DO NOT WATCH THIS VIDEO IF F-BOMBS OFFEND YOU!
the videos of this darling appearance are up and down all over youtube, but this link still works. check out sue simmons droppin' f-bombs HERE.
serious double-take time last night. the lovely sue simmons, who has worked for wnbc in new york for 27 years slipped up last night on live tv and the country is outraged, according to the forums all over the net. don't be outraged that our president is a mildly retarded war-monger, be outraged that sue simmons said f*ck on tv. i knew i loved this country for a reason.

Crazy Momma, 4:51 PM: It must have been really bad because your video is no longer available. I searched all over youtube.com and it says "This video is no longer available due to a copyright claim by a third party". It took me a while to find it but I did...

Is that any worse than Jane Fonda saying the "C" word?

Come on, people. There are bigger things to worry about.
tony a.k.a. isweatbutter, 8:50 PM: i almost feel like it was worse that the jane fonda incident. it's not even so much what she said, but the anger behind how she said it. i posted a new link, and if you search 'sue simmons curses' on youtube, you'll find some other viseos. but nbc is all over it, trying to make it go away.
Crazy Momma, 11:30 PM: I wasn't so sure it was anger...but I could be wrong. Often times I will say something similar in a similar way to my husband - all in good fun.

You could be (and probably are) absolutely right.

NBC wants this to go away (much like the Fonda thing) - can you imagine the fines they are going to get hit with?

the story behind ssp&e:

so i'm not sure if you're anything like me, but being the 'off the cuff cuisine' chef that i am, i try not to let anything go to waste. you know, when you bring home some bk or mickey d's, and after consuming your poor excuse for food, have ketchup packets or sauce shots left over that you throw in the door and forget about. same goes for chinese food, and you know they always give you enough sauce to put out a fire at the pentagon with your order. you throw them in your refrigerator door and forget about them. then one day you're trying to impress some last minute guests that have decided to stay at your place for dinner and all you have in your 'gourmet' kitchen are some ramen noodles, frozen veggies and some leftover grilled chicken from last weekend's cookout. the makings of a superb, on-the-fly stirfry. but wait, OH SHIT!, how are you going to make a sauce for your stirfry with no sauce? you look in the fridge and all you see is a bottle of ketchup, french's mustard (i use the term mustard loosely when describing french's), and a jar of pickle juice. oh no, what to do, what to do. then you bust open the butter holder, that invariably has never seen a stick of butter in it's life, and VOILA! soy sauce, duck sauce, hot mustard! packets, but instant chinkychow sauce nonetheless! each one of those packets, collected over time, came from a meal, inevitably eaten over conversation, an argument or during a lone lunch of self-reflection, came from a time and place in the past. as are our lessons learned. we learn through the years how to cope, how to inspire, how to teach, and how to live. we don't always remember those lessons, as we throw condiment packets in the fridge we throw life-lessons into the back of our heads, until one day we find ourself in a situation where it becomes relevant and we pull them from the back of our minds as to not waste the advice and lessons of the past. the moral of this story, and the linking of it to my blog- our life experiences are our 'soy sauce packets,' our hidden links to our experiences of our past...

e·piph·a·ny - noun - a sudden, intuitive perception of or insight into the reality or essential meaning of something, usually initiated by some simple, homely, or commonplace occurrence or experience. [www.dictionary.com]

the epiphanies that we experience in life, questions or situations that we find ourselves in, and don't know how to resolve, can most often be solved my raking our brains in search of a 'soy sauce packet.' an answer to a question. a solution to a problem. and so this, this blog, is simply an ever-expanding culmination of soy sauce packets in my butter box, and the epiphanies that have helped to make room for more butter in my fridge...
