that annoying yum-o thing reminds me that i have to say dear lord, rachel ray is overexposed and irritating. if you type "rac" into the intuitive google tool bar it brings up rachel ray. not raccoon. not race. not racket or any other word that has been around way longer. a search for rachel ray brings up 2.3 MILLION hits (including some racy photo-shopped pictures - yikes). she has a talk show, several cooking shows, a magazine, a dozen or more cookbooks, and her face is on my triscuits. she uses white girl cooking slang like evoo (extra virgin olive oil, how hard is it to say?) according to rachel, her most trusted kitchen tool is her can opener. "i cut myself a lot--but not when i'm chopping. it usually happens when i'm holding a knife and talking with my hands!" ok now for my recipe. made up today and incredibly, made in UNDER thirty minutes! i know - they should give me a show! we'll call it "how to fight off your children while making a meal on a wic budget that must be eaten in under ten minutes before the baby needs his nappy changed." it's catchy!
