So FOC Ruhlman is at pains to tell you that you should knock boots while the chicken is a-roasting. William Alexander also mentions having sex with his wife during the quiet moments in the bread process. The Gurgling Cod endorses and approves of sexual intercourse of all forms involving consenting adults, but given the historical and current popularity of sex, it does not seem necessary to integrate it into instructions for roasting a chicken or baking a levain. When Martha Stewart tells you how to put an antiqued finish on an endtable, she does not need to suggest a ride on the ol' baloney pony while you wait for the first coat to dry.
The Cod will continue to do whatever it is happens here, but will limit the cooking sex advice to the following suggestion, the fruit of bitter experience of a friend who shall remain nameless. If a receipt involves cutting up Scotch Bonnet peppers, and you choose to beguile a subsequent period of marination by spending a quiet moment or two with the Athleta catalog, either remove the rubber gloves you were wearing while chopping habaneros, or put on a pair before you get started.
