I really am grateful for all the continued support I have received and not just from your neck of the woods.<BR/><BR/>However, I bear no ill will against anyone making recipes from ATK, CI or CC. I have been tempted to make a few myself.<BR/><BR/>The thing is, I received some private emails from a couple of gals that I have known for quite some time who used to work for those folks. I didn't know that was a part of their employment history, it came out to me privately after the fact. And they basically told me that the PR person is out of her mind. They used to talk about her negatively all the time when they worked there, as many of the ATK/Ci/CC folks still do, around the "halls of the office" as it were.<BR/><BR/>And Kimball is a jerk, yes, and I don't agree with his philosophy. Not at all. But that trio of publications is huge, as is their employee list, and I'm sure many of them are just as loving and passionate and creative about food as I am, as HC is, as most of us are. A bit clueless as to the ideals of their fearless leader maybe, and that doesn't make it right, but they are trying the best they know how to offer wonderful things to us home cooks, without any arrogance of their own, and thus I can value what they have to offer nonetheless.<BR/><BR/>Sorry to let this out here of all places HC, it just seemed appropriate. And seriously, much respect and continued warmest wishes to you LHM. You and my friend Christian Z here where I live have been huge proponents and I love you for it.<BR/><BR/>~MelissaMelissahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12439733116558336290noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32196802.post-30110607596158665902008-11-06T16:16:00.000-05:002008-11-06T16:16:00.000-05:00No :)I can't help it...it wasn't a personal attack...No :)<BR/><BR/>I can't help it...it wasn't a personal attack on your friend...she just set me off :)<BR/><BR/>Hell I get mad when I see him on PBS.

I will never forget the evil he's done. <BR/><BR/>Maybe I do need to forget him.<BR/><BR/>Curse my good memory!<BR/><BR/>UGH!!!!<BR/><BR/>Maybe I need to find something I love about him...his glasses are kind of sexy :) They kind of remind me of SP.

It's better then anything I've ever had out and I love being able to control the ingredients. <BR/><BR/>Blonde Duck - Thank you! Making pizza at home is a lot of fun and tastes SO good.<BR/><BR/>Erica - HEY!!! How the heck are you?? Send me an email, OK? <BR/><BR/>I'm glad you guys are still cooking up a storm. I really liked this pizza and SP was so happy with it he begged me to make it again tomorrow for Pizza Friday. <BR/><BR/>longhair - OK, if you keep ranting like this we're going to start calling you Crazy Longhairman. I know you hate CK and believe me, I was just as worked up about the whole ATK thing as the next person, but it's time to move on now. :) And stop picking on my friends/commenters!Sarah - The Home Cookhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07932762716036801924noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32196802.post-28745142874426698762008-11-06T13:33:00.000-05:002008-11-06T13:33:00.000-05:00Stop the presses!

As with all of his other dishes that are "absolutely the best" "simply marvelous" "out of this world" "far superior to anything I've ever put in my mouth before". After all if you followed his "Absolutely perfect guaranteed to make anyone's mouth water because it's simply marvelously out of this world AND you better make it my way and not even think about adding an extra half of a garlic clove to this recipe and say that it's ours when it really isn't any longer because you had the gall to modify inappropriately mis-credit us as being the source for this slop it and now it can only do one thing and that's suck" dogma of the test kitchen commandments then you're golden :)<BR/><BR/>Melissa this is ALL your fault. :)<BR/><BR/>Am I being ridiculous?
