If this has been mentioned, excuse my duplication: Mario was a guest
on Martha's show this week, and explained (in answer to her question)

He is doing a series where he and Gwyneth (?? - daughter or wife?) are
traveling and eating their way through Spain, and it will air on PBS

I feel lucky to see new Mario programs, but unlucky in that I will not be
able to see him in food lessons and preparation.

Hopefully it will not be a la Floyd preparation out in plein air. Although
I'd settle for that.

Thanks for the update.

PS I'm sorry that I missed the program, but after seeing Martha do a cooking
segment with Chevy Chase, she has been gone forever from my thoughts.
Pufffoooot! Her zip has gone and went .... Must've been that knitting in
prison that slowed her down -- or was it that someone knitted a shaw for
her, or gave her a pattern, or promoted it -- oh,well, not important ...

I saw Martha with Meredith Viera on the "Today" show the other day.

Martha was demonstrating how to decorate ginger cookies to be used to
decorate and place along the tall sides of a fancy ginger cake.

Meredith used her icing bag to make an outline, and though it was
nice, it wasn't perfect. The dialog went something like this - I don't
have it anywhere near word-for-word, but you'll get the gist of it.

Meredith: Oops, I guess it doesn't have to be prefect.

Martha: Of course it has to be prefect.

Meredith: Well, here, I 'll just put it on the cake.

Martha: No! You can't put that on the cake.

Meredith: What do I do with it?

Martha: Eat it.

Meredith: You eat it, Martha.

I howled.

Meredith Vierra just cracks me up. She's so quick and she'll
say anything that crosses her mind.

Its pretty obvious that the Food Network wants nothing to do with the
idea of learning about or preparing real food.

Food Network is dead to me. They've replaced all the chefs with pretty
faces that don't know jack about the dish they're making, and most of it
is just re-hashed off the shelf stuff.

I like her, too. She is quite down-to-earth, yet very smart and
downright belly-laugh funny at times.

Gwyneth is evidently Gwyneth Paltrow, and they are taking another
couple of people along, too. Paltrow is fluent in Spanish.

They're traveling in several Mercedes automobiles. USA Today has an
article.

I like Martha's show. She is a lot more laid-back than she used to
be, and seems to be enjoying herself more. When things get out of
control (the doggy fashion show yesterday), she even is good-natured
about it.

OTOH, when an audience member asked how to get discolorations off
cookware like LeCreuset, she said not to worry about it if it didn't
come off. Actually, she said, "So what?" That's a big change from
the Old Martha.

It will be dull to me by the very fact that it is Gwyneth Paltrow, one of
the biggest name-droppers and full-of-herself persons I've ever seen on any
of the talk shows.
I guess to some people she is angelic, so it oughta fly.

I like Nathalie Dupree from afar. She's the messiest, most disheveled
cook I've seen! She had a few years where she was looking a bit
overly-medicated or something...? But she's sharp, no denying.

I got a big kick out of her, also, but other than Julia, the one I
miss the most is Madeleine Kamen.

Pancetta. He made mac and cheese "carbonara". Considering that he
seldom wins, it's not too much of a cop-out.

KEWL! However, I'd bet Martha is following a script when she has
guests. So, if the script is wrong - then she is wrong if she
corrects them (I often wonder if anyone actually *thinks* on screen).

You've got to be kidding! He won one? I thought the whole premise of the
show was that he was always thrown down. I'll have to get that one out and
take a look.

Dah yam! Bobby will be under investigation and get his iron chef credentials
taken away. Better get to watching him before he is kicked out. I never
knew that Bobby would actually cheat over a macaroni and cheese!

I don't consider it cheating. We often put meat in the mac & cheese. Not a
purist thing, but a good meal. He also used different cheeses and it did
look good.

I hope you realize it was 'tongue in cheek' on my part again. I'm starting
to feel that I'm misunderstood ;-))
IMO, I think Bobby Flay deserves his Iron Chef designation, although I feel
there are many others that don't.

He's won a handful. Ones I can think of off the top of my head,
chowder, crab cakes, mixed drinks, burgers, mac and cheese. Generally
