Miss Ronnie is a happy girl. For her birthday she made out like a bandit, getting three statues of pleasantly plump individuals- an Indian Buddha, a Chinese Buddha and a cookie jar resembling a chubby Billie Holiday.

Pictured here is our very own Miss Ronnie holding her precious cookie jar like a infant. She is one proud momma.

Ronnie discovered this unique store in Chicago named Jazze Junque that sells vintage cookie jars and salt & pepper shakers. Naturally, we just HAD to pull her cookie jar out of lay-away and give it to her as a birthday present.

Today’s show begins with a bonding ritual I saw on TV. When Hillary Clinton went on the Oprah Winfrey show to promote her book “It Takes A Village” she said that one of the joys of her family was when she, Bill and Chelsea opened up a coconut.

So when Marc and I were shopping for groceries at our local Mexican/Greek grocery store, we were delighted to find some freshly husked coconuts just begging to be on our show.

I didn’t realize how brutal the process of cracking open a coconut would be, especially when you involve Miss Ronnie. In many ways it reminded me of some savage ritual where we all would be drinking the blood of our enemies out of their skull.

Crispy, crunchy and full of nuts- Feast of Fools.
