Seriously? You've got to be fucking kidding me... Then the camera cut away and I saw that I was watching OPRAH...I immediately turned off the tv and sprayed myself in the eyes with windex while searching for cyanide tablets...which I unfortunately was unable to find.

Perhaps enlightened self-interest. That's better anyway. I think the only reasons our dining bill isn't that high are that we will eat leftovers and we often dine out for $20-$30 (four the four of us). And we do cook occasionally -- I don't mind grilling.
