A&E's season premiere of Duck Dynasty last week garnered 11.8 million viewers. The big ratings beat out the previous record holder for reality T.V., Jon and Kate Plus 8, whose episode announcing the couple's split that aired in June 2009 hit 10.8 viewers. That goose is cooked. The successful show about a family who makes duck callers and other equipment for duck hunters has also earned its stars a raise, at more than $200,000 an episode for the family according to most reports.
A&E tonight will repeat the Duck episode that now reigns supreme, as well as a new episode. Check local listings. The episode can also be seen online for free on A&E's web site.

«Oldest ‹Older 601 – 800 of 875 Newer› Newest»I see others have noticed what I did in the cookbook excerpts. Printed text says one thing, pictures say another, plus what she has twitted and blogged previously. Here's some that were glaring to me.
The juice box reference about buying only when on sale dirt cheap, using refillable juice containers or diluted juice in a reusable water bottle. Yet a bottle of juicy juice in one lunch and 2 drink boxes in the other, both are sugar filled and expensive purchases, even on sale, when packing lunch daily for 8.
Buying a large bag of 'crunchies' chips, snacks, etc. and splitting for cost savings, yet in one picture picture is a prepackaged bag of chips, granola bars and a snack box of something, not sure what. She's a baker, or so she proclaims, make your own granola & bars, that way no preservatives and you can control what ingredients are in them.
Seeing lots of baggies, zip lock bags, saran wrap, very few re-usable containers which would assist in cost savings. You have two dishwashers, use them.
I'm sorry, but Cara's Sausage & Bean Bake sounds disgusting. The picture is also immediately off-putting with the grease pooling on top. I'd love to know the nutritional values on that and many of her other recipes. A lot of those recipes do not lend themselves to the organic, healthy eating and lifestyle she tries to portray and project! Like junk food or fast food, these high fat, carb and salt dishes are okay once in while, comfort food and all that, but not on a normal basis.
The movie 'night' picture with the sunlight streaming thru the windows, everyone in pjs and everyone lined up on the tape on the floor. How comfy would that be for movie night? We always were draped over the sofa or lying on the floor with pillows and blankets. We had large floor pillows that were sooooo comfy. My sister first made one in home ec class and then my mother made a few more.
It's also pretty sad if your 12 year old has better grammar and punctuation than you do. Cara proof-read the book?
I think with self- publishing you are responsible for your own editing or pay to have them do it.
Kris, I think Kate mislead by mentioning "Deanna's man". Uncle Steve IS Steve Neild. C'mon. Pizza man?
Read the acknowledgements at the book's beginning. Kate in no way prepared that food. You can easily tell which photos are hers and which are professionally prepared and photographed.
Could it be that TFW controls the dinner conversation because the kids are discussing their reality? Their lives are no longer about the "love" for the crew, the filming, the trips, the perks, it's about school and friends, and whatever other everyday thing might interest them. Listening to them describe ordinary experiences must be a punishing reminder to Kate of just how fleeting fame is. Personally, I think she wants them talking about the "good old days" when they were all the darlings of the viewing public. I don't think she wants to hear them embrace normality, she wants them supporting her "lightning striking twice" theory. If they were brainstorming ways to get back on television, I bet she would allow them freedom of speech at the dinner table!
Every day is another day further away from what was, the kids know this, but TFW doesn't want to hear it described in 8 very different ways over dinner.
I googled Kate Gosselin and nothing comes up close about her crookbook, or her coupon site.
I then googled " Kate Gosselin Coupon site" and nothing comes up about it.
I googled "coupon site" and hers doesnt come up.
So, unless you follow her on twitter, there is not much of a chance you know she has a site or a crookbook coming out.
hmmmm, this doesnt look like a lightening stike....more like a firefly, but waaayyyyy smaller.
Yikes, someone at HCI actually edited Kate's book? With all those run-on sentences, missed and misplaced commas, verb tense issues, and awkward sentence structures? I saw four conjunctions, four commas, and a set of em dashes in ONE sentence. ("You might have a run-on sentence if...")
8888888888888888
Not to mention subject-verb agreement. She has no idea that a singular subject (such as "each"), even if it is followed by a prepositional phrase that contains a plural noun, takes a singular verb.
Why wasn't this proofed?

My hairdresser gives me lightening strikes, or streaks, actually. I get struck with those every 6 weeks or so.
Gonna get really lucky one of these times!
btw... the 1960's bomb shelter comment was too funny! Yesterday, I pulled out some old cookbooks, Crock Pot cookbooks, Jello recipes and a little Lipton Soup Mix pamphlet.
There were some good gems in there, and some, well, oldies but not goodies that have generally been long retired.

I'd love for someone to ask the author of "Eat This, Not That" :
http://www.amazon.com/David-Zinczenko/e/B001ILKBL8/ref=sr_ntt_srch_lnk_3?qid=1377377959&sr=8-3
to critique the recipes in LIITM, and do an expose on this book written by a woman who has been beating the healthy, organic, home made is healthier drum for years.
He exposes chain restaurant dishes for years and Kate's book needs to be exposed for what it really is.

I think the photo of the gemelli pasta dish is not the boxed mac and cheese, tuna and peas slop that Kate has decided to insult her readers with.

-------------------
There are many boxed Mac & Cheese dinners that use white cheddar cheese. Annie's brand is one that I use. Not all Mac & Cheese is necessarily orange.
Oh wait, there is a picture of the mac n cheese, tuna and peas. Looks about as good as you'd expect. The mac and cheese may be using white powdered cheese vs. orange, but again, there's not agreement with the recipe.
The photo obviously has cracked pepper and shredded cheese added and melting on top, and her recipe doesn't call for it. Plus, some chunks of tuna on top are showing signs of drying out from sitting around for so long during the photo shoot.

Wouldn't it be cheaper (and easier) to buy Tuna Helper for 1.29 a box at Walmart, two large cans of tuna on sale for $1.39 a can, and some frozen peas? Whole meal would cost about $6.50 and wouldn't be swimming in grease.
I hate to admit this, but Kraft Mac & Cheese is my all time favorite. If I'm home alone I've been known to make all of the cheese sauce (1/4 cup each real butter and whole milk simmered in small pot on stovetop) and only part of the box of macaronni and call it macaronni soup. Not snarking on TFW here, absolutely true!
Kate's all about the short game-- not a follow through, get your hands dirty kind of gal.
Her job is to mastermind masterpieces.
&&&
Oddly, her personality is sort of like a creative, flighty spirit. Some of the greatest ideas come from these types of people. Some of the worst too.
She's the type of person who stares up at the sky and then a scathingly brilliant idea comes to mind Hailey Mills like, and by the end of the day, she's set it up and gotten it going. There is no sort of deep breath, relax and really think an idea through before jumping right in there. In many ways, they aren't afraid or embarrassed to fail nor are they afraid of a bad idea. They just go with what's flowing. I think most of the time this leads to disaster, but a few good ones get through.
The problem is for more grounded people who aren't comfortable living this way, there is going to be a lot of incompatibility there. Think about being in a relationship with someone like this and how exhausting it would be if you aren't the same way. And for people who would really just prefer to have a steady paycheck they can count on, this personality won't work.
By the way does TFW specify whether her concoction of Kraft macaroni is to be served hot or cold?
"Typically" tuna pastas are cold aren't they? There are a couple tuna salad pasta recipes served iced cold that I LOVE in the summer, but it's been years. Church potluck stuff, I recall celery, tuna and elbow macaroni. Probably mayo. Serve that next to a hotdog or hamburger and there's my childhood right there.
. And for people who would really just prefer to have a steady paycheck they can count on, this personality won't work.
******
Reminds me of a couple we know. Husband was a friend and cohort in business school, and is a real entrepreneur and start up guy. Doesn't want to be poking his head out of his gopher hole all day.
After he and his wife had a kid, she thought he's tow a company line. After their second child, she kinda thought about being a SAHM for a while and take a break from teaching. Oh, if only her husband would put his dreams on the back burner for a few years and settle for a steady paycheck....
Yeah, they seemed to have a bit of tension between them!

Good grief...those must be some thirsty kids. I hope she uses coupons for bottled water.
When I made the Stir Fry, we were guzzling water quite a bit! Here in this neck of the woods, we do tend to use an abundance of salt and we're used to it, but I couldn't get over how salty this was. That aside, it wasn't bad. Of course. that's like saying, "Other than that, Mrs. Lincoln, how did you enjoy the play?"

No shame in having a comforting favorite! I came across a coupon for that cheese-- one of the 3 new flavors (hello? Buffalo Cheddar!), but couldn't find them. I'll keep looking.
I tend to "treat" myself to the Lean Cuisine-type varieties of mac n cheese when I want to scratch that itch without the guilt. But the box really hits it.
Sorry, but IMO Kate and "scathingly brilliant" is an oxymoron of the first order.
There's cold tuna pasta salad and then there's tuna casserole. I think Kate's "recipe" is the latter.
The thing is, by the time you make (much cheaper) elbow macaroni (get water to boiling, cook pasta, drain), you can throw together the sauce.
Easy peasy, lemon squeezy.
Maybe TFW cleans her drawers while her kit's pasta cooks.
Is the recipe for Mac & cheese posted in the preview, because I don't see it.
On TFW's website, she has the recipe for "Kate's Sausage and Bean Casserole". She changed the name to "Cara's" for the book. In the website recipe she says to use one can of undrained black beans, but in the book it says drained. Maybe a tester did try out the recipe and decided that drained was better, or it's a typo. The picture in the book is much better than the one TFW put on her website-which you can see here:
http://www.kateplusmy8.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/01/photo-9-225x300.jpg
In the pizza pictures in the book, the crust still looks very undone. I never had pizza where the crust was toasty brown.

I have Kraft mac and cheese occasionally with no milk , just butter and the cheese powder! Sometimes grate some real cheddar on top. I admit it, but I wouldn't put it in my 'masterpiece' cookbook. My son likes ketchup on his, ugh.
Why would TFW include this- we all know it exists!

I love Kraft Mac and Cheese too. I am 73, and my mother used to make a box of it for our lunch from the time I was 3 or a bit younger even. The stuff has been around forever..even the box looks much the same..taste the same too.

++++++++++++++++++
We just tried the great big box of Stouffers mac and cheese. It was actually good, but we prefer "drier" mac and cheese with a nice brown crust and you can't get that from boxes. However, the Michelina's Mac and Cheese bake is pretty darn good.
In my previous comment, I meant to say "I never had pizza where the crust wasn't toasty brown.
I used to LOVE Lipton Chicken Noodle Soup mix with that ball of chicken bouillon and vermicelli noodles. Can't imagine the sodium in that one!
I have no doubt the kids ask for the box mac n cheese and tuna dinner. I loved when my mom would heat up franks and beans, or Chef Boyardee ravioli or Spaghettios for us. But for heaven's sake, I wouldn't put that in my organic cookbook! Or any cookbook that I actually had the nerve to charge for.
Tucker's Mom (197)
Good catch about the meat slicer and yogurt maker. No mention of them. In fact, she talks about buying the large container of yogurt rather than the smaller cups, then dividing it up to save money. Why buy it at all when you have your own yogurt maker? She even claimed that she had a French outlet put in at her home just for this yogurt maker.
For the main course lunch options, she lists chips and salsa. Ms. healthy/organic gives her kids chips and salsa as the main course in their lunches?
Regarding leftovers, did anyone here watch Malcolm in the Middle when it was on? The mother layered leftovers in a tall casserole dish and called it "leftover parfait". Malcolm counted the number of layers, and realized that the leftovers from last week's leftover parfait were the bottom layer of this week's leftover parfait. Gross and funny at the same time.

Thanks! I was reading the preview without signing into my Amazon account and I didn't see it. Once I signed in, I found it, plus some additional recipes that I didn't see before.
(Leslie)
In that Life Coach article it states: "Now she’s making a living doing what she loves and what she’s good at." That is pure 100% bullshit. Kate is no where near making a living with her blog (what blog) and products (what products). Kate is probably living off of her multi-millions from years past. No way did she make a living off of her Coupon Cabin blog and The Stir blog that recently closed. And her website is a joke so she can't be making any money off of that. All those monies she made from blogging was just spending money in her pocket. What products has Kate made? And we know that her cookbook isn't producing any monies for her to make a living with. Again, she is a fraud and a liar.
The only money she made in the past 2 years was from Wife Swap. And that was because she once again filmed her kids and put them in a awkard and scary position. To tell them a strange film crew would be showing up with a complete stranger was cruel. And remember that she lied all throughout Wife Swap. The lie was that she has no time for herself and needed to spend sometime away from her kids. What a joke. She has spent an enormous amount of time away from her kids in the past 2 years.
My family loves Kraft macaroni and cheese, and we really think the shaped pasta ones (Spongebob, etc) taste better than the regular macaroni kind. I would think it is the same, but with different pasta, but to us, it's better.
(Leslie)
Where is everyone seeing half of Kate's cookbook displayed? I went to HCI website and clicked on her cookbook and only saw 2 recipes.
Also, is Kate's book media tour printed? If so, where may I find it.
Thanks for the help.
Leslie Amazon has a huge preview of the book. Maybe it's because the book drags so much, but it feels like it's most of the book! I actually wondered the other day if perhaps this was some kind of glitch. Seems weird to include so much of it for free.
TFW cooks Sunday through Wednesday ( only has 2 kids on tuesday nights as we all now know) . Leftovers are on Thursdays.
I guess friday and Saturday is when she takes the kids out who are with her out to chipolte to reward them for not going to Daddy's. Or she makes Steve's Pizza.
And of course all of us mom's have kids who GROAN when its leftovers...but NOT HER kids!
well aint that special ...NOT
Good lord. It is like the entire book is online! Some of those posed kitchen pictures are cringe worthy. Awkward. I cannot imagine who will be buying this book. Who wants to know about Kate's personal diet and what she eats before a big race?? Ha. I don't even believe she runs anymore.
I was one of 5 kids. We had so much fun at the dinner table. Yes, sometimes we would go around the table and say something about our day or something we learned at school, but basically we just talked, sometimes all at once. We passed around the dishes (family style) and the big joke was when the food someone asked for almost got to them someone else would ask for it and we would reverse course. We also played games like Whisper Down the Lane. On April Fools Day mom served dinner backwards with dessert first and the plates were upside down. One April Fools Day my brother and I told everyone the dog had gotten out and we sat at the table and laughed while everyone was out searching. Oh, and my youngest brother one time told my mom "this was the best dinner I ever have" and it became a running joke that he would say that after EVERY dinner. Oh and we had leftovers and I hated them and to this day do not eat them/

Creamy herb chicken really?
1. Where's the creamy sauce?
2. That's chicken???
3. Is this from KK cookbook?
Could someone post a link to TFMJG bread machine recipe? I am not brave enough like Silimom to try the sodium explosions, but I am willing to attempt a bread machine recipe. How hard could it be? Surely it could not be too messed up. On wait we are talking about TFMJG here
We passed around the dishes (family style) and the big joke was when the food someone asked for almost got to them someone else would ask for it and we would reverse course.
&&&&
We still do that here. I don't think I've ever "plated" food at an evening meal. Supper is always family style, passed around. If it's something new, kids will take a small serving and try it. No sense wasting anything by taking a large portion and then throwing it away. If they want seconds, they take seconds. No food control, and nobody is overweight or underweight. They seem to know how much they need to be satisfied without gorging or stuffing! I love the chattering all at one time while passing the bowls/platters!
I have no doubt the kids ask for the box mac n cheese and tuna dinner. I loved when my mom would heat up franks and beans, or Chef Boyardee ravioli or Spaghettios for us.
&&&&&&&&&
Too funny! I am a fairly decent cook. I have done the homemade ravioli, and we've had ravioli at nice Italian restaurants. Kid always said that Chef Boyardee in the cans is much better! Why is that?

Fired Up 4 Kate @MiloandJack 17m
@Kateplusmy8 Just want U 2know I'm tryin 2learn ur new site http://couponsbykate.com I have already secured 2coupon codes 2use 4savings! :)
Poor soul. All she has to do is google the coupon she wants and it will bring it up at various sites...or go to retailmenot, which is quick and easy!
It took her all this time to secure two coupon codes? Good lord.
I have already secured 2coupon codes 2use 4savings! :)
&&&
She found the codes, but did she get them to work? Because I found two great coupons too, for Toms. Except....they didn't work! I had to go to a real site, Retailmenot, to get a working code.
In fact I have yet to hear a sheeple provide a specific example of a code they found that they actually got to work. The praise is all very vague with no one saying oh wow just bought this great product with this deal thanks to you!
We always did family style too and food was never made to be a big deal. It was just a time for the family to gather together and catch up. We got the occasional prodding to eat our vegetables, but we had a garden, and the more I helped in the garden the more I was interested in the veggies. None of the females in that family has ever had issues with food. The males don't either, it's just not as common in males.
In contrast, my close friend, who was always told by her mother she would need to lose a few pounds if she wanted to be an actress (she has done a few commercials and bit parts but mostly writes now), was anorexic in high school and well into college.
Sorry, but IMO Kate and "scathingly brilliant" is an oxymoron of the first order.
***
LOL. I meant from HER perspective it's scathingly brilliant. Objectively, it's usually no more brilliant than discovering if you put one foot in front of the other, you are walking.
The language (F word and so on) and obscene sexual references (anal) on TFW's friend's twitter account is very inappropriate. I can't imagine what she's thinking associating with that. She has so many teen fans looking up to her and her friend is on there discussing anal sex. If my teen daughter was a Kate fan I'd be fit to be tied. Perhaps now it's really time to pull the plug on that relationship. No shame in it. We've all had people we've misjudged in our lives. What makes you the better person is to recognize when it happens and get out.
, I'd bet that the food shots took place over a few days and when they photograph food, they do all sorts of things to make it more appealing. The food isn't really edible after they are done with it.
&&&
I apologie that I cannot remember who told me this or where I saw it, but I distinctly remember SOMEBODY saying, maybe even Kate herself, that this entire photoshoot was shot in one day.
Yes I have read what they do to food to make it look better, even painting it, although I don't think this food had much done to it. It looks normal enough. You can do a lot more in photoshop these days so that it becomes less necessary to doctor the food. For example, a blah looking porkchop you can boost the saturation and make it appetizing again. Too bad there's no photoshop in the kitchen as you cook!
I was looking at Kate's creamy chicken herb recipe. It actually looks good. I wonder if you could brown the chicken in olive oil, put it in the crockpot, add the other ingredients, cover the pot (!) and just let it do its thing.
I might try it.
By the way, do physicians recommend giving kids any amount of juice these days, especially after the toddler stage. Most say low fat milk or water.
&&&
I think they still do, but I read that the ONLY reason they do so is because it has marginal fruit in it so they figure SOME fruit is better than no fruit. They are afraid if they don't recommend it, low income families won't be able to provide their children enough fruit. They have been fighting dentists on this for years, who say all this does is send kids in for cavities earlier. In general they seem to agree juices like this are full of sugar which is bad, it's just they can't agree whether to continue recommending them for their fruit value.
I once did a blog post on Juicy Juice, their poor nutritional value and questionable labeling practices.

------------------------
I agree. When she started trotting around in those heels, short shorts and girls hanging out in the rockin bikini, I had to think about the pastor from the Roswell, Georgia church, and what he would have said about it. And now, considering her friendship with a person she calls her hero, I just shake my head and wonder what the pastor would think about that...and what her friends say about it. The fans think he's all that and a bowl of ice cream, too, but what about the people in her life who have moral values and strong religious beliefs, and are disgusted with that kind of talk and sexual innuendo? Yes, it's freedom of speech and he can say anything he darn well wants, but I'm just at a loss why she would want to align herself with that. It makes no sense, especially, as you say, there are teens reading that garbage. Youngsters make up her fan base.
Doesn't she read those tweets?
I'm pretty sure Amazon's recommendations are based on a computer. For instance if a lot of people looking or buying TFW's book also look at or buy PW's book, or the Duggars, or what have you, it will recommend each other. I don't think there's a person sitting behind a computer deciding this, I think it's just a program that does it all based on stats it collects. If we all also happened to buy books on golf that would show up too even if that's not really connected. Like many sites, Amazon is tracking each and every thing we look at even if we never buy.
I have always said PW and TFW are sort of on the same spectrum and probably have similar fan demographics. They're in the same niche area (rural family, kids, Christian, cooking for families, home, fish out of water). That seems to confirm my suspicions.

IIRC, it was Kate who said that. She of the duplicitous tongue may not have telling the truth though, so we are no closer to knowing. I find it kind of hard to believe she'd have prepared all those recipes, and have them ready for plating and photographing in a single day.
Maybe her personal chef Katherine did all the cooking while Kate "masterminded" the project.

Kate wrote a whole bog about on the Stir, and according to her, not only was it done in one day, but they were done by dinnertime:

Perhaps, it was only the kids' pictures that were shot that day, and the food pictures were shot at a different time.

Aw thank you Kate is a twit (64) He is recovering although some days he gets stuck in a funk.
We're hanging in there though and he was lucky that it wasn't so severe as to leave him totally incapacitated. I'm getting a real work out from all of this too. I've lost seven pounds I wasn't using anyway lol!
Thanks Mel!
Sleepless, I've heard that too, so I just now googled it. It's the Laughing Buddha's belly you're supposed to rub for good luck.
I also didn't realize there were so many buddhas - twenty-eight of them.
I remember back in the 60's their was a restaurant in Cleve,OH burbs that was named "Happy Charlie's", which their symbol was a Laughing Buddha.
People from the town were outraged because the buddha's belly button was in clear sight and thought that was vulgar! They forced the restaurant to cover it with a toga drape until it a permanent cover could be done.
Now in Seattle we have coffee baristas with girls wearing only pasties and another coffee house that asked a woman to leave because she was nursing her baby. Times they have really changed!

Yes, it's logic-driven upselling. Amazon will use your buying patterns and history as well as others' to predict what you might need or want to buy/look at with an item you select.
That said, Kate's book will probably get a push from The Pioneer Woman's new book simply because Amazon is linking them *to Kate*, planting the seed, if you will.
When I select TPW's books, she is basically connected/linked to her own books, not Kate's.
Auntie Ann, I hope you are getting support as your DH's caregiver. It can be incredibly stressful, having to deal with the physical, mental and emotional changes for you and DH.
God bless you for facing this so bravely.
Changes post stroke are still happening even well after a year, so may DH continue to improve and gain independence and happiness.
Waving hello to Auntie Ann.
I hope your husband makes a full and speedy recovery. It is great to see your name here.
I adore cookbooks. I like to read them like novels. Even with so many recipes on the Internet I still buy them. I have never seen a warning label on any cookbook. That's crazy. There's nothing in that cookbook that entices me to buy it.

@Bethenny You will do great !! You are already awesome. Please have my buddy @Kateplusmy8 on we'd love to hear an update on her family. #B

Her buddy Kate doesn't even tweet her anymore.
You guys are mistaken if you think Kate prepared and cooked the food for the cookbook. A Food Stylist goes to culinary school. Here is an excerpt from an article from a professional food stylist:
A project can start days, sometimes weeks, before the actual shoot day(s). Depending on the type of job, there are conference calls, meetings, art direction, hiring of assistants, shopping, and planning shot lists and sometimes travel. As each photo shoot is very complex it usually takes a lot of people to make it a success.
I work mainly in photo studios that have kitchens available to use. I usually work with an assistant who helps me shop for and prepare the food. It is the assistant’s job to help the stylist follow the recipes perfectly, ensuring that all of the ingredients are used, that the food is ready for set when it is needed, and to make sure that the stylist has everything that she/he might need. In turn, assisting is the only way that one can learn the trade....
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
This is the way food photography is prepared. Google it. I knew the food in the cookbook looked way better than anything she ever posted on Twitter or on her blog. My question is what did these people think of her slop? They get an A+ in making it LOOK appetizing.

Good gawd. She's still "at it." I guess The View never responded, and that petition she was starting didn't get off the ground. If Kate is her buddy, then why would she need to hear an update on her family? She should receive those regularly, shouldn't she...or you would think that with People flying off the shelves, everyone would have been "updated" on the family by now.
I do feel kind of sorry for these people, though...the ones who tweet celebrities like they are old friends, and expect them to respond. I imagine that this makes them feel very important if they think that bonding is occurring between the celebrities and themselves.
Someone on another blog is posting that stores never take a "loss" on magazines and that they throw out magazines by the hundreds all the time and publishers just reimburse them. Is that true for Costco? It may be different since that's not a traditional store? They posted the comment here but it was too rude to post but I'm curious myself how this works so I thought I would ask the group. Thx!
Not sure this will pass muster and make it through, however I find it very interesting considering all the bullying frenzy surrounding Kate these days, from BV's attorney, Marco Randazza:
marcorandazza @marcorandazza 13 Feb
@XXXXXX @XXXXXX Easy rule: if you're over 18, and not handicapped, you can't be "bullied". You're just a whiny wanna be victim.
and:
marcorandazza @marcorandazza 13 Feb
If you claim you're being "bullied", you better be under 18, handicapped, or deformed, else you're just a d***he
I have a friend who works in retail and he said they have to tear all the covers off of magazines,puzzle books, paperback books, etc. They send the covers to the publisher for reimbursement.
That is why books (not magazines)have a warning "If you bought this book without a cover be aware it may be stolen". The retailer is supposed to recycle the books and magazines, and that warning is put in books to deter employees from taking the books and reselling at garage sales or flea markets.
Did any of you notice how much nicer the 5th Birthday cake for the twins ( Cara written on the plate) was compared to more recent efforts?
Also I chuckled at the Thanksgiving menu- 'turkey stuffed with homemade stuffing" I guess editor Cara didn't suggest removing the 'with.'Also TFW said Thanksgiving and Xmas menus are almost the same yet she has ham for Xmas??
OT: I had some overripe bananas on hand yesterday and made two loaves of banana bread from then. Used recipe that I have from old edition of Good Housekeeping Cookbook, that was my mothers, publication date is in the 1960s. The recipe called for shortening, good old Crisco,.which my mother bought in the huge containers. Bad for the arteries but it made great fried chicken! Anyway, I substitute real unsalted butter for the shortening, no Trans fat! I got rave reviews from family and neighbors, but no squeals of delight. What am I doing wrong?
Today I have no banana bread left for us, neighbor got a loaf and dd took half loaf left over back to college with her. So I want to bake another but used all the flour yesterday. I do have a box of Bisquick and googled banana bread recipe and bisquick. And found a 1953 vintage recipe! Found it on about.com southern food section.
I have some of those recipe booklets from the sixties and seventies and a couple of books from the fifties and sixties that came from my grandmothers house and my mothers bookcase, along with old church recipe collection books. They are fun to look at sometimes, and also to try once in a while.
Years ago my mom used to 'dumpster dive' for books behind the old Woolworth's. The paperbacks were torn in half but she just matched them up and read them anyhow. (NO she wasn't poor, she worked for the Post Office. I called her the $28K a yr bag lady)

Wasn't there one photo that showed pepper (and cheese?) on the top when none was called for in the recipe? Do they go over the recipes to make sure that there aren't any questions about the ingredients...i.e., what size bag of carrots, is the chicken boneless and skinned...?
Her buddy Kate doesn't even tweet her anymore.
-----
-----
Maybe Kate is afraid that her buddy is going to keep pestering for an invitation to swim in her pool. I'm not so sure I would tweet her either. You can't throw bones when someone thinks that they are your BFF. It just encourages them.
I guess that sheepover (thanks, Virginia Pen!) with Em and Austin never happened. Wasn't Kate manic tweeting that night? Perhaps she doesn't even remember inviting them.
Auntie Ann -- so good to see you back! Hope you and your husband are both doing well. Don't be a stranger here -- you were missed!
AuntieAnn: May I add my best wishes to you and your husband? Hope he continues to improve and don't forget to look after yourself.Glad to see your posts!
I just did a google search using "tear off covers unsold magazine ", and, yes, they are reimbursed (you can see the info on the search results without clicking). Makes more sense that would be the case.
Anyway, doesn't change her popularity in any way--the number they sold is still the number they sold. It isn't like somebody scored a huge victory!
Since I don't have Twitter, I'm kind of clueless about how it works. If someone is suspended, do they just get reinstated under the same ID, or do they have to create a new one? How does Twitter determine if that person should be reinstated?
Also, isn't there a page where you can view old tweets that go back for several months? I'm curious about something that TFW said and I'd like to see if I can find it.
I hope she outgrows this. By the way, where has Paige been lately?

Emily Creighton @EmCr68 1m
@Kateplusmy8 the picture of you and me is hanging in my dorm room, and someone asked me if you were my sister! 👭
We owned a retail country store in Ontario years ago and sold magazines. The distributor would count our returns before stocking the new magazines each week. Our invoice would reflect the unsold magazines as a credit each month. They took the returns and destroyed them (before recycling was done routinely). We did our own count first, then signed off on the distributors numbers in order to receive the proper credits. They stocked our store based on what magazines were most popular with our customers. Back then, TIME, Newsweek, McLean's (a Canadian newsmagazine) were the big sellers. Celebrity culture wasn't as blown up as it is today, and it was the National Enquirer that people picked up to get their fill of Hollywood stories.
I worked in retail in college. What you are saying about paperback books is correct. That is what we did. Can't answer about magazines.
The stores don't take a loss, the publisher does. That is my understanding.
Kate is a twit said... 88
If you look at the first page(under the picture of the book) it has a disclaimer. Basically, it's a warning for people with food allergies, but this line made me laugh.
"All recipes are used at the risk of the consumer"
It also states that if you have allergies or health problems to contact your medical professional before the use of any recipe and that neither the publisher nor the author is responsible for any hazard, loss, damage, that may occur as a result of any recipe preparation or use.
========
I've just been looking through "What Would Brian Boitano Make" and didn't find any disclaimers like this at all. His disclaimers are more along the lines of if you want to reduce calories use almond milk instead of heavy cream and skip the whipped cream. I would hope that those with nut or shellfish allergies (for example) would know not to cook a recipe using nuts or shrimp and would not have consult a health professional although I'm sure they'll be happy to take the co-pay.
Re food stylists, in his acknowledgements BB says "Malina Lopez-food stylist goddess. You never failed to deliver sumptuous food and setups..." I guess that answers the question as to why many of the pictures look better than those tweeted by TFW.
What the sheeple fail to mention when they claim we make up stories to make Kate look bad is that so many of us asked so many clarifying (respectful) questions about that Costco story that it made the original poster upset.
This is another one who tweets celebrities like they are best buddies, telling them to say hi to their children for her, asking how potty training is going...and then this to Kate:
colleen campbell @callerbabe 5m
@Kateplusmy8 I live in Edmonton,AB,Canada,I pre-ordered your new cook book-when can I pick it up from my local bookstore?Please
Like Kate knows! Wouldn't she find an answer by calling her local bookstore and asking for notification when it arrives?
I swear...
JOYINVIRGINIA: this is my gramma's banana bread recipe and it's fantastic:
1stick butter, softened
1.5 cups of sugar
2 eggs
1 tsp. vanilla
3/4 tsp. salt
3-4 bananas mashed
1 tsp. baking powder
1 tsp. baking soda
1 cup sour cream
1/2 cup walnuts (optional)
2 cups flour
Cream butter and eggs together.....add rest of ingredients except flour and blend. Mix in flour. Pour into 2 greased Loaf pans and bake at 350 degrees for about 45 min. Or until toothpick comes out clean.
In her defense, Layla did say that he son was tearing the covers off the magazine. Maybe they just didnt know that it was the publisher that took the loss and not the store. No need to dog pile on the rabbit.
From what I read, the stylist must include all the ingredients called for in the recipe but takes artistic liberty for whatever is needed for a good photo, so there could be additional condiments or ingredients. You guys should read about the fakery involved in making food look appetizing for photos. That's why I like cooking shows. It's the real deal.
Fired Up 4 Kate @MiloandJack 14h
@nancivs Yes...two that I choose both worked! Site is new...give her time. This is not what she was trained 2do N school...:)

This made me smile. When Kate announced her coupon site, Milo was in a flutter over it, excited for Kate, but trying to navigate her way around the site, tweeting Kate for a tutorial because
Kate's the expert, queen of coupons, etc. etc.
She's deleted those tweets, and is now saying that this is all new to Kate and she wasn't trained to do it in school.
Whatever, Milo...just don't talk out of both sides of your mouth.

This is what makes this site so darn cool!
I've been pouring over vintage recipes and think I'm going to make a pineapple cake with cream cheese icing.
The dumpster diving is too funny!
(once again, today, we were at Lowe's and I rescued a "death row" perenial-- a Black and Blue Salvia. It's planted, been loved on, been watered and fingers crossed for next year!)
Speaking of vintage recipes! I have Chicken Marbella in the slow cooker. I've adapted it to the slow cooker from the oven. Instead of prunes, I use medjool dates and dried Turkish apricots (that I get at Reading Terminal Market, while hissing at Kate's photo displayed at the pretzel place).
It only uses one pan to build, from browning the chicken, to making the sauce.
Take THAT for a twist, (of) Kate.
(Country Captain Chicken was also the bees knees back in the day, but I still make it. It's the perfect "pot luck" dish)
They should just send the covers to her fans (Milo?) and they could paper the bathroom walls with it!

If Milo was on "Trading Spaces, Hildie so would have done that!
NJ I thought the same thing. I don't think piling on his necessary either I just resent the conversation being characterized as we just believe whatever negative thing we hear and reject the positive. That is a flat out lie and that's not what happened here at all.
Tweet le, thanks for sharing the twit from mcniblets attorney. Interesting! So how does TFMJG fit in with that definition?
Wowser, thanks for sharing the recipe! I have not seen a version using sour cream, I will try that soon add I pick up some flour. I will be sure to post if I hear squeals of delight, maybe sour cream is the secret to getting those squeals?
Auntie Ann - I can tell from recent posts that your husband must have had a catastrophic injury or illness and is slowly recuperating. I'm sorry to hear that, and hope the two of you are doing okay. It is quite demanding to suddenly find yourself in the role of caregiver 24/7. Remember that is so important to take some time for yourself, so that you can remain strong as the caregiver. It's not selfish - it's actually a benefit to the one you are caring for :)
I found an eggless banana bread recipe online not too long ago, and it's actually quite good. I'm not vegan, but I happened to have a very ripe banana and no eggs! I love banana bread, but I try to make it only once in awhile because I will eat the whole loaf before i know it :)
Does anyone remember that creepy robin Williams movie One Hour Photo? Remember he was obsessed with that family and had plastered his entire wall with their photos. He would imagine himself as a family member and tell other people about them as if he were the children's uncle. Creepy!
I agree Admin and really meant to say "no need for THEM to dog pile on the rabbit". I actually thought that the store took the loss also. Now I know where all those paperbacks without a cover beibg sold for a nickle at flea markets come from. Live and learn.
Check out the acknowledgments. Kate thanks Kim Weiss is Director of Communications for HCI Books (Health Communications, Inc.). She ran her own public relations firm in Boca Raton, FL, called WW Communications, Inc. where she created p.r. campaigns for individuals, corporations, and municipalities.
So Kate paid HCI to market her for the signings, appearances, etc. I thought I read that if you do that kind of package deal with a self publisher, it is quite expensive. And think of the cost for the photography for the book. Lots of money poured into something that will be a dud.

++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
Wow Mr. Randazza, thank you. This is pretty much what we've been saying all along (without the colorful language) Being called out on your own lies and bad behavior is not being bullied. TFW willingly made herself a public figure. She instigated the backlash against her by trying very hard to paint a picture of complete and unattainable perfection. She is the one who insists that 34 DD breasts just appeared one day with the help of a good bra, She claimed to do all the cooking, cleaning and laundry by herself, sometimes copping to having a "little" help It was all lies. It's unfair and misleading to try to make people who may only have a few kids feel like there is something wrong with them. She may be angry that she didn't get away with it, but the backlash she received was not bullying.
The thing that has bothered me the most about her alliance with BV is his motto of being a bully to take on a bully. That is not how our justice system works. When two of TFW's children were bullying other students at school, it looks like the school followed a step by step process over many weeks. Instead of using the process, what if the school had just let the students who were hit by the G kids hit them back? TFW would have been outraged and rightly so. If we were an eye for an eye, tooth for a tooth society, there would be lawlessness and total chaos. She should be ashamed of being associated with the likes of BV, epecially since she wouldn't want anyone to apply his message of revenge to her own children.
Joyinvirginia: it is one of my most requested bread recipes. The sour cream makes the banana bread soooo moist and the bananas don't turn brown so the color of the bread is a beautiful golden yellow. I don't mash the bananas,,,just use the mixer and mash them while mixing. Enjoy. : )
Somewhere beyond that was the best post ever.
We are a country that allows "reviews" and discussion of what you are selling. Whether it's pizza, shoes, haircuts, or your perfect life as a mom of 8.
If that's not for you you simply don't have to go into sales.
Wowser, thanks for sharing the recipe! I have not seen a version using sour cream, I will try that soon add I pick up some flour. I will be sure to post if I hear squeals of delight, maybe sour cream is the secret to getting those squeals?

Yes!! Sour cream is the magic!
Martha Stewart's banana bread recipe using sour cream is my go-to now. I used Betty Crocker's for YEARS, now, it's all Martha.
Damn it!
Wow Mr. Randazza, thank you. This is pretty much what we've been saying all along (without the colorful language)

I've read his tweets. If I had an attorney who used colorful language like that on a public forum, I'd find another attorney.
Plastering walls with pictures must be taught in Stalking 101. They did this on Dallas, when JR's niece, Lucy, was being stalked.

I saw that movie and it was super creepy.
For some reason I could see Milo doing the same for KK. I bet she has a room posted with photos of her queen.
An acquaintance of mine owns a newsstand, so when I picked up my Sunday paper today, I asked him how many copies of TFMJG's People cover mag he sold. Now, for clarification, this is not a small newsstand with a few out of town papers and the standard mags. The entire length of his store is double-racked with magazines, on both sides, is filled with magazines. He carries many obscure, specialized mags. Basically, if there's a magazine covering a subject, he carries it. The point is, he gets a lot of traffic and sells a lot of magazines. He sold 2 (TWO) copies of the TFMJG People. By contrast, he's twice restocked his shelf with the cover of the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge and baby George.
I skimmed through the preview of the crookbook on Amazon. Most of the recipes sound mediocre, at best, and a few are downright unappetizing. There was one I might give a try, if my math skills are up to cutting the portion size down to something reasonable for one person. I like leftovers, and I also freeze meals, but not that much!
Auntie Ann -- I'm also happy to see you back and posting. I've missed your wit and wisdom. Hope your husband is continuing to recover. Hugs and prayers for you both.

---------
I think what happened here is a good example of confusing facts with conclusions drawn from partial information. Taking the OP at face value gives us the fact that there were more unsold magazines than normal at that particular store. Beyond that, there are too many variables missing to leap to the conclusion that the store took an overall loss on the issue, even if there are unsold magazines--we would need quantity, price paid, price sold info to draw that conclusion).. By making that assertion, sheeple then disregard the entire post, including the one and only fact that was known. It doesn't work that way--making a mistaken assumption doesn't change what is true. Anyone can believe or disbelieve the truth of the fact, but the erroneous conclusion do not, in and of themselves, negate the facts.
So, if the OP's statement that there were more than usual unsold issues, it means that there just isn't public interest in her.
Another of Mr. Randazza's tweets:
@XXXXXXXX I don't understand. What the f**k is a "Class action lawsuit for bullying?"
___________________________
Lol this attorney! I have no idea why he's tweeting all this. But it sounds like he is not on the same page as his client and has a difficult client and he's just fed up. The problem is a glass of wine is the cure for a difficult client not twitter!!
This is similar to how I pictured the conversation with your attorney about a class action lawsuit. Just without the f word. Lol.
Admin--wondering where you saw any blog discussing the People discussion here. Seems like most of the sites are gone or inactive.
Looks like Babymama has launched her IW website in a big way, with lots of topics--Gosselin is now discussed under the sub-category f Reality TV, under the Entertainment tab. Then it looks like there is a spin-off, with very few participants. So, TFW's number 1 fan seems to have moved on, and morphed into a career for herself. Compared to TFW's website, it is about 88X better. Good for her--she was thoroughly snubbed by TFW.
How did the FW snub BM again? I remember it was horrific I just don't remember what happened. She's snubbed so many fans it's just a blur for me now.
The tweets I've posted were made before BV's announced class action lawsuit, which actually, is more telling, to me. It shows the attorney's real feelings. Whether he'll take on such a suit and be a hypocrite is another story.

He never said it wasnt harassment. He said it wasn't bullying. Terms matter in the law. Which begs the question if they admit it's harassment why not just address it under our more than adequate harassment laws.

__________________________________________
IIRC, it had to do with Kate's 'show your love for K+8' poster contest (the winner got to send their copy of IJWYTK postage paid with a postage paid return envelope and the prize was Kate signing it... I kid, I kid;) BM said she would announce the contest on her website. Kate smacked her down saying something to the effect that she only permitted official K8 information to come from herself or the official K8 + my 8 website. Snap. Way to treat a devoted fan, Kate.
I don't understand any of this class action thing. I don't know who is suing whom; who is representing whom; which side of the fence BV's attorney is on. What a convoluted mess.
On April 3, ROL announced that "Kate Gosselin will join a class-action lawsuit against many people who have attacked and threatened her online a source close to the situation tells RadarOnline.com exclusively."
On April 8, ROL announced (exclusively, of course): "Jon & Kate Plus Hate: 80 People Joining Kate Gosselin Anti-Bullying Lawsuit." That sounded like a definite "go." However, in the article, it stated, "Barely more than one week since the planned lawsuit was announced, more than 80 people have expressed strong interest in joining, Radar has learned."
Having expressed a strong interest is not joining a lawsuit as the header implies.
So which is it? They're interested in joining...or they have joined and this is in the works? Is Kate paying her own attorney, or is this BV attorney also representing her?
I don't understand why you would object to free promotion but if she really must, she should have done so privately off twitter. She embarrassed her.
Twit and Tweet--
Thanks for correction. Wasn't IW a fan blog originally? If so, she is now just a sub-sub category.
Somewhere...that was what I was talking about. Very frosty smack down, for someone who has tirelessly defended TFW.
So, I guess what I am remembering is that the IW site came up on a lot of web search results.

@AskBabyMama contest for MY twitter followers only.. Not your fan site fans, if that makes sense? Thanks...
Although Kate gave BM a smackdown, BM ended up making excuses for it:
Baby Mama @AskBabyMama
@AskBabyMama @Kateplusmy8 Reading everything now..Yup ONLY Twitter followers! Got it! :)
Baby Mama @AskBabyMama
@xxxxxx She wants to do a contest for Twitter followers. majority of my readers do not like Twitter so Kates right they don't qualify.
Why couldn't Kate just ask her to specify to be eligible for the contest you have to follow Kate? Good heavens. That was so nasty and unnecessary and makes her look possessive.
Baby Mama specifically said she posted it on her fan site so that "all twitter people will know", then Kate said it was for HER twitter followers only.
Did Kate realize that she might have gained MORE twitter followers as a result of Baby Mama's post? That people may just follow her because they wanted to enter the contest?
Another lost opportunity for Kate.

Since I don't have twitter, I can only guess that your fingers start flying before you think. Brevity and speed are the hallmarks of twitter, and to tweet fast AND figure out how to say it nicely might be too much for TFW.
Rule #1 of twitter needs to be "think before
you tweet, re-read it before you send it."
Like I said cut off your nose to spite your face.

Joyinvirginia: it is one of my most requested bread recipes. The sour cream makes the banana bread soooo moist and the bananas don't turn brown so the color of the bread is a beautiful golden yellow. I don't mash the bananas,,,just use the mixer and mash them while mixing. Enjoy. : )

Wowser - I think I'm going to give your Grandma's recipe a try - it sounds REALLY good!! Thank you!

Ah, let's give her a little break. She was a bit testy. She was about to get canned or HAD already gotten canned but didn't want her "tweeties" to know, despite the fact that all the haters knew.

Agree, he got those who posted at RWA but not everyone who comments negatively about Kate commented on RWA. Some may be going to fan sites to read.
Based on what I've read here (and here only) it may be that Babymama has expanded her blog beyond being just a Kate fan site, similar to the IW site
That covers numerous topics.
- how's that for a run-on sentence?
Posting from my phone is difficult
P.s. Good to see you AuntieAnn

What the sheeple fail to mention when they claim we make up stories to make Kate look bad is that so many of us asked so many clarifying (respectful) questions about that Costco story that it made the original poster upset.
================
The first two posters who questioned that were trolls making posts under two different names--in my opinion anyway.
The posts were a minute apart and yet the second poster was responding to the first one. They were both off-hours. The type of response would have required #2 to read #1's post the second it was posted, think about their Costco, type a response, submit it, and then for Admin to approve it instantaneously.
I think this is just one (lonely, disturbed?) person who pops in during the night and creates random or obnoxious names, trying to play an outraged non-fan who always thinks we've "gone too far this time."
I'd vote for not posting her comments. They're usually obnoxious and often trying to offend someone here by responding with a nasty tone.

I think with self- publishing you are responsible for your own editing or pay to have them do it.
=========
Yes, they typically offer à la carte services you can choose from. The editing you'd get would be just what we saw in Kate's book--pretty bad. And the the marketing package would have questionable value and be overpriced. More dollars sucked into Kate's hopeless cause. The hole for this book is a great gaping maw.
Lancastercountmomand Joyinvirginia: I look forward to your "recipe tasting" opinions...lol
Another excellent sweet bread recipe...not aTFW bread machine recipe....
Almond poppyseed bread
3 eggs
2 and 1/2 c. Sugar
1 and 1/2 c. Milk
1 and 1/4 c. Canola oil
3 c. Flour
3 Tbsp. poppy seeds
1 and 1/2 tsp. salt
1 and 1/2 tsp. baking powder
1 and 1/2 tsp. pure vanilla extract
1 and 1/2 tsp. pure almond extract
Cream egg and sugar. Blend in oil, milk and spices. Add flour and mix. Pour into greased and floured pans (I like using Pam BAKING spray). Bake 325 degrees for 1 hour to 1 hr and 10 min. Or until knife comes out clean. Loosen bread from pans by running a rubber scraper along sides and then pour glaze over the top. Glaze will be absorbed down along the sides of the loaves and on top. Let it sit for a little bit and then take out of pans and let sit til cool. (note: the batter is thin...don't panic...lol)
GLAZE:
3/4 c. Sugar
1/4 c. Orange juice
1/2 tsp. pure vanilla extract
1/2 tsp. pure almond extract
2 Tbsp. butter
Combine into a small saucepan and heat over med low heat until butter is melted and sugar is dissolved. Pour over loaves, making sure that the entire top of loaf is covered with glaze.

Bless these people, two of their sextuplets are wheelchair bound. These are people deserving of help and donations. Not some has been whining in People about how she's piecing together her Audi and Mercedes payments, her $3k a month mortgage and her 100k private school tuition bill.
Wowser - I think I'm going to give your Grandma's recipe a try - it sounds REALLY good!! Thank you!

Ditto. My kids really love banana bread (no nuts) and I'm going to make it tomorrow. Thanks, Wowser.
OT to LancasterCountyMom. I just bought some Peach Melba bread at Stauffers. It's very good (and almost gone already). I also bought some of their ready-to-eat baked blueberry oatmeal and I hate to admit it, but it's better than mine!
Not to put Kate down with her couponing venture, but if popular sites like retailmenot are so easy to navigate and the coupons work, why would she think that she would have volumes flocking to her site only to become frustrated trying to figure out why the codes don't work? Makes no sense...

That's what I don't understand. Most people seem to agree Retailmenot and similar sites have this market covered. They do it well, most of the time.
Unless you've come up with some kind of innovative idea how you're going to do the online coupon thing better, which she hasn't whatsoever, why even bother? It gets embarrassing at a certain point. It's not unlike her cookbook, like coming up with a vomiting diet that is different than the tried and true BRAT diet recommended by physicians, and so on. It would be interesting to be inside her head for just one day. I wonder if it really is just an alternative universe up there.
Thanks, Wowser. As Kate says, "Yum!!!!!"

When you think about it, though, it's the fans who will be purchasing this book. Would they know (or really care) that it hasn't been professionally edited? They would be too busy ogling Kate and crying their eyes out when they see how much the kids have grown. As long as they can follow instructions detailing cookie defrosting, it really wouldn't matter how horrible the grammar may be, or if the run-on sentences take on a life of their own. It really would have just been an added expense to have a competent person edit this book, or even pay a high school intern to do it. I think Kate realizes this.
It's sad that, when one considers the lack of editing, she set the bar so low. From what I read there was nothing professional about it, and that would have driven me crazy.
Wowser, your bread recipe sounds absolutely delicious. I can't wait to give it a try!
How many loaves does the recipe make?
Tweet yes but I dont think being about to get fired is any excuse to treat your fans poorly. Those people have stood by her against impossible odds. She has to appreciate that being a fan of Kate is not as easy as being a fan of, say, Jennifer Connelly.
I just saw the post for the almond poppy seed bread. Made me remember one of my favorite cakes. Its the poppy seed cake, on the back of the Solo Poppy seed filling can. It has sour cream in it, and you beat the egg whites separately fold them in. It's very moist. For some reason, I love to make cakes where you fold in the egg whites. It's yummy. I like cakes that aren't too sweet and don't require frosting. My other all time favs to make it a Sunday Torte my mother used to make. It's a thick batter, topped w/ raspberry jam, beaten egg whites with vanilla and coconut. 3 layers joined together w/ sour cream. sweet and tangy. Now I'll need to make something tomorrow. I've got a bunch of eggs and was thinking of making a sponge cake or lemon chiffon, but I'm almost out of butter. Costco tomorrow :)
Sorry, off topic, but I am watching DVR'd episodes of What not to Wear. This lady has 9 kids. 9! Three of them were the kids on Everybody Loves Raymond. So she's been a stage mom. Anyway, Clinton said that some people might wonder why she hasn't spent any of that Raymond money on better clothes. Her eyes got wide and she said, 'That's not mine! That's their money!"
Guess what she'a doing now? Going to nursing school! She is paying for and going to nursing school while she still has lots of kids at home.
Hmmmmmmm.......

Here are the posts that began the Costco discussion, plus #170 which had nothing to with it so you can see nothing is left out:
Layla said... 168
My son is home from a busy day of stocking shelves at Costco (and going out with coworkers after work). So, how did People magazine fare? He said the cashiers were talking about how only one person actually bought it, and she got 6 copies. What does anyone need 6 copies for? And the ones on the rack kept getting turned backward. I asked, "Did you turn them back forward like you were supposed to?" He answered, "No! Do you really think I wanted to see at that face every time I passed by? I just pretended I didn't notice".
No devil horns or goatees yet, but it's only Friday.

A better shoot, would have been showing what kids have been doing for the last 4 years> like sports, art work, interests?
I'm actually kinda pleased they stayed away from more information about the kids. That's the only good thing I take away. The info that was printed was at least generic.

Come to think of it our Costco doesn't either. It's just a stand alone ramp and checkout station. No candy, gift cards and no magazines. Nothing.

That makes me #1, but #2 was admin, not a troll talking to herself. Yes I rarely post and often late at night after I've had time to read all the posts. And I always post as Zoe.
I'm sorry that my post started a discussion that caused Layla to feel put upon. When I read all that the next evening I considered writing an apology, but it seemed like admin had already explained things and by then all had been smoothed over. I have never seen a magazine rack, or magazines, at Costco. The next time I go, I'll look for them.
Virginia Pen Mom, you are right on part of your post, though. I am lonely and do have emotional problems. I have difficulty with relationships and once I say/write something it rolls around in my head seemingly forever. Did I say it right, did I say it wrong, did they understand what I meant, could I have worded it differently? When I read this blog I'm in awe of how well some of you get along and communicate and wish I could be that way. Most of the time when I post there is no response, and I had gotten rather comfortable in that role. More often I only think about what I would like to post and then don't. Sometimes I write a post, preview it multiple times, then just give up and skip it.
Sorry this was so long.
I just took a look at Kate's TL. What a disgrace. Such disgusting tweets, such a mess of slurs, arguing, and hypocrisy. She needs to end this now. I'd be so embarrassed and so disturbed at what this has become that I'd take it off life support.
Allowing this to continue shows how terribly desperate she is for attention from the few fans who think she's the most awesome person on the planet. What is wrong with her?
Then again, both the Hatfields and the McCoys would be upset if she took it down. Nothing like keeping the fighting going, even if it means nobody will ever win. These are adults, for heaven's sakes, and they are behaving like brats on an elementary school playground.
suzee: not sure which recipe you are referring to...but for the banana bread recipe, 2- 8 inch pans or one large 9 inch pan is best. The poppy seed one is best with 2 - 8 inch or 2-9 inch pans. Non stick generously sprayed with Pam BAKING spray is my preference. I think you will enjoy both of these recipes.
Hi Zoe...
Keep posting here--I have made many missteps here and have been misunderstood. And, I have done my share of misunderstanding others. The people here are very forgiving, so, I'm glad that you took the time to clear up the timeline.
Once I post here, I have learned to just let it go. Not everyone will agree and sometimes things are read in that aren't intended. There was nothing wrong with your post.

Two minutes before, Kate signed on. She had to see this, but yet doesn't put an end to it. It's enough to do some serious head banging. I just can't figure her out. Yes, admin, it would be interesting to be inside her brain, if just for a few minutes.
I agree Sleepless, TFW needs to shut it down. Now.

@Kateplusmy8 Ha...U have folded so much laundry N ur lifetime...I imagine U are on #AutoPilot busily folding away watching TV...mulitasking!

This is why Kate doesn't end her Twitter. She needs these praises. She's folding wash and watching television (AT THE SAME TIME!) and she's amazing, according to her adoring fans.
I am freekin' amazing! Not only did I fold laundry while watching Food Truck Race but I also read AND posted on this blog while drinking tea and throwing a toy for the bulldog. I repeat, by TFW's fans' standards, I am freekin' amazing!
And yet, they aren't embarrassed to tweet this nonsense to her. They don't understand how absolutely silly it is, and that's what's so very bizarre. The fawning is just over the top.
Hi Zoe, keep posting. everyone is posting on different times here, sometimes it seems too late to respond to comments me the night before.
NJGal, I just made the 1953 vintage bisquick banana bread recipe, while watching the MTV video awards, and keeping up on the big brother live feeds. I feel quite amazing!

Folding t-shirts AND watching tv?
Simultaneously??
That does it. I take back every mean thing I've ever said about the woman.
I'm so very ashamed.
:O(
Zoe - It breaks my heart to hear you say you are lonely. I'm so sorry you feel that way. Please keep posting and try not to worry about saying something that could be misunderstood. If that happens, just post again to clarify your point.
This is an amazing blog, frequented by people I have found to be funny, understanding, witty, helpful and compassionate. Don't feel bad if you don't always get responses to your posts. It happens to everyone, not because their posts are not important or interesting, but sometimes because everyone reads here at different times, or because a poster has made their point so well nothing more has to be said about it or added to it. I appreciate every person who posts here because everyone (even those trolling for an argument) adds something special and unique.
NJGal and JoyinVirginia - The degree of amazingishness you have displayed through your laundry folding and tea drinking and doggie-toy throwing and banana bread making, all while watching TV, is nothing short of astonishing! I am in awe!! #superjellusofyouramazingness
These people are barking mad. TFW has had a laundry folder for ages. She was even on the show! Folding laundry on her own must be a new thing for her. I think the real test is can you get through a laundry basket without TV! I hate that chore. Hate.

I feel so inadequate, although I did manage to dunk my Oreo in a cup of coffee while drinking a glass of milk and watching paint dry in my kitchen. Am I in the running for the amazingness award, or do I have to parade around a Walmart parking lot with a sign?
@XXXXXXXX I don't understand. What the f**k is a "Class action lawsuit for bullying?"
*******
*raises hand to answer*
It's a pipe dream of the small group of Kate Krieder fans?
Sounds as if reality has raised its ugly head, and Kate's fans are covering their eyes and ears, and going "neener neener neener! I can't hear you!"
Speaking of vintage recipes! I have Chicken Marbella in the slow cooker. I've adapted it to the slow cooker from the oven. Instead of prunes, I use medjool dates and dried Turkish apricots (that I get at Reading Terminal Market, while hissing at Kate's photo displayed at the pretzel place).
It only uses one pan to build, from browning the chicken, to making the sauce.
Take THAT for a twist, (of) Kate.

Drooling here. I'm going to look up a Chicken Marbella recipe next. I need something new! And after that, Martha Stewart's recipe for banana bread.
I think the real test is can you get through a laundry basket without TV! I hate that chore. Hate.=\\
____________
I'm not fond of that, either, but I hate emptying the dishwasher even more. When I'm doing that I try to tell myself that I should just be thankful that I have a dishwasher!
Seattle yes I hate that chore too. I seem to hate anything where you have to put things away. I'll happily sort and put laundry in, but sorting it when it comes out is such a pain. It seems to take forever, and invariably there will be some impediment like we're out of hangers or I can't find the matching sock or something is still damp. And I hate how careful and slow I have to be when folding sheets, too time consuming. Sometimes I break it up by rack to make it more bearable lol. You know just do one rack then go do something else then come back for the others.
Yes having lived without a washer for years and years I am grateful. Sorta. :)
I still think it's funny their own attorney said what so many people here have been saying all along. What, you're doing a class action suit for say whaty-WHAT? What, THIS is bullying?
An outraged attorney is always amusing.
Outrage in general can be funny. If you want to hear outrage that will have you laughing so hard your belly will hurt, listen to John and Ken. Their podcasts are everywhere. Their outrage over the San Diego mayor's speech had me crying, they were in such shock and disbelief and they were laughing at the people in the background clapping. They called him a sociopathic narcissist. (Ah they're after our own hearts!)
Oh and they were outraged over Jon and Kate before it was in fashion. They compared them to the balloon boy guy. That was years and years ago!
...lol...when I saw someone upthread mention sweetbreads, I thought..yuck....but then I see you mean breads that are sweet, like loaves, sweet buns etc. I was thinking sweetbreads that are made with disgusting part of the cow, or lamb...
I much rather read about breads that are sweet! And the recipe that followed it did sure sound good :)
Ha Millicent!
Remember when every other recipe on Top Chef was sweetbreads?
Sorry Meagler! :)
W are all much more amazing than TFW. She can only fold laundry and watch TV. We do so much more while watching TV.
And then there's this: @xxxxxxxx: @Kateplusmy8 , your a great mom , have no idea how you do it all my yourself and what amazing me is that you feed them healthy too
Ummmm ( to paraphrase TFW) - All that sodium in the canned ingredients that she uses in her recipes is not healthy for anyone.
I'm still rooting for Walt.
Nj I'm rooting for Jesse :)
np Admin :)
How they ever came up with the term " sweetbreads" for the minced up unmentionable parts of the cow or the lamb, I will never know... but I guess if you called them glandular breads, no one would ever order or eat them@
I found out the hard way...in a fancy restaurant, that needless to say, I have never eaten in again!
I go back and forth Admin but Walt was so wonderfully Heisenberg tonight.
Stating the obvious ---- Love is in the Mix is nothing more than a vanity publication.
Also, tweets like the one about folding laundry convince me Milo is nothing more than a joke on TFW. Somebody is having a great time with this and as a bonus is making TFW look like a total buffoon.
Wowser,
Thank you for the info about your breads. I'm planning to make the poppyseed bread this morning. YUMMM
lol

***********************************************
I don't use Twitter or read her stuff other than here. Has anyone recently tried to make "bullying" (cough cough) comment lately and does she still block you? THAT'S where I find she is the most disgusting. If she still blocks innocent observations or "slightly" offensive tweets about HER but lets that GARBAGE about Jon, THE FATHER OF HER MONEYMAKERS stay on there, she is as vile as the words she allows to appear on her TL.
When you think about it, though, it's the fans who will be purchasing this book. Would they know (or really care) that it hasn't been professionally edited?
********************************************
I agree. What is clear to me is how far she's fallen. How many fans or people in general bought her MB book? To go from there to where she is now? People have seen the light

I'm so glad to know someone else feels the same way. I've thought for years that Milo was actually a very creative wolf ('hater'), disguised in sheeple clothing, having fun making TFW look like a fool. I LUV IT - especially since TFW and the sheeple seem to have no clue!
Grifting for Mady now, she mentions @ onedirection. Will she never stop?
