I hate product placement in general, but it really irriates me when the product is misplaced.

The only reason(s) not to cook this would be if it is hot where you are (because of all the heat and steam generated by the risotto making) and if you couldn't get butternut squash. I love squash risotto.

Nope, it's a perfect and lovely day. Plus, a good vent above the rangetop.

Ron Popeil says that the next hot trend is deep fried pickles.

Now I really really like pickles and all, and I hate the fact that you can't really get good pickles here, but that sounds disgusting.

my fucking god. how sheltered have you been?

I do too. I have a friend who (dr) peppers every conversation with brand names. One of our infrequent because interminable can't get a word in edgewise phone calls will go something like,
"I was reaching down to get Jakey's Baby Einstein DVDs out of the storage compartment in my Odyssey when I spilled my Diet Pepsi all over my husband's new Old Navy sweatpants, so I took my Clorox Bleach Pen and rubbed it on before throwing them in my LG front loader and it worked great! I'm telling you, the Bleach Pen rocks! When I was at my mom's house I had to use her Shout Gel to get an Aunt Millie's Meat Sauce stain out of my Gap t-shirt and it didn't work as well. "

It makes me want to throw my Samsung in my Kohler and stick my head in my Dakor.

Do you know how much she's being paid for each conversation with you?

Because I haven't had deep fried pickles? I don't have deep fried much of anything. Except chicken. Mmmmm fried chicken.

Ron says he had the deep fried battered pickles in an upscale (not sure what that means in his world) restaurant in LA. Is it common is Detwah?

Great results, and I'm sure you feel a ton better. But you do need fuel or your body gets all inefficient and burns the wrong stuff.

Did you not get Burger's link?

Hm. I live BETWEEN Robertson and La Cienega. I feel like a woman without a country.

I think mushrooms might be good -- they are kinda meaty. Or bacon. Mmmmm, bacon. What area of the country do you live in, anyway?

last night we had bacon burgers.

Bacon, or course, has the best smell as it cooks- but i noticed after dinner that the remaining bacon grease smell is bad.

Is the great/bad smell distinction due to anticipation? like before "you will be eating bacon" is what the smell says, but later there is no more bacon to eat (think post o porno) or is bacon grease only a good smell at high temps?

only in southern restaurants. You would have trouble going into an "American" restaurant anywhere in the south that did not have some form of fried pickle.

It would be a nice poll. Maybe consider it. But he just blew it with me a couple of weeks ago and is now just dead to me.

I don't dislike the smell of congealed bacon grease. So I can't opine.

Let's do a poll like the shape shifter one.

I think it's about freshness rather than temperature. It's like how a woodfire smells great when it's burning but the residue has a different composition from the smoke.

Two solutions, by the way. As for bacon specifically, you can bake it by putting it on parchment paper on a jelly roll pan. That will reduce the cooking odors. Otherwise, you can put a shallow, wide-mouthed bowl of white vinegar next to the stove as you are cooking and it will absorb the odors so that they don't linger in the house. The house will still smell good like Bacon! while you're cooking, but not so bad afterward. This only works if you can stand the smell of vinegar, although it shouldn't be overpowering -- it will only smell like vinegar near the stove.
