Thanks for posting this, Meryl. She is an interesting person, unemployed person! Life after work!

Yeah!

I wonder what's happened to the other food editors (besides Ruth, of course). Many of them gave

decades to that magazine, and I always looked forward to Paul Grimes's recipes.

FoodTV...

Pretty sad to see the FoodTV go downhill from what it used to be many years ago. The best chefs/cooks/shows are gone.

now it's mostly competition. I don't "get" it.

Neither do I! It's so grade "D."

But, actually I do get it from the network's standpoint - all they care about is entertainment, ie,

high viewership/high ratings. Only a minority of viewers want to learn how to cook/bake - most just want to be "entertained."
