The Road is an important book, a big book, an Oprah book. It is now a Weinstein production, and soon we’ll be inundated with The Road publicity. As much as I like the book, I dread the movie. All reports are that it takes a book so hard to read into a movie that is miserably difficult to watch. Then again, it could be a great big fail and turn out to be just another zombie movie.

Thinking about this, I twittered my top ten recipes from The Road:

1. Lady Fingers
2. Hush Babies
3. Mock Roast Turkey
4. Nice Piece of Ass
5. Babyback Ribs
6. UnMystery Meat
7. Chewy Tubes Cormac n Cheese
8. Really Sloppy Joe
9. Meat and No Potatoes
10. Roadkill Haggis
