GE+++
Good Eats		 Good Eats (GE) is the only cooking program that I go out of my way to watch.  Even repeats.  On weekdays, I usually schedule dinner around it.
AB+++
Alton Brown		 I have to look up to anyone who has more Hawaiian shirts than I do.  He is smart, witty, wacky, good looking, geeky and hyper.  What's not to like?  Well, we all can't be perfect.
W++
Equipment Specialist   		I like W.  She keeps Alton's feet on the ground.
Not to be confused with the buffoon, dubya.
MB - - -
Marsha Brown,
Alton's sister		 Alton should have a restraining order to keep his sister off the program and out of his life.
PM+
Paul Merchant,
Alton's gofer		 I like Paul.  He's a neat guy.  Able to handle Alton's oblivious abuse.
SC+
Shirley Corriher,
Food Scientist		 Shirley, like DD, helps keep GE above the host of mere recipe shows which permeate tv.
MFC+
Mad French Chef		 There is something very satisfying in seeing a pompous ass deflated.
DD+
Deborah Duchon,
Food Anthropologist		 Deborah, like SC, helps keep GE above the host of mere recipe shows which permeate tv.
?CR
Cousin Ray		 Somehow I missed him or maybe just forgot him.
CH
Chuck, butcher, etc.  		Weird guy.
e++
Equipment		 Like Alton, I like toys.  Especially "multi-taskers".
sc++
Salt Cellar		 I've kept kitchen salt in a small covered container for years.
pt+++
Probe Thermometer  		I've used a probe thermometer for years - since I found they were available.
rec
Recipes		 I have only make a few of Alton's recipes.  I believe his greatest contribution is teaching the science of food and cooking, using recipes as one of his tools.
?tg
Thanksgiving		 Missed the Thanksgiving episode.
?tf
Tofu		 Missed the tofu episode.
?FP
GE Fan Page		 Have not gotten around to it.
?FTV
Food TV Forum		 Have not gotten around to it.
!YC
yahoo club		 I do NOT yahoo.  I believe yahoo is aptly named.   In Gulliver's Travels, yahoos were shit slinging thugs.
!YG
yahoo groups		 I do NOT yahoo.  See YC above.
