Ravings of a Textual Deviant

This weekend, Fiancé and I did something we almost never do—watched TV. We had the food channel on, and were watching a show hosted by a well-known Southern cook. Her son was on the show, making deep-fried lasagna.

I didn’t even know I had Italian blood in my veins until I felt it run cold at that moment.

And that was before I found out that they didn’t use a single Italian cheese in the dish. (Cheddar, Gruyere, Swiss, and cream cheese??!?! Quello è colloquio pazzesco, miei cari lettori!)

I was so busy being appalled that I missed most of the next segment. I came to my senses just in time to see the host flour a barbequed rib and toss it into the deep fryer. The camera faded to black, then into the sponsor’s billboard…
