Um... I've been wondering that for months and months now and have been
afraid to ask. I guess she makes pig slop (???). I'm tired of WCPO
(channel 9 in Cincinnati) shilling her and the HGTV (Home & Garden
Television)/Food Network/SAH (Shop At Home)/GAC (Great American
Country/DIY (Do It Yourself)/Fine Living stuff.
