My love affair with watching America’s Test Kitchen<\/a> (otherwise known as ATK) has significantly increased my waistline and taken 30 minutes out of each of my Saturday mornings.\u00a0 Only because I\u00a0now distinguish between the run of the mill products, methods and recipes and the superb, life changing, scream for more goodness than I ever have before.\u00a0 Maybe I’ve been forced into public television (it’s on PBS folks) and there are better shows on cable networks\u00a0but I can without a doubt say I subscribe to ATK and some of the recipes I’ve tried have put me over the top in my convictions.\u00a0 Below is one\u00a0you must try.\u00a0 I repeat, YOU MUST TRY.\u00a0 If not, come over to my house and I’ll whip up a batch.\u00a0 I need someone there so that I don’t devour all 12 of these little devils in one sitting.<\/p>\n
