Another Legend Gone...

I wish we had an icon of a sobbing face!

I loved Dom Deluise and his cookbook "Eat this It'll Make You Feel Better" was one of my very favorites!!!! He had a special talent for entertaining and making folks laugh, and the world needs all the laughs we can possibly get, I will misss this Dom!
 
I have his books - I loved that man! I even have all the movies he was in - and Fatso was one of my all-time favorites - if you haven't seen it - you've missed a good one.
 
I know I’ve seen his face before but I think he might have been before my time. I don’t actually remember him in anything.
 
You'd love his cookbooks! Just the stories he writes in "Eat This....." are neat and just great reading! Ilove jovial happy folks and believe me Dom really fit that description!!!
 
From the description I read on Amazon about the recipes they are exactly my kind of books.
 
I don't have any of his books either- but I saw 3 at Amazon... Cathy? Mama? If a guy gets only one of them- which do u recommend?
 
From what I read Kev the last book he put out in 2007 (I think) was a reprint of the first one. I think it is a cheaper paperbook version of the first one.
 
I love them all - I can't say - the original of course is what made me buy more - and I am not sorry. I even have him on old VHS tapes cooking! I loved that man.
 
He was indeed a treasure, mama!

Loving Dolly P. like I do- I'm partial to his role in "The Best L'il Whorehouse in Texas", but I liked him in everything I ever saw him in!
 
OH yeah I loved that movie, When I was a teenager I had the sound track to that move. "well I'll be fine and dandy, lord it's like another hard candy Christmas...."
 
Thanks Cath and Mama- I'll have to find a used copy and get it ordered!

jfain... yep, that Dolly tune is awesome! Of course her tear-jerker version of 'I Will Always Love You' at the movie's end is wonderful, too! I've just always loved Dolly! I like her old-time 60's/70's country- and the 3-4 bluegrass cd's she did ten years ago...
 
I'm not really into country music very much but I have always liked Dolly. She seems to do her own thing. She did this song ages ago. I don't remember the name of the song but in the chorus part of it is "wild flowers don't care where they grow" I love that sone.
 
That is a good'un too, jfain. It's 'Wildflowers' from her "Trio" cd that she recorded w/ Linda Ronstadt & Emmylou Harris. There was also a "Trio Two" cd.

Of all Dolly's songs I believe my favorite is where she sings "I Was Country When Country Wasn't Cool" !!!!

There is another song along those lines that I adore by John Conlee called "I'm Just A Common Man" they both are songs about just being yourself!!!!

Janie thanks for the great recipes!!!!
