The Domestic Goddess Is Back

The only man who's ever told me to lose weight was a boyfriend I had who turned out to be gay.

I so feel you, Nigella.

My favorite [British] home cook and food writer is back on The Food Network, and this time she's cooking fast (what a concept!) on Nigella Express.

I, for one, am ecstatic. I fell in love with this woman the first time I saw her on Nigella Feasts. There's just something so damn sexy about the way she dips a blanched asparagus spear into a soft-boiled egg yolk and raves about it while chewing with her mouth open. Or the way she slips on her robe and climbs into bed with a big bowl of pasta. And then there's the accent, of course.

So why don't more people know about this woman? Maybe it's because her show airs at 10:30 a.m. on Sundays. I must admit, I was too hungover yesterday to wake up in time and I'm probably one of the few people left in this country without the benefit of DVR. Luckily, the recipes from the show are posted on Food Network's Web site along with Nigella's intimate descriptions. Next time I'll have to catch her on the telly.
