You can also use the pyrex to make brownies, which are a very easy bachelor food: add water and oil to the mix and bake.
And 7 layer dip for parties! and tuna casserole and enchiladas...
Get up...get up, you stupid piece of... What did you do that for? What's wrong with you? Didn't you hear a word he said? All of you! You think there's someone just going to drop money on you?! Money they could use?! Well, there ain't people like that. There's just people like me.

A dress should be tight enough to show you're a woman but loose enough to flee from zombies. — Ginger

The lost sheep grow teeth, forsake their lambs, and lie with the lions.
I'll second Megan's rec on the pyrex pans and the cookie sheet. Cookie sheets have many more uses than just cookies. They make a good oven platform for things that might spill.

Plus, P-C, there's something very attractive about a man who cooks. It would be a very amusant selling point, to include your trials and tribulations in the cuttthroat world of bachelor meets baking goods world.

That's a really big deal--it's our version of the UN. Denying us access to our own in a time of crisis...peculiar.
ita, there was a bit on the NYT blogabout how MSF/DWB flight was diverted yesterday too. I guess the FAA are controlling who lands at the airport and it is prioritized as Search and rescue top, Military, second, humanitarian, third. [link]
ETA: This is from a BBC reporter:
Some aid agencies have complained their flights were redirected to enable Hillary Clinton to land. [...]
Sophia, could it be oil leaking from the motor? Call the landlord...it's the joy of being a renter.

Now tagless for your comfort.
You can also bake corn bread in a small, cast iron skillet.
It was a perfect day for going outside: Sunny, 30 degrees and no wind at all.
The kids and I put on our gear and went to the park where we spent an hour rolling around in the snow, sliding, swinging and digging in the "snow box."
Then we came back and I made hot chocolate. I should really make brownies and it would be perfection.

I don't know how to make corn bread!
You don't HAVE to have corn bread with chili. I never make it with chili because I am lazy and figure that I've already made ONE thing; I'm not making two. (Despite the fact that "making" chili is just opening cans and such, emptying them into the crock pot, stirring well, and then putting the lid on and walking away.)
Making one new thing (i.e., the chili) is enough for you for one meal, I think. For people who love to cook, they can make all kinds of new shit and revel in it. But I don't try more than one new thing at any given meal, since I am not one of those people who loves to cook.
Although the box of Jiffy corn bread IS really easy to make. And if you have a bread loaf pan, you can make all kinds of stuff and impress people (like beer bread -- 3 ingredients, easy-peasy, and people will be like, "Man, you can BAKE?!?").

I only use boxed jiffy. I love that they order you "DON'T STIR TOO MUCH!"
Ok, I'll be lazy!
Mmm, cornbread.

I remember the dining halls in college would make cornbread AND then set out apple butter to go with it (a STELLAR combination, IMO).
Except for the times the dining hall cooks got bored or something and made jalapeno corn bread but didn't identify it as such. (1) I hate jalapeno anything, and (2) apple butter on jalapeno corn bread is not as good as you might think.
Okay. Have to shower and go buy dog beds and groceries.
