How sad.  People, like John, must have unhappy lives, be insecure, judgmental (well, I guess he showed us that) and just plain downright sour.  I feel blest....blessed??? to have stumbled upon the Pioneer Woman.  Her humor, very easy to follow recipes, wonderful comfort foods, everyday, no-frills way of cooking, way-with-words just brightens my day....for the life of me I cannot see how she can be taken as fake or phony.  It just seems that there always has to be someone to criticize, poke fun at, or tear down anyone who has a good outlook on life and family, is a success, and is loved by so many.  I, for one, am sad for John.....So, it looks to me like I'm a bit judgmental as well!!  But....I'm still glad the Pioneer Woman has come into my life!!
