Related Links

I'm thinking we should leave related links as they are now - her Web site and her Food Network bio. The Proboards and TWoP links are more inflammatory than neutral. (We could leave them in if there are "supportive" Sandra links out there, but I have yet to find any.) Amnewsboy 22:41, 9 March 2006 (UTC)

alcohol criticism

I hate to defend the lady (really, I do), but it may be a bit unfair to single her out for her excessive alcohol-related show content. Bobby Flay does just as much boozin' on his show, if not more Lambertman 17:39, 24 April 2006 (UTC)

I'd never heard of this woman before, and I don't defend her use of pre-packaged food as it does often contain high amounts of fat, sugar, salt, and preservatives. However, regarding the use of liquor in a recipe, unless the dish remains uncooked, alcohol will evaporate under cooking temperatures, leaving behind only the flavor.

Most, but not 100% of it, will evaporate, so if you have alcohol-sensitive guests you should find an alternative. (Or alternative guests!) I believe that the Sanda Lee criticism stems from the fact that often times she makes some pretty simple "vodka punches" on the show, recipes more at home in a college campus than a gourmet kitchen. However, Michael Chiarello almost always makes cocktails for his "parties" and, as mentioned above, Bobbly Flay has testified to being quite imbibed on occasion. --JD79 19:08, 29 October 2006 (UTC)

NO, most does not evaporate. A study conducted by the US Department of Agriculture’s Nutrient Data Laboratory calculated the percentage of alcohol remaining in a dish based on various cooking methods. The results are as follows:

Preparation Method Percent of Alcohol Retained alcohol added to boiling liquid & removed from heat 85% alcohol flamed 75% no heat, stored overnight 70% baked, 25 minutes, alcohol not stirred into mixture 45% baked/simmered, alcohol stirred into mixture:

   * 15 minutes                                                    40%

   * 30 minutes                                                    35%

   * 1 hour                                                        25%

possible implants?

Is it me or did her headlights quadriple in size recently.

I don't think they're implants. The seem awfully low.

I can confirm that they are. She has also had cheek implants. unfortunately the only source I can cite is that she's a friend of my step-mom's. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 75.73.209.201 (talk) 15:38, 10 December 2006 (UTC).
