Zombie Streep WTF?

I am choosing to treat this as a deliberate attempt to fuck with the Cod's head. We all breathed a sigh of relief when the Academy came to its senses and did not give the Best Actress award to Meryl Streep for her cack-handed impression of a 20th c culinary giantess. Streep followed up the J n J action w/ It's Complicated, a film targeting the handful of Americans for whom the prospect of watching Alec Baldwin and Meryl Streep having sex is not guaranteed to make their manly parts flaccid and their womanly parts arid. Evidently, to promote the DVD, the geniuses at Universal are dropping a recipe on the Facebook page for the film every week. Evidently, having done a criminally bad job of playing a great chef means that cooking is now part of the Streep "brand."

And the recipes. Well, there's the croque monsieur w/ mozzarella and basil, but I haven't tried any. Be careful if you do, b/c it looks like someone is working on a deadline. The roast chicken with gravy calls for a "6.6 pound chicken," suggesting 1) a bigass chicken, and 2) someone converting from metric (3 kilos), and not done much else to test the receipts.

Fortunately, John McEnroe is here to communicate my reaction:

I know that chicken -- it stole my lunch money once.

I'm looking forward to the lobster ravioli recipe: "First, boil a 14-pound lobster..."
