I have no clue as to why epi has rated Dawn or myself as low as we are.
Who knows why those folks do what they do?
Well.......personally, I think they probably hired a food snob, like a couple I won't mention by name (but you know who I mean - the lawyer turned food critic, and the -ahem - slightly very heavy female) on the Iron Chef American...
These are the folks who are so full of themselves and very, very pretentious...and phony...and really don't know squat about food and MOST DEFINATELY, DO NOT REALIZE what people like, want and need in the culinary realm.
What Epi did not take into consideration was that PEOPLE WANT RELATIONSHIPS...and food is a very relational - and we had that with Gail's and also here. It ISN'T JUST THE RECIPES THAT ATTRACT US. We know a bit about what has happened or is happening with folks here, we know the kitchen failures and successes with various recipes - because here, as with Gail's, people feel safe, they are among friends, and they know for the most part, we can share and not be afraid of being attacked etc.
And also, there are plenty of professionals, if you will, in this group who know food, know food trends, new ingredients etc. and unselfishly share.
If someone new came on Gail's or comes on here, and asks a question, they were/are not treated with sneering contempt.
Oh, sure, Gail's and yes, even here - were/are not perfect. Our humaness does rear its obstinance etc. every so often.
Give me the honesty, and the human-ness, the caring and the sharing of this group and the old Gail's instead of epi's sterile (and often unworkable) format.
Nope, I'm not angry, just disappointed that epi was and remains, short-sided.
as always, dear hearts, consider yourselves hugged.
