contessa

The Ambassador was reliable, but maintenance heavy & the Contessa was ridiculously expensive to maintain.

Having sold our Contessa 26 last year for cheap, I can say it has been the happiest day.

Same thing with Ina Garten/Barefoot Contessa cooking videos.

At work I have a Teknion Contessa and I love it.

I am hoping that Contessa also comes back.

I bought one (not an Aeron, but a Teknion Contessa which I like better) for $300 from eBay and the proprietor brought it to my apartment at 9am the next day.

Or maybe go for some variations -- in addition to a Contessa (too sweet for me) you can look at the Hanky Panky, which is a delicious cocktail, and worth ordering just for the name.

Heh, this reminds me a bit of when on live television Contessa Brewer tried to dismiss Mo Brooks with "well do you have an economics degree?" and he actually did and responded with "Yes ma'am I do, highest honors":-D [1] I have no problem with (and have written a few) giant bash scripts, and I completely agree with you.

Why do they recommend the same five videos of a series (like Barefoot Contessa) over-and-over when I've watched them already?

As others have noted, without the Campari it's technically not a negroni - and you can try Aperol (makes it a Contessa), or being more faithful you could try another bitters.

Just walking through the local Target housewares aisle, I see Rachel Ray, Giada, Paula Deen, Barefoot Contessa, Bobby Flay, etc, all with their own brand of cooking accessories.
