I love my cable television, especially the food channel.
My favorite cook is Ina Garten, aka The Barefoot Contessa.
The Contessa’s food and recipes are really yummy, but there’s another reason I like her show.
The Barefoot Contessa enjoys her food; like me, she’s a woman of substance.
Also, viewers see the Contessa serving her creations to friends and family members in her home (at least I think it’s her home).
Flowers are everywhere, and the sun always seems to be shining.
So, like any deranged fan worth his/her salt, I’m saving up to buy a signed Barefoot Contessa Cookbook.

Just read!
I don’t know if I have ever seen her since I dont get cable. I think I love cookbooks the best I have so many there are in boxes now. Shame on me.. I never get to cook enough from them now. : (

I really like her, Caroldee. I watched her make a 3-layer chocolate cake on Monday. Very yummy looking! She’s not a low fat cooker, not really, but she’s trying

Of course I don’t have to tell you to check online for her books on the cheap but I think I saw her cookbooks at Costco…and of course Third Place Books. I also have several cookbooks and love to cook – see? more separation at birth. All in moderation my dear..broiled fish with salad one night 3 layer cake the next – snort. Actually the deal is make what you like and either give half away or freeze it. I make my carrot cake in 6 small bundletts and freeze half.

Yeah, I live for the cake nights, Fran
Half-price books has a lot of good cookbooks, and I’ll give it a try!
