Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart

It's nice to know that when I've got my attention elsewhere, the community is here to pick up the slack and mock Sean as necessary.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Thank goodness the OC was a rerun! Due to my missing half of it. I've never been so happy to see Paris Hilton.

I love my stick blender, even though I don't use it so often. SO much easier to deal with than the big blender for stuff like squash soup or whatever.

I am currently eating wasabi peas I bought at the drug store, and I think they might be my favorite brand I've tried thus far. They are saltier than the regular brand, and I am, as has been stated before, a saltwhore.

To understand what happened at the diner, we shall use Mr. Papaya! This is upsetting because he's the friendliest of fruits.

Did anyone else misread the transition between "Paris Hilton" and "stick blender"?

Now tagless for your comfort.

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.

Mine was my grandmother's. It survived our house fire when I was in college. The one that burned the kitchen completely. We dug the skillet out and it cleaned up very nicely.

Can anyone justify paying MSRP for a new Honda Odyssy? I've heard I'll pay invoice and I've never paid invoice on a new vehicle. The thought of paying invoice doesn't appeal to me.

But I really want one. We need the space.

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.

If you do want to cook lamb in a pan or skilet - cook with carrots, peas and new potatos. The peas and root veggies absorb the grease so:

1) the lamb is not greasy (and is flavored with the other stuff)
2) the carrots, potatos and peas are flavored by the lamb fat:

Everything is good. Not saying the broiler would not be even better - but I long ago decided no food goodie in the world is worth cleaning a broiler for.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

the carrots, potatos and peas are flavored by the lamb fat

But then there's the extra work of throwing them away.

I've served large numbers with that dish - lamb chops, peas, carrots and new potatios flavored with onion, garlic, salt pepper, a tablespoon of red wine, two teaspoons olive oil and a mint leaf or two from my garden. Never had any complaints.
