naturalfake: On last night's Simpsons...

A) Wow, is that trash still running? I mean, it died as a funny show over a decade ago.

2) Not to get personal, but... why would you anyone watch it?

#) Hope Matt Groening is enjoying his residuals.

Vic, of course, sums up what ought to be: Rape allegations on college campuses should be handled the same way as all other rape allegations. All of these should be turned over to the local police.

What if we made, say, campus murder a different matter than "regular" murder?

As to the headline question, and why they are doing this at all, if we follow the money, where does it lead?

What the heck, I'm gonna stay here a minute more anyway.

...Please reattach your manacles...

Seamus: I tried. I really did. But I can never squint just the right way...

Eye see what you did there. Making a spectacle of yourself again.

Dang, DrewM! How long have my comments been being willowed?

Full Face the Nation interview with Donald Trump. More softball of an interview that with George Staphasnugglepuss, but I did like most of Trump's answers.

h/t Sundance, Conservative Treehouse for the vid

Vic: That's it for today folks.

Thanks, Vic, and welcome back!

...GOP-led Congress will finally act to fulfill a 2010 promise to repeal and replace ObamaCare.

Vic: And what is the replace shit?

Yeah, that always gets me, too. Republicrats!

Vic: On this day in 1889 the first Oklahoma Land Rush opened two million acres of unused Oklahoma Territory to first serve first come settlers on April 22.

If the weather was like it is today, you had some shiverin' settlers!

Here's a good article in The New American about the settling of "America's Last Frontier: Oklahoma."

Morning, Glories!

Happy Lords a-Leaping Day.

Celebrate by lighting a fire under an elected official.

Checked the local obituaries and I'm not in them, so I guess I'll go to bed.

Good night, Gracies!

Actually, a Brandy Alexander made with blackberry-walnut ice cream doesn't sound that bad... does it?...

Kinda negates the whole "my eyes are up here...." thing... wait a minute, I'm deja vuing all over again...

What I meant to say is...

I'd gladly trade my little red truck for that one! (Annnd some Rustoleum.) Gitcha through the EMP times.

CAPT_Ron: Hey, what happened to Kwanzaa last year? Did I sleep through it?

It's lying in a puddle of vomit in the background of that New Years Eve in Manchester pic. Next to Waldo.

Anne Applebaum in Russia and the Great Forgetting

Something about those who don't know history, doomed to reruns...

Speaking of reruns...

Patrick Duffy Finally Publishes His Novel Based on Man From Atlantis

So, decades after not watching the show, I can finally not read the novel. That's great.

Speaking of great...

How to Build a Road Roman Style

Just as my driveway needs repaving! Finally, news I can really use from the ONT!

Besides how to wear a suit, I mean.

Thought you could sneak the ONT by me, eh? Well, no way ho-say! I saw it.

And I deny emphatically that the mindful webworker on the top sock list of shame is me. Must've been two other mindful webworkers. That's the ticket, yeah.

All this talk of lamb and no mention of Gyros? It can be good or mediocre, but pressed beef and lamb gyros became one of my favorite foods the first time Milady took me to a Greek restaurant. Greek Islands in Chicago used to be the best, perfectly roasted and thinly cut. Served with Tzatziki.

Even back when we were more-or-less "vegetarians," I'd still go for gyros. (That, and Mom's bacon, blessed holy food.) One can't be fanatical, after all.j

Now I want Roditys, saganaki, and spanakopita!

Wow, folks, bucket-load of replies on the mystery cast-iron pan. Thanks.

No, not shallow indentations - realized the pic didn't show depth. No attached lid. No good for egg poaching, either. We'd thought of that, and some kind of bread things. As it turns out...

So, DangerGirl was first with Ebleskiver. Honorable mention to Moki for the recipe and artisanal 'ette for the better catalog picture.

THANKS for playing! Milady will, I'm sure, be trying it out soon. Will let you know.

Greetings, Food Threaders!

Milady has a question for y'all.

It's one thing to have a recipe but not have the right implements to prepare it. But what about when you have an implement and you don't know what recipe it's for?

We have a cast iron pan (inherited) with seven indents, but we're not sure what it's for. Hard to web-search, but we thought it might be useful to horde-source. Clue, anyone?
