Rachael Ray won a daytime Emmy for her talk show.

I suppose this means that if I pack myself into a sausage casing,
affect a leering grin, bray heedlessly into the ether, flail my
hands
and arms hither and yon and behave like a idiot with my audience and
guests, I can be a star too!

I suppose.

oprah's got my back

ugh, at least that fundy bitch from the View didn't win.

I unintentionally got caught in the Daytime Emmy Awards traffic mess
in
Hollywood Friday. Going for lunch with a friend, and besides the
usual
Hollywood traffic and road repairs, it was just awful. Then we
discovered that it was Emmy Day. And we were going to lunch in the
Kodak complex on Hollywood Boulevard, where the show was happening
that
night. Finally got to the restaurant, not far from the "red carpet",
and while waiting for our orders two of the cameramen and the video
controller for the show, that I know from working with them, checked
in
to wait for a table. One of them thought my friend and I were working
the gig, too, and gave us some friendly shit about us old guys "still
working". Anyway, travel in that part of town was just impossible.
And it was about 100 degrees F with a bad air conditioner in my
friend's car.[1] Whew! Great salad, though. Oh, and the
girl-watching was just supurb.

[1]Around 6PM I saw a bank thermometer sign saying it was 111.



That sounds like fun well, but for the 111F part. I don't think I
could take that kind of heat.



Think of it as Cleveland at 90F and 95 relative humidity. :-)


Now, that's not very nice
back to cooking .... At least I could get my solar oven to work at 111F.

Believe me, I know. I lived in Cleveland for 43 years.

The past week in Phoenix has not had a day under 112°F. It is now 5:00
a.m. and it's nearly 90°F. already.

I think I will have a nice cold salad for lunch.

I don't know how you do it. While I really hate living here ... I'm not sure
that I would like living there any better. At least there isn't snow there.
Salad, good idea.

I spent 33 years in Michigan before moving to Hollywood. Some nasty
summer weather is a good trade off for your winters. We really only have
about a month of oppressive heat in the average summer; you have winter
too much of the year.
