Eating: I made a delicious meal last night. I am very impressed with myself so I will share. Shake 'n Bake pork chops to which I added some Italian seasoning for a little extra taste.

And then one of the supermommies is murdered. Kate begins to investigate the murder and discovers the seamy side of the suburbs...
