f00l @tinamarie1974 Julia is definitely one of my favorites. Cooked my first meal having watched her do it. I made a souffle. A bit adventurous…
@f00l
I’m shocked!
@f00l @ybmuG My favorite SNL chef is still Phil Hartman as the Anal Rentive Chef
Can’t say that I know who either of those people are, but apparently celebrity chefs is just blind spot for me. Of all the other alternatives that people have chimed in, Julia Child is the only one that I have ever heard of.
I’m wanting to judge the two chefs (that I’ve never watched) in the most fair way possible possible based purely on their abilities. So…
Giada:
Rosanna:
Comparing them in a non-judgmental non-biased way, I’m thinking Rosanna would be the top chef.
However, which one could bake a perfect meal of stack enchiladas is still in question.
@daveinwarsh So you’re comparing what appears to be a paparazzi shot of Giada at the beach to an intentional, posed butt shot of Rosanna? That hardly seems fair.
@daveinwarsh @Limewater
I’m sure Giada wore that suit to the beach thinking, “no one will notice me in this.”
Personally, I think it’s not fair to compare boobs to butt - I mean, that’s almost literally apples to oranges. (Maybe melons to peaches? )
@daveinwarsh @DennisG2014 Sure, it’s a revealing swimsuit. And she’s wearing makeup. She’s clearly expecting to be seen in public.
But pose and lighting matter a lot.
For example, remember the bar scene in Terminator 2, where Arnold says, “I need you clothes, your boots, and your motorcycle?” If you look at candid shots from the set you’ll see some where Arnold looks WAY less impressive than others, because he was in poor lighting or didn’t have a pump or good posture. He did have awesome shorts, though.
Just look at this:
He did have awesome shorts, though.
@DennisG2014 @Limewater I know. Life ain’t fair. I looked at 10’s of photos to find a swimsuit photo of each. That’s all Google had for me.
@daveinwarsh @DennisG2014 @Limewater
you’re clearly using the wrong search engine.
@daveinwarsh @DennisG2014 @Limewater Nothing wrong with the view from behind for Giada either.
Rosanna just has a self-produced YouTube channel for under 10 years and 2 cookbooks to show for herself.
Giada has been a culinary professional for decades, multiple TV shows, multiple cookbooks, and launched several restaurants.
Giada for the win. She is a “brand” and the whole package. Rosanna is a one-hit wonder YT narcissist.
Judging these two culinary achievers based on looks (boobs/butt photos) is a heaping tablespoon of objectification, don’tcha thank?
@mike808 objectification? I object!
Have you seen the firefighter posts? The Superman beefcake post? The guys doing yard work?
I agree, just because TinaMarie does it, doesn’t make it right!
@JnKL @mike808 hey, hey now. @mike808 posts those pics for me and @oldcatlady ALL the time.
Anyway, I am equal opportunity. I have posted so many gifs of leather clad, high heeled, low in the front, high in the back women with whips and cuffs! Just sayin.
/giphy sex sells
you’re an all-star
@JnKL @Limewater
Get off mah lawn!
@JnKL @mike808 his belly button looks sad!
@JnKL @Limewater @mike808 When seventy two years old you reach, look as good, you will not, hmmm?
@JnKL @mike808 @ybmuG I don’t think he was 72 in the above pic, but he was also looking pretty darn impressive.
And, actually, he’s still in good shape and impressive-looking now.
