I have nothing interesting to say today, so I'm going to share a historic idiot moment with you, courtesy of yours truly:
I didn't really start cooking until I was about 27. Prior to that, the only show I watched on FoodNetwork was Racheal Ray. My mom LOVED the Barefoot Contessa. So, for one Christmas in my early twenties, I decided to get her a Barefoot Contessa cookbook. At B&N, I perused all of her cookbooks, and was so confused. Why was this woman always cooking "In a Garten"? You know...like Barefoot Contessa Parties...In a Garten, and Barefoot Contessa at Home...In a Garten. And why did they spell "garden" like "garten"? Was the Barefoot Contessa German? Why the hell was she always entertaining "in a garten"? It wasn't until I was checking out when it hit me...her name is Ina Garten. I was so embarrassed at myself, I blushed on the spot.
I swear, I'm fairly intelligent.
Hahaha! I would do the same thing!
ReplyDeleteI know, I remember the day you put a J.Crew credit card into a Shell gas station pump, and got upset it wouldn't take it! Classic memory, OND! I did feel so embarrassed at that moment (my moment, not yours...during your moment, I just laughed).
ReplyDeleteThank God I didn't ask the employees for help!
