Law and Order and Pot Roast

by Lessa

Today started with a little clip of Law and Order’s Mariska Hargitay grilling Rachael about the show - it was a cute clip, and fun. Right afterwards, it’s a February Favorite give away, and the whole audience got a Pinnacle PCTV HD Pro Stick for watching TV on your pc - hit up the giveaway button for a chance to win your own!

Then Mariska joins Rachael at the kitchen table, where Rachael is a bit of a fangirl - ok, a lot of a fangirl, but who are we to judge, I’d be that way in front of some stars too!

Turns out that Mariska isn’t a lot like Olivia at all - where Olivia is a tough cookie and very intense Mariska is a total jokester and laughing. She jokes that her friends don’t know how she got the job at all! She tells everyone that the cast is very cut up at work, and they have a lot of fun laughing between takes. It helps them deal with the serious subjects that they have to deal with on the show.

She dishes about her family life a bit, and how hard it is to watch her baby suddenly call her “mom” - (I can totally relate. Mine are dangerously close to saying “Mom, can I have the keys?”). Her husband is the cook, and even greeted her from the last trip she took with Hillary Swank with a decorated house and dinner party that he’d put together himself! Awww…

The feedback that she’s gotten from law enforcement from the show makes her happy, and gave her a reason to give something back to the community. She started the Joyful Heart Foundation for victims of sexual assault.

On a lighter note - Mariska is the voice for the new Johnson’s Baby Massage webisodes! How cute! She also sells shirts at Mariska.com - check it out!

The interview shows what we love about Rachael - it was a couple of girlfriends chatting, joking and having fun at the kitchen table. Some people hate that - I think it’s fabulous!

Then, buddy Jarod Miller is back again for a new game - Name that Noise. Not nearly as frightening as ‘touch something poisonous’ and Rachael even survived having a Sugar Glider on her back. Haha!

What’s for dinner? Weeknight Pot Roast.
