The Delicious Dish: "Nobody can resist my Sweaty ..."



Margaret Jo McCullen: Hello. I’m Margaret Jo McCullen.

Teri Rialto: And I’m Teri Rialto.

Together: The Delicious Dish, on National Public Radio.

Teri Rialto: Actually, Margaret Jo, holiday time is when the most culinary wishes can come true. Now, what’s on your list this holiday season, Margaret Jo?

Teri Rialto: Ooooh, a funnel! That’ll be great for funneling!

Margeret Jo McCullen: I know. I feel like a glutton! What’s onyour list, Teri?

Teri Rialto: Well, I’m only asking Santa for one thing – a big box of glue traps to help me with my excessive rat problem? Are you, Margaret Jo, gonna leave any treats out for Santa this year?
