‘Cept you should come up with a new, macheesmo name for it- cause I’m not copying and pasting that stupid, nine word thing again. That sucka is Long-

But you know RR- finding new and more annoying ways to talk a whole bunch without really saying anything. Hey- believe me- after all the RR I’ve watched, I can agree- her. voice. is. friggin. annoying.

Also- this might sound ghetto, but if you make it- don’t use stainless steel! Use a nonstick pan- a big one, and if the handle is plastic or not oven safe, wrap it with double aluminum foil when you stick it in the oven. That’s the only way you’ll get it out in one piece, and so flawless looking- I dunno how food beard guy did it w/ stainless- maybe there’s magic in the beard. Who knows…

The photos definitely help and thanks for the link to the Pasttata. I love the food in my beard… maybe because I have a beard?

For some reason RR does cause some debate and I think it is because at the end of the day her recipes are really good. Some people, myself included, just can’t get past certain traits.

Expect a Macheesmo Carbonara Deep-dish pasta-crusted pan pizza in the very near future…

I like your site, been following it for about 3 months now and I really dig your Cookbook reviews. But here’s the deal- and don’t mistake my tone as berating- cause I swear it’s not- Carbonara Deep-Dish Pasta-Crusted Pan Pizza is THE BOMB. And if you- or any of RR’s many, extremely vocal haters out there ever actually watched her first foodnetwork show,(30 minute meals) these recipes wouldn’t sound so unfamiliar or OMFG-what-the-heck-does-this-look-like?- because she’s made a whole bunch of them right in front of those of us who can GET PAST her annoying voice, and her need to talk incessantly.

So I said all that to say this- I guess your review of her book didn’t suprise me- nice sounding recipes, just too many of them, and not enough pictures. Which just reiterates why all of these so called foodies or whatev get their panties in a wad when anyone praises RR- cause yeah, she’s not a trained chef, yeah she talks way too much, but along with all that- YEAH, SHE CAN COOK HER ASS OFF. So sorry that she isn’t as sexy as Nigella, as polished as Giada or as schooled as Alton or Mario- but hey- in the end, any complaints about her character can just be chunked into the petty BS bin. I’ve watched her cook it, I, myself have cooked it, and let me tell you a secret, my friend, Carbonara Deep-Dish Pasta-Crusted Pan Pizza is very very good. That being said- I’m sure you know I’m not just bemoaning this one recipe; there are so many more of her’s that are equally unappreciated and/or unknown because nobody is willing to cut her some slack. I just got excited when I saw you mention that one, cause it’s one of my all time fav’s. You should make it, and post it!! You would be my personal hero!!

Once again- sorry if I sound like a beeyotch- I swear I’m really not- and I love your site. Macheesmo!!!
