Have you ever heard of the Pioneer Woman? If you answered "No," I'm going to give you a few minutes to get out from under that giant boulder you've been hiding under for the past few years. I hope you're okay.
If you answered "Yes," then you know exactly how excited we were when we discovered that Pioneer Woman (also known as Ree Drummond) would be having her own cooking show on Food Network.
So excited, in fact, that we decided to have a Ree-themed viewing party, complete with a lasso station (or Rubbermaid tubs with dinosaur hats on top), a hayride, and of course... Pioneer Woman dishes.
With all of this pageantry and hoopla, we almost forgot about actually watching the show (although the guys in the group would have been okay had we never remembered). The show didn't quite live up to our expectations, but we blamed it all on the producers. It could never be Ree's fault. We just comforted our disappointment with more meatloaf, spicy Dr. Pepper shredded pork, and monster cookies.
And we cried "Ree, Ree, Ree" all the way home.
