SC - trial by fire

[THL Caitlin Ruadh]

Ready Set Cook on The Food Network does the same basic thing - 2 contestants
(husband and wife, friends, whatever) get a limited budget to go to a normal
store and each get to bring a pile of ingredients to the pro cooks, who then
work with those and the staples to make a meal in less then 19 (I think)
minutes total.  The contestants have to help, even if it's just prepping
stuff.  It's a lot of fun to watch (and proves that dinner doesn't HAVE to
take 45 minutes to make).
