Just saw that. Conde Nast is also shuttering Modern Bride, another giant in its category.
Makes me feel a little bit like the baby sheep that just saw the coyotes eat the neighboring flock's senior members.

Maybe GRM could add a grassroots cooking column to pick up some of the displaced readers ...
Ok, maybe not.

...only if the recipes involved grilling things on a hot valve cover.

Except that you're not a baby sheep. Your a berkeleying mongoose, ready to tear the E36 M3 out of any coyote that makes the mistake of berkeleying with you.

With pep-talk skills like that, I believe you could even make me stop being afraid of spiders.
Okay, that's stretching it. But I feel ready to go kick some butt now!

I have to say that everytime I read Gourmet I had trouble relating to it. It just seemed like they went out of their way to feature the most obscure food and wines. Stuff that the eveyday folks, even those with exotic tastes, would have a hard time finding. Maybe a more "Grassroots" approach would have helped. Now Modern Bride.......

Does Modern Bride contain ANYTHING except advertising and the same 12 articles recycled endlessly with occasional minor updates? I mean seriously, how could that magazine have been anything but made of profit?
That's like saying Cathy Gusethwaite is going to stop drawing the Cathy comic strip because her overhead is too high.

Try Saveur magazine. I'm new to it and definitely not a foodie, real easy to read and enjoy.

I don't know many people that subscribe to those bridal magazines. When I got engaged, my fiance was immediately inundated with paper bags full of those phonebook-sized glossy ad books. Very little actual information, just pictures and pictures. The funny thing is they're still stashed in paper bags under the bed...I call it her bridal porn.

dont mongooses eat snakes?
I think a mongoose versus a coyote would be a good fight.

Gourmet magazine recipes always had ONE ingredient that was hard to come by; doesn't matter how basic the dish.
Have you seen The Incredibles? Margie's no mongoose, more a Jack-Jack. Hanging out going through life, things are laid back....
til you mess with the Mom!

In this case we are talking about a real mongoose and an imaginary coyote so it won't be a fair fight, I mean there is no way imaginary coyotes can be tougher than a king cobra. Go Margie-Tikki-Tavi!

I had the same thought but with a Wolverine instead. I haven't been subject to her displeasure yet but I expect the metal "claws" are there also
