You know, that's my new fave Saturday afternoon cooking program. Yesterday
here (Chicago) they had the beer can chicken show and to accompany it they
made a pasta salad. I like the show because first off they tell you how
"most" people make stuff and why it sucks, then go step - by - step to show
you how to make a great dish, in this case a pasta salad with pesto. The
show that followed was about making some Beef Burgundy or whatever in a
crockpot, they started out by showing that many simply dump ingredients in
and you end up with a boiled and oily mess...

I learned something, specifically about how to add pesto to a pasta salad,
and how to thicken crock pot stuff with IIRC tapioca...

Does anyone have their cookbook? I'm considering getting it...
