I watch the Food Network on television more than I care to admit. Watching people I don't know cooking food I can't eat has become my drug of choice. I figure it's better than booze, better than cocaine. I think watching TV Food has something to do with repairing wounds from childhood, with seeing a kitchen where no one fights and every dish turns out perfectly, my antidote to everything imperfect in the world. There is nothing I like doing more at the end of my workday, before I step into my own kitchen to prepare a meal, than watching TV Food. It's where I learn easy recipes and arcane information--that male eggplants are far better than females, for example, and that you can tell a female by the little dimple at the bottom of the eggplant. Knowing this kind of thing makes me feel smug and superior to Mr. and Mrs. Ordinary Shopper.
