Wanted: Housewife
I have completely lost my cooking imagination.
For the past month or so, I've been rotating the following foods when I eat at home.
1) cinnamon toast
2) romaine lettuce
3) avocado
4) bacon
5) eggs
6) whole grain bread
7) PB&J
8) grape tomatoes
9) red, yellow, orange bell peppers
10) fresh jalapenos
11) popcorn
12) Irish butter
13) smoothies (frozen fruit, yogurt, splenda, some water)
14) bananas
15) assorted seasonal fruit
That's pretty much it.
I need a silent ghostlike wife to do all my menu planning, grocery shopping, cooking, iron my shirts, quietly leave, and then return the next day unobtrusively.
Oh, and change my oil and lube my chain.

Oh hey! You have a quiche (if you care to make a pie crust)!
bacon, avocado (chopped, on top), tomato (chopped, on top), peppers with egg/milk custard.

I live too far away to oil your chain, but here's a menu suggestion:
Buy some challah bread
Cut into 1" slices
Make French toast with it
(Add a little cinnamon & nutmeg to the eggs for extra flavor)
Enjoy with yer choice of syrup or sugar
Be happy
Awesome taste guaranteed!

Ooh, I haven't had french toast in ages! Must make some this weekend.

That sounds like it should be a euphamism for something. :)

Darkneuro, at my current energy levels, the closest to a quiche I can get is an omelette. And that entails chopping vegetables. Exhausting.
Joe, you're right, french toast sounds tasty!
I used to make what I call challah brulee french toast.

I thought that when I hit "publish".

This post reminded me of this classic of feminist writing by Judy Brady that I had to read in college.

Yeah, I thought about that essay, too.

Hm, the transcription on that web page, I'm noticing, is really poor. Sorry about that. Couldn't find any official ones.

I think what I really want is a zombie slave. A wife or a regular slave needs some minimum amount of attention, and I'm not willing to give even that. A zombie slave has the additional benefit of security; it'll scare off anyone trying to break in.

Yeah, but then you have to worry about finding gooey zombie bits all over the place. What you really need is a robot slave.
