The Galloping Gourmet ... what a hoot!

A friend just called and said that they are re-running Graham Kerr's show on Food Netword. I am definitely going to check it out. I loved his humor. The first time I watched his show, I wasn't certain if he was a comedian or a chef. I later accepted that he was a master of both crafts. I am an old woman now, but I learned something from Graham Kerr that has served well for many years. After one of his infamous disasters at the stove, he glanced at the audience and said, "I meant to do that." I am a seamstress and have borrowed that phrase many times. Like him, I have celebrated the beauty of the finished product and laughed at the convoluted process that got me there. A toast to the fab Graham Kerr.
