I Won His Heart at the All-You-Can-Eat
Before my metabolism decided to betray me, I used to pride myself on how much I could eat. So when my now husband, then acquaintence, and I went out for our first meal together, I wanted to know what he was made of. He had asked me to have brunch at a restaurant that is known for its terrific live jazz music, and more importantly, its magnificent buffet brunch. PERFECT. So as soon as we sat down, I challenged him to an eating contest. He’s 6’2″ and 190 lbs. I’m 5’4″ on a good day and onehundredandsomethingerotherp
It. was. ON.
Waffles and fruit compote, omelettes and taters, bacon and sausages, tortellini, lasagna, forget the salad, roast beef, mashed potatoes, plate for plate I matched everything he ate, and while I’m pretty sure he was trying not to look disgusted, I kept shovelling food into my mouth, so much that I was about to tap out because I could feel my stomach about to explode – and suddenly, he said those magical words “YOU WIN.” I didn’t know if he just couldn’t stand to watch me eat another bite, or if he was truly giving in, but when he asked for a rematch, it was a good excuse to see him again 😉

Daytime Ottawa Appearance – Rogers Television
WHOA! That was absolutely the most fun 7 minutes I’ve had in a long time! Thanks to Rogers Television and the lovely Lois Lee and Joanne Jordan, hosts of this great morning show, for having me in their kitchen for A Jock’s Guide’s first live television appearance.
We made my Grandma Franz’s famous German Pancakes and yes, as usual, there was a little mayhem in the kitchen. Lois was having so much fun that she dove right in without plugging the funnel hole first and the batter went all over the place! It was still so delicious and she was such a great sport!
When I arrived at the studio that morning, they led me straight to my “stage kitchen” with little reminders of what was for show and what was for use. The fridge, sink and oven were just for show and the stove-top range was “temperamental”. I liked hearing this because if you know anything about me, or my show, you’ll know that I welcome mishaps in the kitchen. How would I weasel my way out of this one if the stove-top didn’t work? Luckily it did, as you’ll notice my little celebratory “YES” and double fist pump, at the 1:10 mark of the video.
Who would have thought that little ol’ me in the kitchen would be cooking live on television and not only that, but would be invited to return again to their Daytime Show! Rogers loved having me almost as much as I loved being there. I can’t wait to go back.
Ahhh… I’m such a happy cook. Thank you so much to the Rogers Television family for welcoming a new edition.
Love,
The Jock.
PS: Thank you to Derick Fage and JF Dufault who had a special hand in making this day possible!
