MOUTH

I dislike the semantics of having an “open mind”. Doesn’t that, quite literally, mean that anything can go in and out? I don’t want that for my mind any more than I want that for my menu. I simply will not abide even a “devil’s advocate” argument on some subjects anymore because for me, wrong is wrong. I feel the same way about food. I’ve tried an impossibly large number of foods over the years. I will not even entertain the possibility of tasting some foods anymore. Grubs might be fantastic or even taste like my favorite stinky cheese, but I won’t be eating them, EVER. Call me closed-minded AND closed-mouthed in this respect. Luckily, this next show is wide open. Investigate…

THE NAKED

CHEF

Don’t you love it when a movie or tv show depicts the uninhibited excitement of cooking naked or with nothing but an apron on? Unless you subscribe to a raw food diet, I don’t recommend it. Mixing bowls: cold. Soup and/or bacon grease: very hot. Keep your apron on, my dears, and use this next call to be Un-Inhibited. It’s safer; just take my word for it…

SQUASHED

I think the teenagers that work at my local market think I am the crazy produce lady. It might have something to do with the muttering under my breath when they drop the pineapple on my tomatoes or the fact that I will stand in a longer line to get the cashier that won’t drop a cantaloupe on my cilantro. The muttering prevents me from coming unhinged. The only thing missing from the scenerio is my muttering “whippersnappers,” but I assure you it will show up eventually. Hehe. This next Call wants unhinged in a less curmudgeonly way, I suspect. You decide…
