It seemed like Dale was progressively losing his cool over during the last 3 or so episodes, making it harder for him to work with the more obnoxious contestants. I don't think he deserved to go, ...

when my current box grater meets its maker I'll definitely go for this one - I realize this could be a long time from now.

I love the Bread Baker's Apprentice and have had a lot of good results, the new whole grain one is great too. Also, I have the Laurel's Kitchen Bread Book (Laurel Robertson et al) an...

mmmm. i wonder if this is possible with veggie bacon... I'll have to put that on my list to test out.

this is truly amazing. now if we can just figure out how to make them vegan, and haman hat-shaped...

Bierkraft - lots of good beer and good cheese too (as well as all sorts of other treats).
