Well, Jerry and his wife have finally responded to cookbook author Missy Chase Lapine's lawsuit.
Lapine sued the Seinfelds after Jerry went on The Late Show with David Letterman and said some rather nasty things about her, including calling her a "wacko" and suggesting she was a stalker (even making a joke about her having three names, like killers often do). This also stems from the incredible similarities between Lapine's hide-your-veggies book The Sneaky Chef (released in April of 2007) and Jessica Seinfeld's hide-your-veggies Deceptively Delicious (released in October of 2007).
The response from Seinfelds' attorneys says that his comments on Letterman's show were "overstatements of opinion for comic effect" and that Lapine's accusation of copyright infringement are "trivial and unprotectable aspects." Something tells me this fight is going to go on for a while.
If Jerry still had his show he'd probably do an episode based on this.

Didn't his wife Jessica find the recipes in an old armoire?

Yup, but that's where Jessica kept her copy of Missy Chase Lapine's book. :p

"You stole my recipes!"
"You are a wacko similar to famous assassins of history!"
I have a feeling this drama has been played out millions of times, in millions of communities. Ah, the cycles of human behavior.
