Whoa...wait a minute! I'm gonna need the recipe for those biscuits.

I think you kind of come across as a douche, really. There, I said it. I mean, if this is what leaves you guys "flabbergasted", what do you do in the event of an actual crisis?

First and foremost, make sure you are using a cast iron skillet. Everything else is subjective.

Spread it on your pizza dough before baking instead of traditional tomato-based pizza sauce. Top with mushrooms, black olives, a little (very little) mozarella to bind it together.

"I eat your pesto pizza! I eat it up!"
(see, I got your reference, there)

McRib?

Another Foodnetwork classic example of putting people in front of the camera who think they are entertainers instead of teachers. What I have learned lately is that some home "chefs" have graduated from this level of questionable education and move on. There are so many good cooking shows on PBS (and a few on FoodNW). We need only point our remote control at our TV and move on to what pleases us.

I think it's fair to say that all sides have had ample opportunity to express their opinions on this matter, so we're going to close the thread.

(in another thread where he was busy attacking people)

Simon said -- As for you, FastFoodCritic, stick a sock in it. I find the admonishments of a passive aggressive spineless weasel such as yourself, someone who takes pride in touting their affinity for eating garbage no less, to be laughable.
----------------------------------------------

I did not see that comment until NOW, when somebody emailed me about it. Adam closed the thread because it got ugly between Simon and a couple other people. That was of course the right thing to do.

HOWEVER -- I never got a chance to defend myself, and considering I was just trying to be a nice guy, and was coming to the defense of a lady who Simon was needlessly insulting in that thread, I feel I deserve a chance to say SOMETHING.

And it's simply THIS -- Dear Simon, it's quite odd to hear you call me a "spineless weasel" since you don't know me in real life. My name and website is public, but I see you choose to be anonymous. Let me personally invite you step forward like a man, and identify yourself. Otherwise, let me invite you shut your mouth and quit attacking people in this community.

Coward. You would never say a word to my face.

BITTER: you can still get charles chips in a tin!

Back when Giada first came on, my then 21 year old college son told me it was "soft porn" and that he never missed it. His affection for Giada turned into a genuine love of cooking. She was never trashy or overtly sexual: the camera work and the pace of the show made it sensual.
