HopefulHeart Posted October 31, 2015 Posted October 31, 2015 One of the Franciscan Sisters of the Eucharist will be competing on the Food Network show Chopped! It will air on November 9 at 8:00 pm EST. http://www.patheos.com/blogs/pursuedbytruth/2015/10/religious-sister-to-appear-on-food-networks-chopped.html Though I enjoy watching Chopped on the Food Network website, I don't have cable, so I unfortunately won't be able to see the episode when it airs. I hope Sister does well!
Gabriela Posted October 31, 2015 Posted October 31, 2015 That's pretty amesome. It's time like this (and only times like this) that I wish I actually had a tv!
Nunsuch Posted October 31, 2015 Posted October 31, 2015 Gabriela, you may want to check; some of the Food Network programs are streamed free of charge on the network's website. Maybe someone can remember to post a link after the show airs? I will try, but can't promise to remember....
Sr Mary Catharine OP Posted October 31, 2015 Posted October 31, 2015 We were invited to be on Chopped but the extern sisters didn't want to even though they are both great cooks!
Makarioi Posted November 1, 2015 Posted November 1, 2015 We were invited to be on Chopped but the extern sisters didn't want to even though they are both great cooks! That show is sooooo stressful. I don't know how they do it!
Feankie Posted November 1, 2015 Posted November 1, 2015 There was a pretty good sized article about Sr. Alicia in the Chicago Tribune today. She, of course, can't divulge the outcome of this taped show. Her comments indicated she was pretty confident about the competition and cites baking as one of her strong suits.
elizabeth09 Posted November 2, 2015 Posted November 2, 2015 (edited) I am not a big fan of watching someone cook on tv, but it might open some eyes to some people that did not know this. I do hope that the sister does well. Edited November 2, 2015 by elizabeth09

elizabeth09 Posted November 4, 2015 Posted November 4, 2015 Watching someone else cook on tv is so much better than having to do it yourself. True
chrysostom Posted November 4, 2015 Posted November 4, 2015 What's even better is watching someone else cook right in front of you. You can offer token help like cutting vegetables, etc., but you get none of the stress. Then you get to smell it. Then you get to eat it. Then you get to thank the cook personally. Then you get to be thanked in return for your token help. Then you might even get to keep the leftovers and microwave them the next day, and perhaps, depending on the dish and out of the view of the cook, add extra helpings of honey.

I sense you've thought this one through.
Gabriela Posted November 4, 2015 Posted November 4, 2015 Indeed. And now I'm curious: How many of us want to be nuns just so someone else will cook for us for the rest of our lives?
vee Posted November 5, 2015 Posted November 5, 2015 Ive searched my tv listings to set the pvr and it seems it may be aired on a different date here in Canada. Id ask anyone who does watch please no spoilers! Indeed. And now I'm curious: How many of us want to be nuns just so someone else will cook for us for the rest of our lives? Where Ive applied every able bodied Sister has to take her turn in the kitchen. Even when I visited they decided it would be a good idea to throw me in the kitchen alone and test my baking skills. Luckily I can bake and it was the world's easiest apple cake I had to make but still Ive never had nuns judge my cooking before!
Spem in alium Posted November 5, 2015 Posted November 5, 2015 In my community, all of us (except one Sister who is in our aged care, and another who works a lot in the church) take turns at cooking. Most of us have a day of the week when we cook, except Saturdays, and Sundays we cook in rotation.
katherineH Posted November 20, 2015 Posted November 20, 2015 I contacted the Food Network to ask when the episode would be available, and they responded: At this time, the Chopped Thanksgiving Soup-er Stars episode is only available to view by logging into the Food Network Watch site: http://watch.foodnetwork.com/player.CQ.html Best regards, Food Network Viewer Relations I don't think they have any intention of streaming it for free since new episodes aired since this one have already been streaming
Makarioi Posted November 21, 2015 Posted November 21, 2015 Wonder why... Perhaps it was an agreement with the Order and other contestants?
