I've mentioned before my family is a huge Alton Brown fan. (The kids totally LOVE his show, Good Eats).
The cool thing about Alton Brown is also that he would appeal to any frugalite (he makes beef jerky with fans and air filters - teehee - and does not recommend a lot of kitchen items that can't be multi-purposed).
That being said, he uses a lot of kitchen utensils we don't own (he is a professional)! So I am surprised it has taken this long, but dh just bought a stick blender.
Of course, the recipe that sold him was this one:
It's simmering on the stove right now. I'll tell you what we think later.
The piles of 5 star reviews look promising though.

BA - do you mean Food Detectives? Our other favorite as well...
Of course the Food Challenges are usually pretty intereting, and my personal fave lately is Ace of Cakes.
