'Shindig'
Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
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.
Welcome back Emily. Congrats to your mother and all newly acquired relatives.
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).
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.

That's what the top of the fridge is for.
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.
Hi Emily, grab a potato. Congrats on the family accumulation.
ETA: my favourite baked potatoes get nuked first (for speed) then thrown on the barbeque in foil, but alas I have no bbq these days. I miss it.
Also, accidental slumbernut, woot.
That's what the top of the fridge is for.
My fridge is about 5'10. Small yet tall and light things are stored very close to the front edge. That's about it.
With the new kitchen, I have a bit more space and need to decide between a grill, toaster oven, or microwave. Jury's still out.

Put it on the floor in the livingroom, stick a pillow on top, and call it an ottoman.
