They say that one sign of a good cook is being a good eater. By that measure, I should be a very good cook. Instead, I'm a hack in the kitchen. Every meal I make starts with a package of boneless, skinless chicken breasts or a box of pasta (or both). One summer I got my roommate sick by cooking week-old chicken. I learned all I know about cooking from "The Frugal Gourmet" and "Great Chefs" on TV. (Those were the bad old days before Emeril and the Food Network...
There's something wrong when a $7 movie in the mall can leave you with post- traumatic stress syndrome. In the old days killers merely stalked and slashed and strangled. Today they flay their victims and stash the rotting, skinless corpses. Or they eat them filleted, with a glass of wine, or live and with the skin still on when there's no time to cook.

To reduce cholesterol, limit consumption of egg yolks, certain shellfish and organ meats...
...graffito on a truck sprawled by a desolate stretch of road in this low-budget Australian thriller. At first horrified glance, moviegoers may be convinced that the vermin have also inherited the movie industry. In The Road Warrior, cars crash, somersault, explode, get squashed under the wheels of semis. Skinless bug-eyed corpses hurtle toward the screen. A mangy dog sups at a coyote carcass. A deadly boomerang shears off fingertips, creases a man's skull. That's entertainment? As a series of isolated incidents, no; our nerve endings have long since been numbed by the movies...
