Catsitting II

Fire seems under control, so I can write about frivolous things again.

Keely did a surprise trip home, and Traves is at a wedding, so I'm catsitting Nala again. Watching tv again. I've seen a few interesting things.
This morning there was a Blues Traveller show broadcast on one of the public access channels. Not sure why it fit their programming, but it was pretty sweet.
Rachel Ray. Yes, she's incredibly cute-sy and annoying. I remember when she first showed up on food network 2001 or so. She can't cook. Somehow she has become famous. Whatever. She was making sloppy joes, but the theme of the show was making lots of food to feed lots of (baseball playing) kids, so she called them Sloppy Joe Dimaggios. I thought that was pretty clever, actually. But then she revealed she was a fair weather Red Sox fan, and lost all of the goodwill she had accumulated.
The Carl's Jr, Padma Lakshmi ad is really good. I like her. Supermodel. She was on the food network when it first started. Not a great technical cook, but her food looked pretty good. She had a funny, semi-awkward tv style.
The Honda Insight ad is good, too. That's a nice looking car. The first time I saw a Prius I couldn't believe how ugly it was.

Watching Ingrid Hoffman's show right now. First time for me. She is Columbian; has a decent website. She is cooking with her mom on mother's day. Bueno. The arroz con leche looked great. Also the fried/smashed/refried plantains that Keely/Traves do. Good show.

Oh man, just went to the farmer's market, copious strawberries, and they are pretty good now. Almost didn't make it, Nala didn't want to let me go. Crawled into my lab and was purring up a storm.
