Lindsey is on vacation, lucky duck

Speaking of duck, I’m a lame one when it comes to anything food-related. I’m one of Lindsey’s guest bloggers this week while she’s out.

My name is Wendy Maxey and I work as the online entertainment editor of roanoke.com. You might remember me from the “American Idol” blog I ran during the latest season. I think some of you folks even said we were a little “too serious” over on the “Idol” blog. :-) Maybe so, but I doubt I’ll be very serious on this blog as I know very little about food. (I eat instant oatmeal for breakfast everyday.)

This is exactly what Lindsey said to me before she left: “Maybe you can blog about what it’s like to be cooking-disabled.” So, that’s what I’ll do this week. Fortunately for loyal readers, there are other guest bloggers who know a lot more than I do, so don’t worry too much.

    Don’t worry Wendy! I’ve been known to eat instant oatmeal or cold cereal for dinner myself. I much prefer to have someone cook for me, even if it means I have to wash the dishes afterwards!

    Oh hi Wendy! Good to see you in cyberspace again.

    Remember that show on Food Network…’How to Boil Water’.

    Maybe Lindsey can put on one of those for you.

    Don’t worry, I cook a lot and still tons of times I feel cooking-disabled. Especially when I am reading a recipe and they tell me to use a method or ingredient that I have never heard of. A lifesaver for me is allrecipes.com – they have a “Cook’s Dictionary” and videos on how to do things like “Grill Pizza” and “Make a Marinade” or “Make a pie crust.” Really helpful!

    Hi Wendy! I see my comment about your bloggers being to serious lives on. You guys will never let that one go. I liked your blog too I just thought you got a little beat up by your bloggers for sharing the truth about Taylor Hicks getting dropped by his label. Hope you’re having fun with the food stuff this week!
