Lidia Bastianich


Victoria

Recommended Posts

Times like this I really hate not having TiVo or a DVR. There I was, sitting on my sofa, clicker in hand when I pounced on my local PBS.

On it was that semi-baldie, Italian mistress of pastas and ragus, Lidia Bastianich, hard at work in her kitchen when SUDDENLY! she turns her wrist to the camera, and what do I see?

A full-sized pumpkin Omega Planet Ocean, on a beautiful deep orange croc strap!!

Okay, her hands are too plump, and her arms too stumpy to be able to get away with it, BUT it reminded me of all the other watches I remember her wearing on her cookery show.

Check it out:

I do believe that's a Franck Muller Conquistador, a Tank Fran

Nigella, being a goddess, must have good taste in watches. She can do no wrong in my eyes.

That and the fact she resembles a dead heat in a zeppelin race, which certainly helps cloud my judgement. :D

Your taste in watches AND women seems to be excellent, Mr. Pug.

I have a huge woman-crush on Nigella. That voice. :wub:

EDIT: I'm sure every man here knows exactly what Jay was thinking.

Ahem, but to make it on-topic:

Well. At least it wasn't the pink-dial Rolex DJ. I hate those... :p

EDIT: And I see Nigella and I have similar tastes in rings. I have that exact emerald-cut aquamarine ring. What taste. What a woman!

She may be a good cook, but, as with Julia Childs before her, I cannot watch a cookery show hosted by a woman that makes my stomach turn, no matter what may be dangling from her grubby wrist.

Now Nigella :wub: She could brew up a vat of borscht with 2 dead beagles thrown in for lumps & my eyes would remain glued to the set (I hate beets & I am a vegetarian)

Wow, thank God I'm not a man. I just can't imagine what it is going around basing likes and dislikes on looks or whether someone gets me randy. I could never have watched years of Parky or Benny Hill if that were the case. :mellow:

I know you're not shallow, Freddy. But this trait that men have never fails to make me raise my eyebrow.

WHAT are you doing at Houston's as a vegetarian??? :lol:

I greatly dislike vegans. Vegetarians are all right. My dad is one. So was his father -- in the 1930s...

Me, red meat couldn't be bloodier for me to love it. As Patrick Henry said, "Give me red meat, or give me early cardiovascular disease!!".

Houston's makes some of the best burgers (including a veggie-based burger) in the world. And my guttural repulsion to Lidia (and Julia) has nothing to do with randyness (my mother would tell you the same thing about Lidia and, no, my mother is not a lesbian (at least not to my knowledge)). And I have similar feelings about tv news readers (remember that thread).

As Patrick Henry said, "Give me red meat, or give me early cardiovascular disease!!".

And look where Patrick Henry is today - dead.

Pass the salad.

Ah well, that's all right then. You made it sound as if your only viewing criteria with women was youth, beauty, and sexiness.

It's like liking men only because they have a full head of hair, nice abs, and a nice car. And we don't know ANY women like that in this world, do we? ;)

Times like these I'm so glad Hitler was a vegetarian. :animal_rooster:

Not all of us. I'm marrying my boyfriend because of his nature, and he's marrying me for my brains.

Of course, his being Italian helps, and my background doesn't hurt. :lol:

The comment was tongue and cheek & I wish you two all the best.

Emeril Lagasse usually wears an always gleaming twotone Datejust, but I could not locate a good picture.

I know. :)

Thanks, Freddy!

I saw that, yes. I was ViewImaging him too.

He seems to be another WIS-Foodie.

I've seen Tyler Florence wearing a Pam 217 and a Santos 100 chrono on his show.

Excellent, thanks, Slai!

I had to Google him, because I had never of him. Nice-looking chap.

Don't you wonder where some of these chefs got their tastes in watches? Most of them are East Coasters, so the Panerais some of them have seem to be a late, Hollywoodesque influence.

Here is a lady chef I cannot stand, Oprah's acolyte, Rachael Ray with her Madame Tussaud's waxwork. The wax dummy even has her trademark black J12!!

Edit: Wonder if Tussaud's chose a Canal St rep to place on her wrist. :lol:

...for me, she's the anti-Nigella. :yuk:

Pug, your post 2 windows up is wrong/sexist/humiliating/blah/blah/blah

I wonder if men here feel they have to say things like that because the women present expect them to (somehow)?

Let me be clear. I hate feminism. I hate when women get their knickers in a bunch whenever a man compliments a woman physically -- or even refers to a woman, physically.

The only time I have ever been taken aback by any kind of "sexism" are about women-centric posts verging on the misogynistic. And also, as I have said before, when members post pics of their girlfriends in exhibitionist fashion. I find that a bit sad. God forbid my boyfriend ever does that to me -- I'd leave him on the spot.

Other than that, speaking only for myself and not any of the RWG ladies, but Clive's Moto-Girl, Ajoesmith's avatar, Tech's avatar, and all the porn you can lobby in the Looney Bin is okay by me.

I LOVED Pug's Nigella book. Anyone know if Amazon carries Nigella's t1t book? Oh right, they are all her t1t books. :lol:

Here's Bobby Flay wearing that Gold DJ you spoke of, its_urabus! :)

And the impeccably dressed (for an NBA game) Chef Flay near actor Nick Cannon. I wonder what the latter is wearing -- Silberstein? His lovely date has on a very nice Roadster.

Here's Emeril again wearing that TT Rollie. Doesn't he look like Antonin Scalia in this pic? :lol:

emerilgl1.jpg

And Wolfgang Puck sporting what I think is La Bomba, the PAM 187. Whichever it is, he is faithful to that trend I notice in celebs, of wearing his PAMs with the provided straps (in his case, the PU rubber diver strap), rather than getting a nice aftermarket one.

Oh God, Giada! Another beautiful voice. :wub:

Maybe her grandmother, Silvana Mangano, might've been more beautiful. But it should've been Giada de Laurentiis not that unrefined Italian elf, Rachael Ray, who Oprah should've propelled to the big time.

Not a big watch person, I've noticed. But here she is wearing a...RADO??
