Finding Bliss in the Kitchen

Except for that fake driving test. Who among us does notagree that was time well-spent?

Today, however, I would like to pass along a tip that thoseof you who are culinarily inclined or just obsessed with Top Chef will find actually serves a purpose. (How weird was thePee-wee Herman episode, by the way?)

Now if I were about to share a recipe with you, you’d beright to distrust it. Before Jenny came along and saved me, I subsistedprimarily on whatever foodstuff I could cram into my George Foreman Grill. Ithink there was like a six-month period where I wasn’t so much eating meat as Iwas chowing down on loosely formed patties of grill residue.

That’s why I’m recommending you leave this blog and go checkout my sister-in-law Susan’s at http://blissinthekitchen.blogspot.com/.Susan is a trained pastry chef and the head baker at Au Bon Pain in LakeForest, Ill. She just started her blog to share everything from recipes and hercurrent food obsessions to some pretty kickass food photography that she does.All in all, it makes things like this pale in comparison:

OK, so that’s still mildly amusing, which is why I hope thatdespite my request that you temporarily depart from the dining room office, youcome back again soon for all your less-than-essential information needs.

In the meantime, take a lap around Bliss in the Kitchen. You just might learn something, and as we’vediscussed, that’s one area where I’m afraid I’ll never be much help.
