I'm a single undead gal trying to make it in the big city. I have to start somewhere and they're evil here. They don't judge. They've got necro-tempered glass. No burning up. A great medical plan, and who needs dental more than us?

psst! cook it in the oven on a sheet pan lined with foil. No splatter, and you just throw away the foil.

But then do you still collect the grease, off the foil somehow?!?

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.

The foil bends into a half-assed funnel and you can just pour it off. Easy peasy. Pumpkin pie.

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart

Lordy. At 9 I used to cook dinner for the family on a pretty regular basis.

I've been watching Junior Masterchef Australia. It is inCREDible. 8-12 year olds who are basically 5 star chefs. Creative, poised, skilled and cordial.

Somehow, I can't imagine that show making it in America.

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.

They're pretty incredible, aren't they? I don't watch the show, but I've caught snippets here and there. Not just their cooking ability, but the presentation is excellent.

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!

Oh, wait, it's not a book made of bacon here you peel off the leaves and fry them up, is it?

I'm so glad it wasn't just me, -t. I was thinking, it's like in Harry Potter, The Bacon Book of Bacon!

My kids haven't popped popcorn, but they have helped me bake before.

"Kids Cook the Silliest Things"

Spot. On.

Not just their cooking ability, but the presentation is excellent.

Seriously. The kids are awesome, the judges are super helpful, the food is enticing. It's all just so lovely.

Not that I'm addicted or anything, but I love the one season of Celebrity Masterchef Australia as well. Rockers. Swimmers. Journalists. Politicians. All with an amazing penchant for fine food. A joy to watch.

Oh! And Conviction Kitchen!

I just love the Aussies.
