Weekend Eye Candy



This hot blond is Curtis Stone, the host of Take Home Chef on the TLC. Every Friday, Curtis picks up some woman in the supermarket in LA and helps her to cook a meal for her husband/boyfriend/girlfriend. It chiefly consists of Curtis flirting outrageously with the woman while cooking delicious meals. My kind of show. Plus Curtis is Australian and I'm fatally attracted to Australian men, even blonds which are not my usual cup of tea.

On the episode I watched, Curtis met Nancy, a fellow Aussie in what looked like Gelson's in LA in the laundry detergent aisle. Nancy said that her husband liked Mexican food so Curtis devised a simple meal of two kinds of dip with fresh homemade tortilla chips, and a big slab of steak with herbed butter. No vegetables or a salad, but I guess after they ate that huge steak, vegetables would seem beside the point.

Anyway, when they got back to Nancy's place, Nancy had to change into her cooking tube top to help Curtis out in the kitchen. I kid you not, a tube top. They then did shots of tequila, and drank wine. Oh yeah, and some cooking was involved. It was like watching Cinemax or Skinemax as Meg Cabot likes to call it but with cooking.

Anyway, check out the web-site and his credentials on www.tlc.com. He's actually quite the accomplished chef when he's not leering at the women he's cooking for.

Thanks for reading!
