I saw the promo for Brian Boitono's new program - what a waste of air time -and I love his skating - . what with all the people looking for low carb - heart healthy - low cholesteral - whatever healthy - fun food - how could they do something like that - it is an absolute insult to their viewers and supporters - . I'm not saying that I won't tune in for certain shows - but I have in the last week found several more channels that are offering QUALITY food / cooking programs - Sat, 8 Aug 2009 01:34:49 +0000 http://blog.foodnetwork.com/bobs-blog/2009/08/02/parting-glances/#IDComment30001466 http://blog.foodnetwork.com/bobs-blog/2009/06/15/right-back-at-ya/#IDComment29976979 Bob, Is there anyway that Melissa's show can go back to the Survival idea and only utilize the $10 meals occassionally - The survival idea opens so many more doors for her show and for us the viewers to experience. If you could do that I know it would be much appreciated my many of your viewers. thank you!

Are you sailing this week - can't handle this new format so don't know if you posted or not - Wishing you safe sailing until your next vacation :) Fri, 7 Aug 2009 19:00:44 +0000 http://blog.foodnetwork.com/bobs-blog/2009/08/02/parting-glances/#IDComment29966913 http://blog.foodnetwork.com/bobs-blog/2009/08/02/parting-glances/#IDComment29966618 Kate Jl............... Firstly you might want to use her correct name - it is just courteous Secondly - It's wonderful you think know everything and have no further use to become more educated ---- . my father taught me when I was growing up - that if we learn one new thing every day - and it doesn't matter who teaches us - a child - an adult - whomever - then we become a very wise person otherwise our brains remain atrophied and we are nothing more than morons as it takes constant learning to become educated both in school and in life - . btw my father was an extremely wise and worldly gentleman - well read, well educated and well traveled - and I take great stock in his teachings - Fri, 7 Aug 2009 18:58:57 +0000 http://blog.foodnetwork.com/bobs-blog/2009/08/02/parting-glances/#IDComment29966618 http://blog.foodnetwork.com/bobs-blog/2009/08/02/parting-glances/#IDComment29847948 why am I loosing pages - and posts? last time I was on - I was on page 139 and now I just came back and the last page availabile is 137 - can someone please help many thanks!

Sandra Lee seems to be doing this well already. But if anyone can, based on past performances, Melissa can turn that show into a hit. Then, hopefully, she can expand and be able to create some of her international dishes that she was able to pull out of nowhere on another show. She also seems to have a good sense of nutrition, which never hurts. . With all due respect - Sandra Lee doesn't cook - she opens a package, opens a can - adds it to something fresh and voila - she has a meal - . although Sandra is a graduate of Le Cordon Bleu in Paris - her meals are disgusting - haven't you noticed she rarely gets anything more than a 3 star rating - how great does that make her?
