All I want is his house, and the kitchen equipment!

I love the BC's ideas, but she's another for whom low fat, or even reasonable fat, means nothing. Fat is flavor, I know, I know..... Paula and her two sons make me nuts. Admire her pluck, but some of those recipes, Oy Vey!

I, for one, love Batali, but I confess, I've never cooked a thing from his one cookbook I own. I have far too many Italian cookbooks, anyway.

I'm all for road trips and road trips geared to food. I appreciate the tips, but too many shows on the road. I want to experience them myself, not sitting in front of the tube like a secret food voyeur.
