It's convenient to have the microwave in the living room anyway -- if you want popcorn while watching tv - it's right there.
Apparently, Ashton Kutcher doesn't enjoy being pranked any more than Michael Vartan did.
Giles, if you would like to get by in American society, then you are going to have to follow our traditions. You're the patriarch. You have to host the festivities, or it's all meaningless.

What can I say? I'm a purist. I do spray 'em with olive oil when wrapping them in aluminum foil to crisp up the skins, but that's about it. Cooking meals usually takes me about an hour, anyway.

Why do people wrap the potatoes in foil. Mine get scrubbed, forked, and put straight on the rack, which yields very crispy skins.

Excellent. Good. So are all deep-fried things made sort of crispy on the outside? And how does this process affect Mars bars? Also, how deep does the oil need to be? Must the thing being deep-fried be immersed in the oil, or can it float at the top?

No. We weren't able to get ahold of Paul to find out about visiting hours and suchlike. Hopefully Paul will return our voicemail message sometime today, and then we can go visit tonight.

Add "lightly brushed with canola oil and kosher salt" before "put straight on the rack," and you have my method. Which, IIRC, I got from Alton Brown, my Secret Boyfriend (Culinary Division).

Keeps the heat and moisture in. It's good to heat tortillas in foil for the same reason.
