that I've easily walked two or three full marathons.



Some people do not belong in the kitchen. I'm one of them. I try. Never turns out the way it's supposed to.
I'm absolutely amazed at people who can walk into a kitchen, open up the refrigerator, and create a feast without looking at a recipe.

I had an ex-boyfriend who had an aunt who cooked like that. Her parents came over from Italy, by way of Ellis Island. So you can imagine the food she grew up with. Incredible cook.

But her sister? Like me, run in the other direction when you saw her cooking. And it wasn't just that the food was bad, she wouldn't pay attention to her surroundings. She had about five rescue dogs.
We went there for Thanksgiving one year.
Guess what was in all of the food?

If you say 'dog hair,' you win the prize.

There was so much of it, you could pick it out of the food. Now that everyone who has read this is totally disgusted, I'll go burn some water in the kitchen.
