1. Why hasn’t SNL done a spoof of Rachel Ray yet? She is making something now called “Sunday Gravy Macaroni.” I am speechless.

2. Recently, I have noticed that the Food Network makes a point of showing the cooks washing their hands after handling meat. This is new. The Food Network equivalent of porn stars wearing condoms. Safe cooking.

3. Boss is currently out of town. Thus, Little Filthy and I spent a fair amount of time looking at each other with nothing to say. I did read him summaries of 7th Circuit opinions. He fell asleep. We are considering popcorn for dinner. And steak.

4. Christmas was here. There’s a full set of All-Clad pots and pans hanging in the kitchen. I may have to dirty a few of those in the name of dinner.

5. Recent events have me thinking about my relationship with Boss and our life together. We are living a charmed life and I am grateful for it. She came into my life and brought with her the answers to a lifetime of private whisperings I believed would never be realized. Never has life been so exquisite.
