    Going on a cooking show cruise would definitely be in my bucket list.  Jerry, however, would tell me "to change the channel".  Good thing he leaves for work at 3:15am.  I spend the early morning hours catching up on all of the food shows.  He always says, "why do you watch, you can't eat half of what they make?"
