Had it with the Food Channel...

If you have to make a kitchen purchase? Grab a pizza stone.

I got mine from Pampered Chef and it rocks me! It crisps up the bottom of whatever you are cooking and the pizzas have been spectacular.

My husband and I have managed to break three pizza stones. We gave up and use cushioned cookie sheets. I found out it's probably because I insist on cleaning the things with soap! (slap hand) BAD Maggie, BAD!!!

We're still following this season of Top Chef, and are rooting for Kevin - whom we call "red beard" - his food looks yummy, and not as prissy as some of the other chefs. It's all well and good to do fancy stuff, but at least cook it right and tasty!

I'm still following it, too! I like all the contestants that are now left, but Kevin is an original!
