Try some cheese & nutmeg. I've never eat or seen creamed spinach without cheese or some sort of flour to thicken it, like a bechamel sauce. This should actully be called, "SPINACH IN CREAM."

So this is a savory fritter with pumpkin? Okay well I've got a can of pumpkin that's not earmarked for pie and I'm going to give these a try this week.

I'll give a review when I've cooked them.

I'm a Tony fan, I have Kitchen Confidential and His, Les Halles cookbook. Tony is a ass, he knows he's one, you and I know he's one--so why so surprised he mentioned R.R? I cook from scratch too, always have even as a single mom.

Personally I think pre-chopped onions or diced garlic taste odd, ...and odd is not good flavor. They put preservatives on those things and they alter the flavor.

Tony is a classically trained chef so he expects his peers or people who impersonate his peers to cut up the onion all by themselves. Simple as that. He's not going to rag the home cook, with kids underfoot. Okay he might...but he's going for the jugular on some of these tvcooks.

Pony, try cooking somethings on the weekend like a chicken or roasting some vegtables for a dish you'll use later on, so that you can cook more easily on the weekdays. I'm sorry but I'm having a hard time getting past that your husband "INSIST" at a 7 p.m. meal. I say tell him to help, and it would be easier on you.

Loved the interview, albeit small. It was nice to hear his take on Jeffrey. Sometimes while watching the banter between Jeffrey and the other judges I squirm at the obvious tension and what appears to be a desire to lean over and slap him across the face. It’s like a train wreck, I mean I want to change the channel …. But, then I might miss the cat fight if I do.

Lastly I love A.B & Good Eats, I’ve been a fan from the start, I even have the salt cellar to prove it….looking forward to many more years from your show.

lunapiercook, i am all agog. what a photo!

@renzata, I'd never heard of one with Ramsay, and can't find any such thing via Google Images either. Are you sure it was him and not someone else?

Mario is orange-hot; sigh: I also have had "the dream"...He has that lusty, super-smart, Chaucer-esque thing going on which is pretty hard to resist. Yes, Tony Bourdain fantasies are awfully cheap-per-pound these days, but sheesh, they're awfully good too. He's whip-smart AND whippet-thin, but it just makes a girl want to feed him, and some other, non-seriouseatsian things as well (but forewarned is fairwarned, all I write about is meat, chefs, irony & coitus):

I think you're okay until you start having tandem Bourdain/Ruhlman dreams. Then it's time to seek professional help. But a nocturnal drizzle of Mario?--perfectly normal.

Somebody, give that poor man a meal!

I must admit... I'm with those who just don't "get" the getting hot over watching somebody if there isn't a context. For me, the physical beauty is lacking if there's nothing substantive to go with it. So, even if they have a cute or charming personality, it's a challenge to get me "fascinated" if I don't actually know them up close and in person. I do definitely enjoy eye candy (boy... do I ever), but without knowing 'em firsthand, I just don't actually get "hot" for 'em... Does that make sense? I know... I'm weird...
((eyeroll))

@frederika... wow, you piqued my curiosity like none of these others with the Last Supper reference... and I don't even find Tony all that special (no offense)... please post a link... or send me an email with a scanned image! I've just gotta see what got you going!
