Timelies all!

My dad has learned about Googling people's names. He seemed rather proud of the stuff he found. He needs a real hobby.

I really dislike broiling. I would love a stovetop like a cousin has, with a grill on it, but if I can't have that, I need some decent way to do fish and burgers.

Guess I'm the lone Foreman naysayer -- we had one, but got rid of it ages ago because we never used it. Anything a Foreman's good for can just as easily be cooked in a skillet (or a grill pan or broiler), both of which are easier to clean afterwards and don't need to be plugged in.

[Ha! Anti-Foreman x-post!]

I'm pretty gadget-avoidant. I just prefer poaching or broiling, I guess.

I'm an exceedingly lazy cook. Lazy, lazy, lazy. Which is why I love the grill.

Lucky Fury.

Hee. He's love on a stick.

His assistant asked if we had ever met, if I wanted to be introduced to Fury. I just grinned.

Maybe it's the NYC-esque lack of counterspace, but I've never understood why cooking something in a Foreman grill is easier than cooking it in a skillet. It seems like a lot more work to me.

With lamb in particular, I find that the grill draining the fat away results in a much better tasting finished product - pans or skillets just end up frying it in grease and getting the meat oversaturated. But I opt for the maximum grease version of hamburger and eye of round in a skillet-they seem to cook more evenly and flavorfully.

This reminds me of the one time I bought a T-bone from a cajun butcher, and the thing simmered down to half its starting mass when I cooked it—grease EVERYWERE. I think that particular cow had died from clogged arteries before they could get it to slaughter.

Jess, I dropped off the TVGuide signed by your DH to be signed by the writers. Fury's assistant was all, "wait, this is the guy who wrote this stuff? How'd you get this?"

So I got to namedrop you DH at the LOST office.

If anyone asks, me and DH go WAYYYY back. heh.

My counter space is at a premium now, which does not make it more attractive, but even when I had my big kitchen in my old house, I decided against one. My mother loves her, but I'm gadget averse.

Also, I'm the cast iron skillet's bitch. It's a pan, And a weapon. You really can't ask more from any kitchen utensil.

Well, you could ask it to be a cleaver.

I'm forever asking the objects in my kitchen to do this.

No luck so far.
