I have taken to reading (and commenting on) various cooking blogs. Chatty
Cathy, this might be a survey for you. Some of which I find very
frustrating. I found one via a link from a very good blog, called Cooking
With Anne, and it was a big disappointment. The title was Cookbook Junkie,
and the little hairs on the back of my neck stood up........ah, I says to
myself, just like Chris Dabney, there are more such addicted souls like she
and I who find the need to purchase and own a cookbook to be slightly
overwhelming and somehow euphoric in nature. What do I get, some schlub who
says 'I own cookbooks and here are some of the recipes I just copied
directly out of the book"...no explanation, no mention of HOW MANY (beotch
probably owns 10 and thinks herself a grand master) and definitely not how
she is motivated. Feh, I say. Are there other's out there who are
disappointed in similar fashion?

Now to the second musing: A week or so ago, a little old lady came home to
find herself being burgled. She picked up a cooking pot and waffled the kid
with it, knocking him down, when he tried to get up, she waffled him again
(don't F with little old ladies with a a major **** off and cookware, you
will not win). The cops came, took the kids away and the local television
station came to interview her. She showed her 'swing' and lo and behold, it
was an Emerilware pot she laid him out with. My question is this: Should
Emeril capitalize on this......not only good for cooking but wacking the
local hoodlums as well? Think of the free press this gave him.......your
thoughts.
