...expressions "BAM!" and "Kick it up a notch." You can also predict a branding; with her new magazine Every Day with Rachael Ray, the unnaturally perky Ray--who plays a flibbertigibbet on her show 30 Minute Meals but is said to be a savvy businesswoman--seems poised to grow beyond her niche of working women...
...Still, Batali won't run out of culinary ideas any time soon. On his Mac he keeps a database of 20,000 recipes collected over the years on his travels to out-of-the-way Italian towns like the one where he apprenticed. So how big can Batali Inc. grow?

Cost is another issue. The procedure runs from $8,500 to $12,000 and is covered...
...they keep gorging on sugar and fried food. In the pilot, the parents watch, horrified, as their three sons morph and swell into pallid, pimply, ill-groomed tubs who look vaguely like serial killers. For some reason, the computer model assumes that junk food motivates men to grow bad facial hair...
