Arizona foodie Robin Miller is a chatty Kathy. It’s irksome. The cutie-pie host of the Food Network’s Quick Fix Meals With Robin Miller can talk your friggin’ ear off, though – granted -- it is hard to imagine a cooking show hosted by a sullen chef with a speaking disorder. But the Perky One’s loquaciousness even spills over to her book titles. To wit, her latest, which she’ll sign at Sur La Table: Robin to the Rescue: Quick & Simple Ideas for Delicious Home Cooking, an Essential Guide for Getting Weeknight Meals to the Table Without Fussing, Stressing, or Spending a Lot of Time Doing It. Holy crap, hon, we could’ve cooked a pot roast if we had that kind of time.
