- I was disappointed in this opening segment of yesterday's show. I found it predictable and rather superficial in its treatment of the subject. What I love most about "Sunday Morning" is its unpredictability, and the food issue is usually my favorite episode of the year. One of the most memorable segments I've ever seen on the show was the segment about Kramer knives that aired a couple of years ago during the food issue. I didn't expect such a segment. It was a fascinating piece. This is the sort of unpredictable story I hoped to see yesterday, but, overall, I found the episode flat and uninteresting. I hope next year's stories take us off the beaten path again.

- You really don't want comments, do you? It's so complicated to get to the right program. I don't want to comment on food but I'm tired of searching for a way to comment on your nature moment. We never miss this segment as it's usually brings a smile and a sense of all's right with the world after all. This morning, obviously someone's not very up on wild hogs. These may be treasured in Florida (I bet NOT!), but given the millions of dollars of damage they are doing here in Texas alone, the millions of small landowners and farmers they are devastating, well, POOR CHOICE! Nothing soothing or upbeat about this morning's segment.

- When the Food Network began, it WAS about learning to cook. Mario Batali and Emeril both helped me realize I could make awesome food at home. Then came the advent of the 'reality show' mentality, and it all went into the Dispos-al.
As I live in a small town, with little in the way of cuisine, if I want a good meal, it has to come out of my kitchen. The early foodie shows taught me not to be afraid of taking a few chances and learning new techniques. Being a 'Foodie' isn't only about the newest ice bar, but also about appreciating what goes into good food, and how to prepare it. - Reply to this comment

- They may be adventurous, but in our restaurant-centric culture, that doesn't seem to extend to the adventure of learning how to cook. There are abundant programs about restaurants, chefs, and the construction of "art cakes", but it's much more difficult to find basic instructional cooking shows. Contrast with the seventies, when cooking and serving the best food, not just finding it and instragramming it and eating it, was the hippest thing to do. My own daughter admits to looking up a recipe for hardboiling eggs, lol. Amusing, but at some point everyone needs to learn to cook their own food.
