Or seen a run-down shack that looks like it was once a beautiful Victorian mansion?the host comes off pretty well on this show as a genuinely nice guy with real skills and good judgment. at one point he blows off steam hopping in his truck to do some dumpster diving around the hood and finding useable doors and fireplace mantles, thusly saving on a tight budget funds and keeping the materials real - not home depot junk.

The most powerful leader in the world had called upon me to speak on his behalf and help restore credibility he lost amid the failure to find weapons of mass destruction in Iraq. So I stood at the White house briefing room podium in front of the glare of the klieg lights for the better part of two weeks and publicly exonerated two of the senior-most aides in the White House: Karl Rove and Scooter Libby.
There was one problem. It was not true.
I had unknowingly passed along false information. And five of the highest ranking officials in the administration were involved in my doing so: Rove, Libby, the vice President, the President's chief of staff, and the president himself.

New Amsterdam Market—Chefs Needed!
If you’ve never heard of the New Amsterdam Public Market, there’s a good reason. It doesn’t exist—yet. This future market is the vision of founder Robert LaValva, an architect, city planner and Slow Food advocate, whose mission it is to create New York’s first indoor public food market dedicated to sustainably produced foods, sold by purveyors and sourced regionally. He describes it as a cross between Greenmarket and Chelsea Market, with a little of London’s Borough Market thrown in there too, and he’s rallying the city to locate the market in the former Fulton Fish Market space at the South Street Seaport, New York’s public market district since 1642. To generate buzz and give you a taste of what’s to come, he’s gathering producers and purveyors to hold a Wintermarket on Sunday, December 16th with a selection of wild foraged foods to artisanal cheeses, all produced or sourced within 500 miles of New York City.
Here’s where all you chefs come in. Robert is looking for chefs to prepare a seasonal dish, using primarily regional ingredients and offer small tasting samples during Wintermarket. The dish should be one that can be cooked at home and should come with the recipe. The idea is that folks attending the market will taste the dish and run around and buy the ingredients needed and head home to make it for themselves. They’re looking for dishes that use more economical or less popular cuts of meat, as one of our goals is to encourage a fuller appreciation for animals used for food. For more information on how to participate in the New Amsterdam Market please contact Robert at robert@newamsterdampublic.org.
