Hey KYHeirloomer, I'm cool with you (and others not liking Alton) and understand he isn't everyone's cup o' tea There are plenty of Food Net people that I loathe... to each his/her own.

So the problem is that Food Network called the recipe thousand island and Alton actually didn't... we need to have a talk with them


BTW, I learned about Mise from Alton. :eek:

>There are plenty of Food Net people that I loathe<

Oh, yeah! If we started to list them we'd be at it the rest of the night, I reckon.

KYH is defintiely correct about thread topic-ing here, mise!

Sure there's a casual loose frame of guidleines as far as where to post what- (see the drop-menu at bottom of each page entitled 'forum-jump') but they're more a compass to go by- rather than a map.

For instance- one wacko thread gone awry that we're all enjoying the helll out of right now is called 'volcanoes'- which is where the conversation started- and has now evolved to talk of Sasquatch and being abducted by aliens! What does any of this have to do with food and cooking- u may ask? Well, give us a minute... we're gonna bring it all full circle before too much longer!

Also- we realize you like Alton- totally cool. But don't get your feelings hurt when one of us knocks someone or something you dig. Like I said in an earlier post- ain't no big thang. Elsewhere in other forums folks are harassed and ridiculed for their personal preferences... but here the most one endures is some gentle ribbing. I love me some Paula Deen for khris-sakes! If I can deal with all the elbowing I get for feeling drawn to her- you can certainly deal with jabs about Mr. Bown! Hee-Hee! The truth is, we're all reached in a different manner by various components to one's character. My all time fav food personality ever is Diva/Dame/Goddess/HRM/Mrs. Julia Child... so how can I at the same time dig Paula Deen? Who the helll knows? But I ain't got time to explore why. See what I mean?

So c'mon in- the water's fine! And though there are sharks-aplenty, even in the shallow end- their teeth for the most part tend to be filed-down!

It'll probably come full circle, Chubbs, with a discussion as to whether alien abductees are better roasted, poached, or stir-fried with some ginger and daikon.

KYH,

I enjoy my alien abductees just like I like a yappy l'il foo-foo dawg... in cream-gravy on TOAST!
