You should try doing the Cheat's Pasta with Cherry Tomatoes (I really like adding an onion at the same time as the garlic) and the Macaroni and Cauliflower Cheese Bake. Oh yes, can't forget the Chicken Fajitas.<br /><br />I never did get to see this series on TV though.Elenahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08961035078725474747noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18884029.post-40105256964907868842011-11-15T04:59:18.829+11:002011-11-15T04:59:18.829+11:00Fun post, Marg.

LOL! <br /><br />Peppermint, PhD--YES! I noticed that too and was like, "oh, oh! no! Wait! WASH YOUR HANDS! ewwww..." He went from handling raw chicken to holding the entire wedge of parmesan cheese in his hand without washing! I'm hoping there was expert editing going on there and we missed the break in the video when the camera stopped rolling so he could wash his hands?Christinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00420773211895134710noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18884029.post-16542634033507571682011-11-14T12:32:27.641+11:002011-11-14T12:32:27.641+11:00I agree-Jamie has evolved into a very interesting ...I agree-Jamie has evolved into a very interesting person and I would love to have lunch with him just to talk food.Peaceful Readerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10265198438524420667noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18884029.post-68537504517317765932011-11-14T07:38:44.007+11:002011-11-14T07:38:44.007+11:00Oliver shows up in news stories here fairly often ...Oliver shows up in news stories here fairly often due to his crusade for more healthful school food.

I have seen one or two of the shows he's done for national t.v.

While I liked his recipes from his early show, I didn't really like him. But since he has decided to use his name and fame to bring the message of good health and good food to the world, I've grown to respect him. I really, really need to get a hold of some of his newer cookbooks.<br /><br />Thanks for the links and the video.Beth Fhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08627666337961326265noreply@blogger.com
