Well, if you do care, she did go on record for the Times to talk about this eight-year old story, where she basically said that "she did not leave Mr. Nederlander for the comedian. Her first marriage was irreparably broken, she said, before she met Mr. Seinfeld. She said that she and Mr. Nederlander had been having problems even before their wedding on June 13, 1998 — they were in couples therapy, she says — but she lacked the courage to leave him. Within two days of returning to New York from her honeymoon in early July, however, she began moving possessions from Mr. Nederlander's apartment to her grandmother's in Manhattan... On Aug. 7, Ms. Sklar was at the Reebok gym on the Upper West Side, wearing headphones and filling a water bottle, when she first met Mr. Seinfeld, she recalled." And yet the Times points out that "Ms. Seinfeld's account contradicts the unfolding of events as described in the news media at the time — namely, that she left her husband for the comedian — and which her own statements seemed to confirm." And they sorta get Jessica Seinfeld to 'fess up! She says to their questioning, "[W]hen columnists first asked about Jerry and me, overwhelmed and under tremendous pressure, I compounded the mistake. I denied the truth, naïvely trying to protect everyone involved, including Eric, from the pain of the break-up and from the embarrassment of public humiliation." Thanks, New York Times. We will certainly sleep better tonight now knowing about what two people say about their own marriage.

In addition to similarities between the recipes and cover treatments for both books, the Times reports that that Ms. Seinfeld's publisher, Collins, rejected Ms. Lapine's book proposal because it was "too similar" to another book on its list but agreed to meet with Seinfeld when she submitted her proposal two weeks later "because of her name and her agent: Jennifer Rudolph Walsh of William Morris" (Walsh, as you may remember, was the onetime agent of notorious coed cribber Kaavya Viswanathan):

Ms. Walsh described Ms. Seinfeld as "smart, stunning, and infinitely promotable" in a cover letter.

We were wary when we first saw Jessica "Mrs. Jerry" Seinfeld on Oprah last week, heralding the benefits of steaming and pureeing the shit out of vegetables and then "hiding" them in kid-friendly foods so that kids will stop throwing temper tantrums at the dinner table and actually eat their vegetables. Because if you steam and puree the shit out of a vegetable, does it have any nutritious value left in it? Especially when it's hidden in a brownie? We turned to Sarah Sliwa, a graduate student at Tufts University's Friedman School of Nutrition Science and Policy and all-around sassy chick, to help us unravel Seinfeld's "deception" and its potential for any and all deliciousness.

Picky eating is not unusual. Food jags — children's desire to eat only a few types of food — often set in around age two and can continue until a child is four or five. For this reason, experts recommend that parents introduce, and reintroduce and reintroduce, as many foods as possible when children are young, so that when the jags set in, odds are higher that children will fixate on at least some of the foods that parents want to be serving, which is why Seinfeld's approach of sneaking veggies into brownies doesn't sound quite right. Green, broccoli-coated chicken nuggets don't help kids like broccoli. They help kids eat green nuggets. This is exactly the point raised in a recent New York Times article about picky eaters.

Making healthier versions of popular foods isn't a bad idea. Substituting homemade foods for fast foods is appealing when the recipe is quick, involves few ingredients, and tastes good. But cooking vegetables to puree them in order to trick kids is less convenient. And there's something even more troublesome about using dessert, a meal accessory, as a vehicle for vegetables, a diet staple. If this is the point, Seinfeld's brownies are a Yugo at best: the half-cup of spinach and half-cup of carrots required for the recipe amount to a whopping 1/12 of a cup of vegetables per serving. When the recipe was analyzed using NutriCalc 2.0 it appears that each brownie yields 156 calories, 57% of which came from carbohydrates, 9% from protein, and 34% from fat. This is lower in fat and calories than a traditional brownie, but higher in both than most methods of preparing carrots or spinach. But does it taste like a brownie?

I had every intention of becoming an informed hater and make these terrifying brownies in the comfort of my own kitchen, but found myself without the time or energy to cook and puree. And I don't even have kids. God bless Oprah fans for having the time to roast, puree, bake, watch Oprah and post the results of their experiments in delicious deception on Oprah's website:

My 4yrold said the Brownies tasted like Dirt!

Brownies were awful... My family spit them out.

My brother (31) took one bite and practically gagged.

There is NO WAY these are the same brownies Oprah was eating on the show

The book's official website boasts that "Deceptively Delicious is a godsend for all parents who want healthy kids, peaceful family meals, and never again having to say, 'Eat your vegetables!'" Actually, the best way to get kids to hate beets is to keep telling them to eat them. I'm Polish. I heart beets. Beets are good. In soup. In a salad. With some goat cheese. Just keep them out of my cake.
