That was like my favorite show in college until I left for my student exchange in 1992, then when I returned in 1993, the show was off the air.

RIP Frugal Gourmet.... I learned so much about cooking food from China, Greece and Rome.

Maybe we could put the FG on the ten dollar bill? Just a thought!

P.S. I have a signed cookbook from him that my dad got for donating to PBS!!

And, yes, I'd like cream with that.

He was tried convicted and sentenced by the media. Pretty typical anymore. Even if he was totally innocent he would be guilt in the eyes of many.

I really hate prolonging the "debate," but this really says it all:

Smith...was never charged with a crime. He and his insurance companies paid an undisclosed sum to settle the lawsuit.

Funny how he was never accused by anyone until he became successful enough to have insurance companies pay to have a lawsuit dropped.

If I were abused, I wouldn't drop a lawsuit for money.
