Ah Giada de Laurentiis. How you confound me. You’re pretty, engaging, and just perky enough without being obnoxious, unlike that twit Rachel Ray (yummo = gag me). I’ve tried your recipes with spotty success. (You’re the queen of polenta but your sticky bechamel could be used as grout.) I like you. I just don’t trust you. You seem hellbent on world domination, albeit with a wink, smile, and plate of delicious biscotti in hand. Now comes word that you’ve launched a line of olive oils, balsamic vinegars, sea salts, and Tuscan herb mixes through Crate & Barrel. Fine. Resistance is futile. I give. But could you ask your Sicilian “friends” to do something about Ms. Ray while you’re at it? Thanks.
