This episode was recorded in the before time - before all our lives were turned upside down. It was the end of January and it was just a normal episode that producer/husband didn't get around to posting right away because he came down with the flu the next day and was out of commission all February. There might be some singing on this episode, and he planned to put it to music, but finding that spare hour wasn't meant to be, so the episode is presented au naturale. Meal planning is discussed, and the ladies explore why wives can bitch about husbands, but not the other way around.
