On her podcast, which was likely prerecorded, Ray said she had to avoid her usual household chores due to an injury
Rachael Ray wasn’t able to do her favorite household tasks after an injury.
On the first episode of her new podcast, I’ll Sleep When I’m Dead, Ray, 56, told guest Jenny Mollen that she had a few “bad falls” that kept her from working around the house.
“I really like chores,” said Ray. “I like what people consider physical work. I like making dinner, planning dinners, making lists. I love physical labor, helping carry in the wood.”
“I’ve had a couple of bad falls in the last couple of weeks, so I haven’t been doing that in a while,” she continued.
The episode aired on Oct. 22 but was likely recorded in advance. Ray appeared in good spirits at the Food Network New York City Wine & Food Festival a few days earlier on Oct. 18 to host her annual Burger Bash event. There, she took the stage with her husband, John Cusimano.
She hosted the event on stage and helped announce the winner of the annual burger competition. “Thank you all for coming out,” she told the crowd.
