Breaking News!

Someone from the BBC contacted me today and asked if I'd do a video on roasting and slicing Turkey to be used on a food segment. Apparently I "come across well on camera"... well we've all known that for some time now ;)

I KNEW you were going to become famous once the mainstream media discovered you!

Don't forget us little people when you start partying with Oprah and Gail...; September 11, 2008 at 6:14 PM
Robin said...: How funny!! How did they find you? (I know from your blog, but how did they discover your blog.)

"Don't forget us little people when you start partying with Oprah and Gail..." yes!; September 11, 2008 at 6:41 PM
Mrs Furious said...: Haley,
If having a weird YouTube segment on a british cooking show doesn't spell fame I don't know what does! ;)
Now to figure out how to actually cook and carve a turkey...

Robin,
I have no idea. He found me through YouTube not the blog... must have been searching for cooking videos.; September 11, 2008 at 7:14 PM
wootini said...: Wow!!! That is so cool. Famous Mrs. F!; September 11, 2008 at 7:45 PM
Heather said...: Dude!! You hit the big time. Make sure you wear a solid color - pink is a good one one you. And wear a little makeup. :); September 11, 2008 at 7:51 PM
Mrs Furious said...: Heather,
light pink or dark pink?
I'll be wearing my apron too.
Hey I do have a real chef's coat... and pants... and hat ;) That would be hilarious!

Emily,
wouldn't it be cool if it actually parlayed into something?!; September 11, 2008 at 7:56 PM
HC said...: Ooo... you could talk like the swedish chef...

"Orka borka borka... turkey... YA YA YA!!" and wack a frozen turkey with a rolling pin. :); September 11, 2008 at 8:16 PM
Mrs Furious said...: Haley,
LOL... that would be hilarious; September 11, 2008 at 8:47 PM
Robin said...: Ahhh, that makes sense.

Haley, God, I seriously laughed out loud on that one!!; September 11, 2008 at 8:57 PM
Preppy Mama said...: OMG that is awesome!! You are now officially my role model!!; September 11, 2008 at 9:09 PM
Tiffany said...: Wow that is so cool! Mrs. F on the British channel. That is the British channel isn't it?; September 11, 2008 at 9:46 PM
Mr Furious said...: Too early to start shopping for houses in Europe?; September 11, 2008 at 9:57 PM
Mrs Furious said...: Tiffany,
Yes that's the British channel... but if it makes it on it will be the one in England not the American version.

Preppy Mama,
I'd hold of on that until we see if I actually can roast & carve a Turkey ;)

Mr F,
It's never too early for that.; September 11, 2008 at 10:10 PM
Torey said...: AWESOME!!!!!!!!!!

I'm super jealous!

Now go practice turkey making!; September 11, 2008 at 10:43 PM
Julie said...: omg, this is really hilarious. I can't wait to see your little turkey carving video.; September 11, 2008 at 11:03 PM
Heather said...: I say dark pink, as long as it's not crazy bright fuschia.; September 11, 2008 at 11:48 PM
Kiki said...: At home dermatology has got to be better than my "Shear Genius" moment when I cut my own bangs...

Haley, I am laughing so hard tears are rolling down my cheeks, I loved that Swedish chef, mostly cause I am Swedish.

Okay I am completely addicted to the BBC and this only confirms that is the most wonderful channel on tv, the fact that they recognized the star that lives inside Mrs.F!!!

Mr F, you'll need to shop for a loft in Brookyln and a FLAT in London, you'll be international Furious'!!! So awesome!!; September 11, 2008 at 11:51 PM
Shirls said...: congrats! but the line "at home dermatology" now that cracked me up...; September 12, 2008 at 11:23 AM
carrie said...: How exciting! So are you having turkey for dinner this weekend? :)

I can't get the Swedish Chef hum out of my head! ARGH!; September 12, 2008 at 12:10 PM
HC said...: Who knew there was an underground swedish chef appreciation society??

I love it!

Pigs in Space always kind of did it for me, too. :); September 12, 2008 at 12:31 PM
angie said...: Very Cool. Keep us updated!!! Good luck!; September 12, 2008 at 1:40 PM
Margo said...: Awesome! You'll have to link to it when it airs!; September 12, 2008 at 3:51 PM
Mrs Furious said...: I'm hoping if it turns out and they use it that there'll be someway for us to see it. Otherwise I'm gonna need the Brits out there to tape it for me!; September 12, 2008 at 4:07 PM
katieo said...: ohmygosh! That is so exciting!
(another swedish chef fan...that made me laugh out loud haley...); September 12, 2008 at 4:50 PM
Mrs Furious said...: Katieo,
Of course I'm way over stressed than necessary and keep calling Mr F with more "Turkey Crisis" updates. Last time we talked I was saying how I really hoped this was legitimate... and then we laughed about how funny it would be if some random guy was just going to put my video on his blog with a tag like "look what I got this gullible idiot to do this weekend"; September 12, 2008 at 5:19 PM
Andrea said...: I always knew youd be famous, this is way cool!; September 12, 2008 at 5:24 PM
P.O.M. said...: You just took "famous" to a whole new level! Will you get paid handsomly for this gig? Think of all the Target trips in your future!! FUN.

PS: I think an apron with NO pants under would be hilarous and nobody would know!; September 12, 2008 at 7:48 PM
SUNSHINE MOM said...: Congrats!; September 13, 2008 at 12:30 AM
Shelley said...: That is so exciting! I can't wait to see the video. How stressful, i would be shooting about 50 thousand takes cuz i would keep screwing up. Good luck & congrats!; September 13, 2008 at 12:40 AM
Shelley said...: This comment has been removed by the author.; September 13, 2008 at 12:40 AM
Logzie said...: Congrats Mrs. F!!! You are incredibly comfortable in front of the camera...that's what drew me to your blog to begin with. I always feel like I'm right there with you!

I'm so excited for you!!!; September 13, 2008 at 6:57 PM
Missives From Suburbia said...: Ahhh... finally you get your due!; September 14, 2008 at 1:18 AM
