Crush on Chef Michael (ponytail) Dixon Smith

Okay I'll admit it. I have a crush on Michael Smith. It started Friday night caught my first Chef at Large reruns. Maybe we can get him to come to Woonsocket and I'll bake him my sourdough or give him my olive oil mashed potatoes. And he has a ponytail. Bill says he doesn't have a pony tail anymore. The crush has ended.

"I could marry a man with a pony tail," I say and we both laugh. (My husband Bill has a ponytail!)
