My day was brightened today by this clip of my favorite Food Network personality, Sandra Lee. Apparently, she misjudged how mmmmmm her cocktail consisting of vodka, heavy cream, and lemonade was going to be. Her face: priceless.
I have to say Sandra Lee gets no cred in a world where Paula Deen and Rachael Ray rule the Food Network roost. But she’s the best! Her kitschy Food-for-less inspired recipes, her signature cocktails (I’m telling you, let’s focus less on LiLo Rehab Watch, more on when Sandra’s going to do a turn at good old Promises), and her TABLESCAPES. Check out this clip where she double fists a mimosa and something with Alize then shows us her Under-the-Sea tablescape.

And then her Halloween specials. I loved the year when she dressed like her four favorite singers. In this clip, she is Cher. She was also cone-bra Madonna, LIZA (with a Z), and Barbra Streisand. Wait, is Sandra just a huge hag, or is she the best post-op in the world?
And then there’s where Sandra Lee went wrong — when this Wisconsin white girl made… a Kwanzaa cake.
But then Paula Deen makes up for it with the biggest moment in racial equality on TV… ever. She has a dream! And it is that two southern women — one black, one white — would one day share a sandwich made up of two donuts, a burger, and a fried egg.
