When the rot set in, I was hopeful the producers would see their error and go back to the previous format. No such luck--it just got worse, to the point that I stopped watching altogether. BUT, I found an alternative! PBS! They don't have many shows, but the ones they have are Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6510795.post-7313139215098275402009-01-15T09:29:00.000-06:002009-01-15T09:29:00.000-06:00I might have to get that DVD!

I LOVED it. In fact, I was obsessed with it. Watched each episode twice before I deleted it off my DVR. For those of you who missed: episodes start with Jamie out in his massive garden in the gorgeous English countryside. He grows everything - chiles, leafy greens, fruits, root vegetables... He gathers the day's KCNapkins Guyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11947314358350041289noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6510795.post-31780784626313014022009-01-11T22:01:00.000-06:002009-01-11T22:01:00.000-06:00I agree, food network has gone to crap.

I am not sure if they air the show in the States though?Danhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07743102355360873845noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6510795.post-21991159908099291932009-01-11T15:54:00.000-06:002009-01-11T15:54:00.000-06:00Dear me...

But when you're trying to eat seasonally and locally it just doesn't help to see delicious recipes that you can't make. <BR/><BR/>Mr Chiots and I cancelled our cable a year and half ago and I haven't even missed a thing. I would highly recommend going sans cable to anyone!Chiot's Runhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05086153621579437021noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6510795.post-61062901125339669692009-01-09T09:42:00.000-06:002009-01-09T09:42:00.000-06:00LOL.
