For all those in the Philly area Robert is going to be at a food and wines fest in Oaks, Pa. Looking forward to seeing him there.

It's fall already and the pumpkins are showing up in the stores. That started me thinking, what ever happen to the Ciao, Italia! program? Was that ever aired? Did anyone see it?

I am so happy that you will be returning to Dinner Impossible, not to vilify any others work of course, but you were my favorite. I would watch you while I would wait for my husband to get home for college and even got him watching it. YA!! Congrats on the return and I can't wait to watch the new season.

I am so excited to know that you are coming back to Dinner Impossible! I have watched every episode and even my husband - who is not a foody loves you in that show. I simply can not wait for 2009. You absolutely made that show and it just wasnt the same without you. Congratulations to you Robert and many blessing upon you and your family.

I just found your blog after watching two new Dinner Impossibles with Chef Symon. I thought I'd give him a chance and watch more than one episode, but after two uninspired episodes, I'm giving up. He just doesn't have your talent and experience with cooking for large groups - and he has absolutely no talent for accomodating vegetarians or people who don't eat pork. You always came up with creative dishes for vegetarians. Honestly, I don't even think Chef Symon deserves to be an Iron Chef. I wish TFN would just do the right thing and have you back to do DI or some other show.

Good luck with future projects - I'll keep hoping to see you on TV again.

Hi Robert!

Loved the pics! I'm thinking about making this recipe. I don't like pumpkin or cranberries very well, unless they are in a baked product. I don't even like pumpkin pie that much. I make mine with brown sugar and lots of spices (cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger) to make it taste better, but I still can't eat more than half a normal sized piece. My dad eats pumpkin pie with cranberry sauce and whipped topping. Weird, huh?

I know you are probably thinking 'I see where her daughter gets her pickiness from.' and you're right: I used to be picky too. I'm a lot better now than I used to be.

On an earlier post I had mentioned a song I liked. I had the name wrong. It's 'Letters From War', by Mark Shultz. Doesn't really matter what it's called, I guess: it still makes me cry.

I'm looking forward to another newsletter. I would also like to print out the recipes on your blogs but my computer won't print the whole blog. I don't know if it's just my computer or the network. I really don't want to write out every recipe by hand.

Keep up the blogs, and let us know where you are going to be. Unfortunately, neither PBS channel on my cable network carries Ciao! Italia.

Your forever fan

Laura
