More About Television Show

Continue to develop idea for own Food Network show. Can't think of title of show but content would be devoted to single person meals--i.e. the odd things one comes up with when one makes meals for oneself. Like a can of soup and some fresh greens thrown in at the last second. This is on the healthy end, but would also like to explore Bacon. For example, The Day of Bacon: Cook pound of bacon in morning. Have three or four strips for breakfast. Do research on curare via internet to be used in Murder Mystery and think about bacon. (what is Bacon exactly?)Work self into frenzy of hunger. Have very satisfying midmorning snack of bacon accompanied by hunks of cheese torn off the block. At eleven thirty, prepare skimpy BLT. Regret using bacon for midmorning snack. Eat BLT. Feel marginally sick but sad that bacon gone. Not sure how this sequence would be filmed. Am alarmed at costume choice of host (me). Pajama bottoms and oversized shirt with ink stain not suitable. Think up title for show, "Single Secretary Meals," but reject immediately. This sounds like the most depressing show possible,and want to shoot self for thinking of it. Title indicates future filled with many cats. On Memorial Day went to barbeque at friend's large house with a backyard in Brooklyn. Was enjoying self immensely until another guest leaned over to me and said,
you would never know there are twenty five cats here. At the time was gripped with terror at the thought of being pounced on. Remember and feel terror all over again. Check under desk to make sure there is no Cat. Mind set at rest but am alarmed to discover that though thought process runs far and wide in its unfruitfulness, it frequently dead ends in paranoia. This is what comes of having too much time to Think. Look over at the contessa who is, herself, lost in thought, chewing on pen. What are you thinking about, I ask. The Contessa gives me a firm look, "Oh, Mormonism." The minds of co-workers inscrutable, at best.
