putting my own spin on things

I didn’t really have anything to write about today so I logged into wordpress to see if I had anything saved in my Drafts folder I could run with. Instead, I’m pleased that I can share this gem with you:

“Dear Ina Garten,

I never miss your shows, and even watch reruns. I would like to know the brand name of your juicer if possible. I love the clean lines and style of it and especiall love how when finished, you can flip up the spout so no runs. Eaferly awaiting your answer, I remain your fan for life,
Spam-I-Am?, [email address redacted]”

I’m honestly not sure if this is spam or not. There are no links, just an email address. There is what one can ostensibly assume is a full name. However, this does make me feel like perhaps I need to clarify something. I am not Ina Garten. Aside from the fact that I’m almost 35 years her junior, I am also not a cookbook writer or a “Barefoot Contessa.” Sorry for the mix up, I hope this clears everything up.
