“Some baked-in-a-skillet pasta and cheese dish from Giada. It looked good and had many of my favorite ingredients, so I went to the FN website and printed off her recipe. I shopped carefully for the ingredients, which IIRC, involved 3 or 4 different types of cheese. One was fontina… a first for us. I followed the recipe to the letter, proudly upended onto a large round plate and cut wedge-size servings, just like Giada. Ooooh! Pretty! How did it taste? Like chewing on a salt-lick. Threw that recipe away.”

“I don’t remember the actual recipe, But it was definitely a chicken stir fry inspired by Martin Yan(Yan can cook!). It was pretty much a failure because I didn’t know how crappy Electric burners were going to be on my ward sale wok. He tossed his chicken for like 4 minutes, so I did likewise, and after dish assembly I had to microwave it to kill all the nasty salmonellas in my theretofore raw chicken.”
