Rachael Ray to have throat surgery      

photo Rachael Ray to have throat surgery TV cook and author Rachael Ray is due to have her previously announced throat surgery soon, around December 16th. The catchphrase-spouting kitchen cutie is having a benign cyst removed from her throat. No word yet on how long she'll be away from the tv studios, but her workaholic ways are well-known (must be the gallons of Dunkin' Donuts coffee?) so she probably has weeks worth of shows taped and standing by ahead of time.

We wish her a speedy recovery and no doubt she'll be back to Yum-EVOO-ing in no time!
