Watch Lisa Watch Lisa

I’m just off the Blackberry with Lisa Garza who is not too happy with being called a Dallas Diva, or whatever. (”Divas have heart,” she says. And for the record, one of Lisa’s many talents includes singing so the term diva could be considered a compliment.) I told her to breathe into it as the title is really quite redundant and should be considered a good quality. Did Martha Stewart get to the top by sobbing or whining about not being able to find turmeric? (Note to Nipa: if you can’t find the ingredients, change your menu. IJS.) I’ve known Lisa a long time and she is tough as a piece of salt water taffy in the snow. And yes, last night she came off as an aggressive pit bull and probably over prepared, but I’d rather watch a show with a refined Lisa than one with a trumped-up-syrupy-voiced cheerleader like Kelsey or a crying teenybopperchef like Shane. The judges should have been more concerned about eating raw pork and meat loaf than Lisa’s three C’s. (What kind of “professional” would ever, I mean ever, think they could make and plate a meatloaf in 30 minutes. They should both go to cooking jail.) Anywhoo, I stray. Lisa is hosting a show-watching party at Suze next Sunday from 7-10PM. I’d call for a reservation. We’ll all be there with bells and stilettos on. 214-282-0165. suze@aol.com. Lisa is also compiling her critique of last night’s show and will post it here on SideDish later today. Stay tuned.

“Tough as a piece of salt water taffy in the snow.” LOL! Nice coverage Nancy. We’ll see how she fares.
