9\10/22--The Queen of England has passed; Review of Food Network's Guy Fieri Food Trivia Show.

 Daily Miscellany


Thoughts and flashes of brilliance that enter my head from nowhere.

Enjoy.  Or abhor, depending on the effect of my "wisdom".

Queen Elizabeth Passes at age 96.

















Elizabeth II is the Queen of the United Kingdom and 14 other Commonwealth realms. Elizabeth was born in Mayfair, London, as the first child of the Duke and Duchess of York. Her father acceded to the throne in 1936 upon the abdication of his brother, King Edward VIII, making Elizabeth the heir presumptive.

-----------------------------------------------
Everybody knows by now that Queen Elizabeth is now resting in peace.

Of course we don't have kings and queens here in America.   It's the reason that the Englishmen who founded this country came here to get away from ruling royalty.

But British royalty, especially Queen Elizabeth, are known and respected world wide.  British royalty are more of a source of honor and world respect around the planet.   Queen Elizabeth II spent her entire life in the service of the United Kingdom.  She presides over Canada, Australia and several other countries.

Yes, she has money and the government financed a lot of her travel.  But she has served Great Britain very well.  This royal's presence in a national basis would not work in any other country.

Queen Elizabeth has been a wonderful queen and handled her job with dignity and class.

May  she rest forever in peace.  She deserves it.

Ezekiel Kelly, Memphis Shooting Suspect: 

He went out and about in the city of Memphis and randomly show seven people.  Four of them died.

Just like so many felons nowadays, this guy had been in jail before but the D.A., like so many people of this job, this perp was let out early.

So he goes out and kills innocent Americans just going about their business.

Gotta love these D.A.'s appointed in this era.   They are too often on the side of the felons.

Review-"Guy's Ultimate Game Night"

Food Network, Weds., 9pm

https://www.foodnetwork.com/shows/guys-grocery-games


I was around when Food Network host Guy Fieri won the Next Food Network Star award.  Since then, Fieri has been host of many food oriented shows. He has a couple of shows that feature cooks that compete in a grocery store.   He visits restaurants and shows the viewing audiences the foods prepared by the restaurateur.   

THIS show is, insert grin here, a FOOD TRIVIA show.

It's ok. More on this later.

A food trivia show appealed to me the fist night I checked this new show out.  I am learning to cook and I am learning stuff from this show.

The show has three teams of "famous" people and one more ordinary people.  These famous people are more well known in the food business but beyond that, I never heard of most of them.

The teams are  then subjected into some game that has them competing to win the round.

One round has Guy drawing some food-oriented picture on a board.  The teams then guess what it is to win  points.  Games also include passing around an exploding potato until the clue is guessed correctly.  At some point the potato "blows" up and this brings some levity.

I enjoy the show but it's not one I'd watch on any kind of daily basis.   All the activity can get a bit old.  This is not a Jeopardy trivia show.

But if you get a chance, check it out.   It's somewhat enjoyable.
