Sooner or later, you're gonna want it. And the second — the second — that happens, you know I'll be there. I'll slip in, have myself a real good day.

Sweet potato latkes

4 medium sweet potatoes
Mint (the plant), coriander
2 eggs
6 spoons of flour
Salt and pepper
Oil

Cook the sweet potatoes with a little bit of salt, mash when soft. Add mint, coriander, eggs and flour and mix. If it's too liquid, add more flour. If it's too solid, add another 1/2 egg. A little bit of salt and pepper, and fry with the oil.

(No knuckles required, that's why god created the food processor.)

And again, I ask - what do you people have against graters?

I have nothing against graters, Shir. I consider the grater attachment on the food processor a grater. For myself I am stuck using a hand grater as despite the glory of the food processor I don't actually own one.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

coriander

You mean fresh coriander, right? AKA cilantro.

I guess I should get in the shower, and potentially pack...

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Merry Christmas, Batman

I don't know where this is from.

Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica

I got 72%, but I guessed on a lot of them.

Cilantro in latkes? That is so wrong, even if you did like cilantro.

Yes! Didn't know it has another name in the fresh form.

NO CILANTRO IN THE LATKES

It's all about the dosage.

Besides, those latkes are mostly for people who are fed up with the usual potato latkes.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

After watching the reaction to the San Francisco Valentine Day Gay Marriage fest my feelings are very strongly that people consider marriage to be different from civil unions and it has much greater emotional resonance.

I keep going back to the Asimov short story "Bicentenniel Man" where a robot desires freedom and goes to court to get it. And the court rules that if you can desire freedom you deserve it. So I think that if two consenting adults desire marriage, they should be married. Not civilly unionized, but married as they choose. It is the emotional, cultural binding that matters to them as much as the legal status.
