give peas a chance

this morning, i received this in my inbox:

Dear MEAGAN,As a reader of Domino we'd like to give you the opportunity win the internship of a lifetime and be published in JANE magazine! Subscribe to JANE and automatically be entered to win a week at Charm City Cakes in Baltimore, home to Food Network's hit show Ace of Cakes, where you'll learn all about what it takes to create extreme cakes.

seriously. what part of that sounds like fun? why, if i actually do desire to be a domestic diva, does this hold no interest to me? why do i continue to blatantly refuse to learn how to cook? why do i make lavish hors d'oeuvres yet continue to serve my family boxed pasta? why can't i just enjoy the beauty in my stove? the art of cooking? oh, why...
