I just read
an article in NY Times that resonates with me and shows that abuse does start in the home. My kitchen behavior has a name and I am An Alpha Cook. I’m a mean boss in the kitchen and I must have learned it from my Father, b/c he’s the exact same way. Only he never actually cleans up his messes, as I do. Also the article mentions how the Coked For is supposed to pull out the marching band when the Alpha Cook serves the meal, which I don’t do either. But some interviews really remind me of how I speak to Allen when he’s in the kitchen making something to eat. Example: ““I’ll be standing there, sautéing onions, and I can feel him standing over my shoulder, staring down at the pot and gnashing his teeth,” Ms. Henry said. “He’ll say things like, ‘You should really turn that down now.’ ” Allen HATES when I do that.
You will need a NY Times login to read the article. If you don’t have one, you really should get one as it’s free and it beats the pants off reading The Austin Dumbnews Statesman every morning (or whatever local rag you get in your town).
Gosh, it's cold this morning. I love cold weather because I can wear one of my luverly sweaters and I don't have to iron my shirt. Yay no ironing!
