Smiling, Eyes Wide Shut
The picture at left says it all–smiling, eyes wide shut. Who needs reality when the world of my making looks so darn good? I’m my Mamma’s child, through and through…
These pics were taken by my ABC producer during this week’s Eat & Greet shoot. My little apartment is transformed into a studio for three hours–Klieg lights, wires, producers, cameraman, audio and interns– and I get paid to cook and eat. I sautee, sear and dice and thank my lucky stars. ”Dream job!” my thought bubble screams. I forget that I have no savings account, no mortgage, no husband–no security to speak of. It’s just me and a glass of Sancerre at the end of the day. And, you know what? I climb into bed and fall asleep smiling.
(yes, barefoot cooking is best…)

You should have your own show on the Food Network.

What does one need other than a glass (or two) of Sancerre? Security in a bottle, I say.

Would it be out of line for me to buy you an All-Clad, Bourgeat or Mauviel piece or two? Perhaps a nice sautoir?
Everything looks so beautiful except the cookware love. Although the red sweater and that smile steal the scene!

Whoa, whoa…I merely suggested a gift (or two) but registries?! I already have U.S. citizenship!
