Opinion: Rachael Ray Roundup

Fri, Mar 7

I have a few little tidbits that didn't make it into posts this week. A reminder for those of you with pets out there - Rachael's Feed Your Pets special airs tomorrow at 9:00 pm. Also, there's an auction closing today at 6:00 PM EST over at Charity Folks to benefit the Alzheimer's Association. You can bid on 2 VIP tickets to Rachael's show. Right now, the current bid is $1,000.

As for me and Baby Miller, things are going well! This weekend my best friend is throwing a shower for us, which will be very fun. It's like a wedding - lots of my college friends will be there and we'll get the chance to catch up. I think there might even be some Rachael Ray recipes on the menu (who would have suggested those?), so I will report back!

Here are some Rachael Ray posts from around the blogosphere this week. If you see a post that you think would be good for the Roundup, or you write one yourself, e-mail me so I can be sure to include it.
Talk Show Ratings Update: Broadcasting and Cable informs us that, along with a few other talk shows, tied its season high in the third full week of the February sweeps: "CBS’ Rachael Ray rose 5% to a 2.3, and it was the only talk show to gain on the year, also rising 5%." Rachael's buddy Valerie Bertinelli is getting her own talk show, according to TV Squad. Patsy at Family, Friends and Food tried Super Sloppy Joes.
