    Her food recipes were…not that good.

    But she def knew how to make a cocktail!!🥂

  2. Always blew my mind watching this that she was the First Lady of New York, married (edit: rather, in a long term relationship with) Andrew Cuomo.

    In the fall of 2005, Lee entered into a relationship with [Andrew Cuomo](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Andrew_Cuomo), who served as the 56th [Governor of New York](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Governor_of_New_York) from 2011 until his resignation in August 2021. The two lived in a home owned by Lee in [Chappaqua](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chappaqua,_New_York). On September 25, 2019, the couple announced that they had ended their relationship.

    If anything is going to drive a person to drink…

  4. When I was younger I used to think she got a tv show because her food was sold in grocery stores.

    She’s definitely the fun aunt because she’s the one who brought the special punch that would start fights at the family get togethers. She looks like she’d happily raise her glass to every “family secret” yelled out across the holiday table.

    I think she meant to say two shots of vodka left in the bottle cuz 🫣

    Sandra Lee is an icon; lived in her car in her 20’s while attending college in Wisconsin, built a self-made empire around simple and easy recipes, and remains one of the 00’s Food Network stars.

  8. Her food recipes were terrible. I think there was a kwanza cake, but maybe it was a fever dream. We called it “mostly store bought with Sandra Lee.” I think she dated cuomo, so maybe that explains the cocktail

    They had to keep that show running for the cocktail recipes, because that food was not it 😂

  10. I want to marry her then go to rehab and then go off the wagon with this woman… TWICE!

    This woman knew one thing and one thing only: how to get you fucked up at any party

    I bet the entire production team was drunk before noon.

    Didn’t she and Anthony Bourdain have mutual disdain for each other? I get why he would, but she really nailed the quick and easy meals/wino mom market.

  14. I have a very soft spot for her lol. I’ll forgive you for the Kimber erasure in your title.

    EDIT my bad I forgot that Sandra is indeed the fun aunt to Kimber’s kids LOL

  15. Ahhhh, Auntie Sandy. May your pours be heavy and your Kwanza cake be overflowing with canned apple pie filling.

    Oh, Aunt Sandy. Those tablescapes were a lot 😬

    Anybody remember Anthony Bourdain writing about her in one of his memoirs? He gave a description of seeing her at a dinner party, and she walked across the room, ran her fingers up his back, and quietly let him know that she did not appreciate how he spoke about her 😂 he sounded quite impressed by how low key terrifying she was.

    This is all fun and games until you end up drinking straight vodka on a Tuesday morning

    Edit: oh she was married to Andrew Cuomo? That explains a lot.
