Chris, of the Chris & DeeDee Morning Show, made the most callous and insensitive of comments this morning when he compared the plight of the captured British soldiers to that of Katie Holmes because they were all “under the control of religious nuts”.  ARE YOU KIDDING ME?!

Momma called me yesterday to ask me who made the set of silverware she bought me.  I had no idea.  Then she asked if I liked my cookware.

YES, I said, I LOVE MY COOKWARE.

I REALLY love it now that I’m cooking.

Can I just say that I’ve had more fun cooking then I ever thought I would?  I like playing with food.  I mean, I’ve obviously enjoyed the eating part of food, but the making part had always eluded me.  Until I realized that I have a good eye for recipes.  Why?  BECAUSE I LOVE TO EAT.  So when I made stirfry the other night, I had an inkling to add a touch of liquid smoke and honey to the recipe.  It was fabulous.

My second favorite part of cooking?  Eating the leftovers for lunch the next day.  This is a money-saving venture in our house; we have made a pact that we will only eat dinner out on weekends, and will cook the other five nights.  Lunches are the same way.  And I love — LOVE — having a hot, home-cooked meal for lunch every day.

(I’m saying this over a bowl of reheated baked macaroni casserole that I kicked SERIOUS ass on last night.)

Top Chef, look out.  Sarah’s on her way.

Sarah is FREAKING tired.  She doesn’t feel like writing a long, drawn-out post today.  She just feels like talking in third person and making a bulletized list.  If you don’t like that, she doesn’t care.

• Sarah is hosting Book Club tonight.  Which means she’s got to scrub the house after work. 
• Sarah got to be the guinea pig for hair-hell last night.  It culminated with her sticking her head under Fantasy’s kitchen sink and scrubbing her head with Dawn.
• Sarah is excited about Pinocchio.  She has too much fun being onstage with her Best Man.
• SARAH’S MOMMA IS COMING HOME TONIGHT!
• Sarah is feeling MUCH better about work.
• Sarah pulled something in her right shoulder while working out this morning.
• Sarah is not fond of the “berry” flavor of Propel.
• Sarah is excited about the possibility of a jam session on Sunday.
• Sarah is amazed that her top search referral for this site is (unchangingly) “pekid”
• Sarah is sending a personal invitation to a performance of Pinocchio to a director who once told her she wasn’t good enough to do comedy.
• Sarah’s about done with this list.
• Sarah wants artichoke bruscetta.

There you go.  Sarah hopes it’s as fulfilling for you as it was quick and mindless for her.
