cc: Missoula County Health Dept



Dear Laney,

Not for the first time, I am relieved that the local health dept has no jurisdiction over our house. In our kitchen, the sous chef is 28 months old, which I'm sure violates some kind of labor law. She leaves no utensil unlicked, insists on cracking her own eggs (with varying results) and is philosophically opposed to pants. All of her baked goods are made with a warm heart and a naked heinie.

I'm reminded of the interviewer who asked Paula Deen, "What do you say to critics who say it isn't sanitary for you to be licking spoons, etc. as you cook?" And she replied, "The show's called 'Paula's Home cooking.' It ain't called, 'Paula's Restaurant Cooking.'"

But I bet even Paula, who seems crazy as hell, has sense enough to wear pants.

Love,
Mom
