Talk about a recipe for disaster!

Take one Long Island housewife, add three kids, an ex- husband from hell, and a botoxed mother who can still wound at thirty feet with just a look. Stirring constantly, thrust a fledgling business into the mix. Add one murder, a couple of suspects, a lot of food and one dreamy detective. Bring to a slow simmer over low heat and then gently fold in one disastrous bat mitzvah. Turn up the flame slightly and add in a mafia don who is a little too interested in our crazed housewife. Sprinkle generously with secret ingredients. Throw in a touch of danger and cook to perfection. Serve to anyone needing a good laugh.

It's not bad enough that her business is always on the edge, now Teddi Bayer's life is spinning out of control. Not only is she involved in another murder, but it seems that an old mafia don is suddenly a bit too interested in the Bayer family in general and Teddi's mom in particular. And then there's daughter Dana's bar mitzvah, which apparently is going to be held in the parking lot to the Long Island Railroad. . .
