The Pioneer Woman Cooks – Plowing through life in the country….one calf nut at a time. – http://thepioneerwoman.com/cooking/ – The pioneer woman not only cooks, she confesses, photographs, gardens, homeschools and entertains.  She freak’n does everything – I hate her.  Actually I’m jealous of her. I don’t read everything she writes, God only knows how she has the time to do everything, then write about it.  Her pictures are the best.  She has great stories with very complete recipes and interesting topics.  I don’t want to look at her picture.  I’m happy with the image I have of her in my head.  A blue suit and red cape with a yellow/red S on the chest.
