Letter To The Editor of a Future Newspaper   I know your paper doesn’t quite exist yet, but I’ve heard some of the hype and, as an intuitive person, feel compelled to rebut some of the points you asserted in a future article. I haven’t read it yet, because it doesn’t exist, but I am absolutely certain you’ll be parroting the typical kind of hogwash people of your ilk are inclined to. Well, I say, just go ahead and babble on incoherently. We know your kind and we have the means to deal with you, so just SHUT UP already! Do you hear me? Or are you a moron, a retard? Or what?   Best,   “Pat Riot”   3:45:19 AM    comment []

If you subscribe to Cook’s Illustrated, you’ve probably already received your free copy of Cook’s Country. The first thing you noticed was probably its size – so large that I had to merge two scans and still didn’t get the bottom (good enough for the blog). You’ll notice that it has Christopher Kimball all over it, just like its Illustrated brother. You’ll wonder how a premiere issue can have letters to the editor and reader recipes. And you’ll wonder why Mr. Kimball chose to go glossy and slick, color photos instead of lithographs, in remarkable contrast to his other magazine.   My guess is that he realizes that shtick and slick sell, much as he knows that alternating milk and flour when making a German chocolate cake makes a better batter. He might also hear some footsteps behind him as Cuisine at home, filled with color photos and an approach remarkably similar to Cook’s Illustrated, begins to compete for shelf space at the registers of trendy food markets.   Whatever, I’ll subscribe to it because I am a foodie magazine junkie.   1:13:48 AM    comment []
