Hysterical Housewife

There is a moment when, frankly, you realize how ridiculously excited you can be about little things and despite the awareness, you just go on and don't even bother to hide under the couch. Worse, you may actually want to write about it - in a blog, of all places.

Ts, ts, ts. Ridiculous.

I mean, no matter how much you love Nigella's no fuss recipes and hands-on approach to food and meals in general, who would start screaming and jumping up and down because she found out that there is an application that just came out based on the quick recipes of her Nigella Express book? Who would do such a thing? I wonder... Certainly nobody in their right mind.

Certainly not.

And I can just picture that person, with a hysterical smile painted on her scarily hilarious face (yes, I assume it's a woman, men have become desperate these days), clicking furiously around the iTunes store ("Why is the Internet connection suddenly sluggish?"), frantically looking for the miraculous little gadget that will give her a sense of security and goddess-like accomplishment - I mean, how can you starve with so many fun recipes to hand (or rather, to finger)?

Nonsense.

We can just go on and on and daydream about the doings of this mysterious feminine character, totally infatuated with the novelty of it all - an iPhone App, can you imagine?? - and just picture her astonished reaction when discovering the content of it all: bright colors, gorgeous pictures, a well-known voice, video bits here and there to put you back on the right track, comforting settings and above all, totally user-friendly navigation in what will soon turn into a portable little kitchen.

(Should have invested in the App right away instead of waiting 5 months for the real-McCoy kitchen to be up and running, just a hysterical thought.)

You know, that's the kind of person who had probably been dreaming for ages that some magic hand would automatically export a list of ingredients out of any recipe she was contemplating to cook and import it in the grocery list she was making. Obviously that person has got to have a lot of spare time to think about such trivialities.

No, really.

Well, the magic hand has appeared and of all hands it is Nigella's! WOW, that's when the housewife App buyer bowls over and sprawls on the floor laden with happiness and showing all the ominous signs of the overwhelmed and self-declared kitchen slave. All toes wiggling. The new version of the Joker is born.

Beware.
