Wow, wow, wow! So exciting! Congratulations to Mrs. W and melissav. Amanda and Merrill, you were seasoned (no pun intended) pros.

I think both winning recipes should go into the cookbook. You both thought they were excellent so it would be a win, win for everyone.

The whole behind the scenes and on-camera vibe matched perfectly. Loved being there & watching you both. Al Roker, in addition to being a great stuffing mixer, truly enjoyed eating once the segment was done - as well as Ann Curry and everyone else. They all ate heartily, at 10am. Brava.

I love this idea but I think there should be a runner up section in the cookbook for all the second place winners. They are all top rated and are very exciting.

Thank you for the suggestion. We've actually talked about this. It's always difficult for us to deal with the fact that one of the two finalists won't make it into the book. We'll let you know if we come up with an idea on this front!

I think that having both the winner and the runner up is a good idea. You two have the talent to ferret out the two best recipes and the rest probably has become a popularity contest. (check out how many people are voting lately).

Thanks everyone for your comments! We had so much fun. The Today Show kitchen is like a playground -- they have every pot, pan, baking dish, platter you can imagine, in every size and color. And their stylists, Bianca and Lish, thought through everything -- when exactly we might need a kitchen towel, when we'd be reaching for a serving spoon. We loved seeing how it all works behind the scenes.

And Al Roker was a great stuffing mixer! Everyone couldn't have been nicer to work with.

While I was disappointed to see that Amanda did NOT wear her hat, I must say that the two of you did a terrific job, and I am so proud of Mrs. Wheelbarrow and Mellisav for crafting such great recipes!

I feel so proud! You two held your own in front of the camera. I think you should get your own show.

It was so much fun to see you both on TV this morning. While I was absolutely gobsmacked to see my stuffing stirred by Al Roker, my husband was even more thrilled. He's been calling all his friends to say he was "mentioned on the Today Show."
