Maybe I should do a cooking show.

It would start off around noon with me sticking my head in the freezer to see what
sort of meat there is to take out and thaw. Then it would shift to about an hour
before dinner .... cocktail time,... when I stick my head in the fridge to see what
sort of veggies there are that would be good to go with it. At that point I can
make an informed decision about what I am going to make. And then I know whether it
is something that I should get started on so that I can sit down and have a drink,
or if I should sit down and have a drink before coming back to throw something
together.

Sounds a bit like Nigella, but she gets away with it because of her
looks! Are you darkly handsome and willing to stare in a sultry fashion
at the viewers?

No prizes for guessing the only TV cooking show hubby watches of his own
volition!

I saw this for the first time this evening. What a riot! Whatever cold medicine
they had her on at least slowed her down a little, so she wasn't as annoyingly
spastic as usual. The dress was awful -- loved the way they had to keep cutting
to a different camera angle because the screen was filled with sleeve and you
couldn't see the food. That tablescape was a riot. Yeah, I'm sure you thought
of Shakespeare as a theme for your picnic and that caused you to drag heavy
library-style furniture into a park and then set a poetry book on fire. And
isn't it illegal to cut flowers in a park? Not to mention unsanitary if you
use them as a garnish.

That trench-cake was absolutely hilarious. Of all the times that it would have
made sense to put the filling INto a plastic bag to pipe it INto the cake. But,
no, there's SL, smearing it in with two serving spoons. What an idiot.

I still can't get over her burning poetry books to make napkin holders and
not only hanging on a tree, but putting lit candles in that chandelier.

I didn't see the show, and I can't argue about her burning poetry books,
but we did have a crystal chandelier for many years in which we always
burned candles, along with matching wall sconces and candleticks. The
totally candlelit dining room was lovely, and it was always safe.
