I think you need to step away from the weapons and into the kitchen equipment store.
It's my estimation that... every man ever got a statue made of him, was one kind of sumbitch or another.

I was very doubtful about the microwave trick the first time I tried it, but it really does work quite well.

Shit's all sorts of different now.
You don't have a microwave. I for got. Nevermind the plastic ones.

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.
Reminds me of a Mitch Hedberg bit.
I like baked potatoes, man. I don't have a microwave oven; it takes forever to cook a baked potato in a conventional oven. Sometimes I'll just throw one in there, even if I don't want one, because by the time it's done... who knows? I'll throw a potato in and go on vacation.

That reminds me, I've not yet tried the current gas oven out on a baked potato to see if it comes out like the ones in restaurants (vastly superior to potatoes baked at home in microwaves or an electric oven, IMHO).

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I should have married Mitch when I had the chance.
And by "the chance" I only mean when he was alive. I still would have a whole lot to do, what with the never having met him and everything.
Because he's precisely right.
Betsy -- I have a KitchenAid mixer, an ice cream machine with dual vats, a crock pot with a timer, a 400 watt hand blender, cordless electric kettle, and one of those one-handed pepper grinders. Am not averse to the kitchen gadgets. However, West LA kitchens? Way short on counter space.

Thanks, -t. I was afraid that I'd picked a bad time, what with the ferocious potato discussion.

Sorry if I messed up my coding up there. I'm a little distracted today.
I used to love baked potatoes done in the gas oven when I was growing up. I think the spuds were scrubbed, poked, rolled in salt while still damp, wrapped in foil, and then baked at 350? 400?F for an hour or so. They always came out yummy.
