Kev - I've got tons of Italian cookbooks - and it cracks me up to see some written by Irish authors, etc.

Which ones are your favs, mama? I also have one by Sophia Loren that's quite nice.

Be careful about those Irish authors. Our best Chinese restaurant in town has a Mexican cook. Never can tell anymore.

I guess not having TV in our house, I miss all the drama :)

I used to watch the food network a few years ago and I sort of enjoyed it. I can't remember names of shows, but the only ones I really liked were the ones that showed normal ingredients and normal cooking. If I need to make trips to specialty stores for ingredients, count me out.

I will ditto that statement. I used to watch Rachal Ray a lot since she cooked normal food with usually normal ingredients . . plus she's just cute too. :D
