Budget Living No More

According to Business Week, Budget Living Magazine closed its doors on Valentine's Day. Perhaps that is why I haven't gotten an issue from them in a while...

Upcoming Cookbook Signings in Washington

Via the Sur La Table website, both David Lieberman and Martha Stewart will be doing book signings of their latest cookbooks on different days. David will also be making appearances at other Sur La Table stores in the coming weeks. I don't live in Washington, but thought I would post this anyway for those that do.

Real Simple TV revisted

Back in mid-November 2005 you may recall that I blogged about a new show on PBS called Real Simple. Well, now that it's been on for a couple of weeks, I thought I should blog about it again. A series recap thus far. The show is hosted by three co-hosts/actors with somewhat varied acting backgrounds. Rob Keefe is my favorite of the three so far, though none of the three is what I would have envisioned as hosts of a tv show put out by Real Simple Magazine.

The show itself reminds me a lot of the original Martha Stewart daily show with the annoying soft focus camera shots and the 30 minute show is like having a show dedicated just to Martha's 'Good Things.' Hey, now there's a show for you Martha, 'Good Things.' Hmmm... Anyway, Real Simple the show has some potential to move on to one of the main networks (NBC, ABC or CBS); especially if they lose that fuzzy soft focus lens! Just kidding. Anyone else catch the show and if so, what'd ya' think?
