Are these really TV's worst actors?
MSN TV has put together a list of TV's Worst Actors . . . and they're not just ragging on the bit characters on various series. Instead, they went for the jugular . . . by naming the worst actors, who are (or were) the STARS of their shows. They didn't rank their selections . . . so we don't know whom they'd consider THE worst, overall. But regardless, here's their list . . .
--WILLIAM SHATNER . . . (Boston Legal)
--The girls on the (CW network's) updated 90210 series. (MSN singles out SHENAE GRIMES, ANNALYNNE MCCORD and JESSICA STROUP.)
--DAVID CARUSO . . . (CSI: Miami)
--SPENCER PRATT . . . (The Hills)
--GILLIAN ANDERSON . . . (The X-Files)
--CHAD MICHAEL MURRAY . . . (One Tree Hill)
--JENNIFER LOVE HEWITT . . . (Ghost Whisperer)
--MATTHEW FOX . . . (Lost)
--FRAN DRESCHER . . . (The Nanny)
--DAVID HASSELHOFF . . . (Baywatch)

Side Dish Showdown Recipes
We brought back the "Side Dish Showdown" for our annual pre-Thanksgiving show. Kevin's Banana Nut Bread vs. Sarah's Cranberry Spiced Pears vs. Mike's German Potato Salad.
Jim "Dr. J" Ellis from Provena Covenant and Chef Benjamin Grice were our guest judges and they decided that it was too close to call and we ended up in a 3-way tie! Here are the recipes if you'd like to try your hand at our dishes. . .
Kevin's Banana Nut Bread (it's actually his wife Angela's)
(Kevin says: "I recommend mashing the bananas with your feet.")
1/3 c. Shortening
1/2 c. Sugar
2 eggs
1 3/4 c. Flour
1 tsp. baking powder
1/2 tsp. baking soda
1 c. mashed ripe banana
1/2 c. chopped walnuts
Cream: shortening & sugar. Add eggs, blend well. In seperate bowl mix flour, powder, and soda. Alternating with mashed banana add dry mix to egg mixture. Mix well after each addition. Add nuts.
Pour into well greased loaf pan. Bake @ 350 for 45-50min. in 9x5x3 pan.
Sarah's Cranberry Spiced Pears
(Sarah says: "I'm using this instead of cranberry sauce this year!")
3 cups cranberry-raspberry juice
1/2 cup dried cranberries
2 strips orange zest, 2-inches x 1-inch
1/2 tsp. ground allspice
Pinch of ground cloves (or more, if desired)
2 cans (15 oz. each) pear halves in concentrated juice
1. Place cranberry-raspberry juice, cranberries, zest and spices in a deep saucepan. Bring to boil over medium-high heat. Reduce heat to medium and cook until mixture is reduced to about 2 cups, about 10 to 12 minutes.
2. Meanwhile, drain pears, reserving liquid for another use. (The juice makes a refreshing beverage mixed equally with club soda.) Place pears in a serving bowl. Pour hot liquid over pears. Set aside to cool and let sit 20 minutes at room temperature before serving. (Pears keep 3 to 4 days, refrigerated.)
***I recommend making this the night before and letting the flavors marry together. . . YUMMO!
Mike Cation's German Potato Salad
Mike says: "This is a secret recipe and has potatoes, bacon and salt." Thanks Mike. :-)
