Actually going to pull out an old Jeff Smith cookbook to see how to do salted eggs. In a odd way this will trump the Oscars. Ain't gonna watch the Oscars got too much odd reading to do.
A little trivia about Jeff...the following from the Seattle Times, July 10, 2004, Judith Blake, Seattle Times Staff Reporter...
Jeff Smith, the once-celebrated "Frugal Gourmet" TV chef who fell from grace, was a hard man to peg.
To some, the Seattle-based Smith, who died Wednesday, was a "genius" of food and the culture surrounding it. His high spirits, acts of generosity and stalwart friendship, they say, were the true measure of the man.
To others, he was a tyrant of the public-TV production set, a tireless self-promoter and a chef of mediocre culinary talent.
He was accused in three lawsuits of sexually abusing some of the young men who worked for him, ending his television career in the 1990s.
When Mr. Smith died, at age 65, those questions still surrounded him.
