Gonna drink tonight? Call Chicken Delight!

[Tash]

Opah!!!

[nursecindy]

Would this be classified as CWI?

[Steve]

Also, don't "smoke" and cook. You'll munch yourself out of house and home.

[Jeff Meyerson]

*hands Lairbo his new geezer bus pass*

I've been to Pretatyn and believe me, this is way more excitement than they're used to having.

[Annie Where-but-here]

North Wales is near Scotland, right? This guy was nearly kilt.

Who let a guy near a kitchen anyway?

[wiredog]

Now we know why the galloping gourmet had to leave the air for a while.

[wiredog]

I guess the Flaming Moe is right out then.

And Annie, I can cook. Learned from Mom, Julia Child, and Joy of Cooking (2nd edition).

[MartiniShark]

I think Kringle is smart enough to go with a fire retardant suit - he plunges down chimneys, after all.

I so need a job where they pay me to burn Santa in effigy. Any that picture will be my desktop wallpaper for the rest of the year.

From the article: The fire was caused by a grill left unattended, the fire service said.
Grillin's Man's Work™ (my wife agrees, so I'm allowed to call it that), so it was OK.

[AlaskaMarty]

Ah yes, the Jack Daniels school of gourmet house burningcooking!

[Horace LaBadie]

I've seen Julia Child lit up while cooking more than once.

Deck the halls with flaming Santa's. (On Fire Island, that would be redundant.)

[Siouxie]

This is the reason I don't cook.

[crossgirl]

Don't drink and cook.

nooooooooooooooooooo! we're all gonna starve!

[trustf8]

I like my drinks cold & my grill Ho Ho HOT!

[Will (the other one)]

I think that this guy wasn't having "a" drink while cooking. He was getting totally paceJ+!ys while cooking. There's a difference.

[Meanie the Blue]

Bottoms (lit) up!

[insomniac]

People also buy every type of spirit from the optics...

is that like wearing beer goggles?

[Meanie the Blue]

We're still allowed to cook and drive, though, right?

Those ever vigilant fire fighters, always ready with a good show.

July 4th...
The usual fire crackers or sparklers in the dummy's hand trick. Or maybe even an M80 in the turkey's butt. A real crowd pleaser.

Thanksgiving...
What would the Holiday be without the old "Frozen turkey plopped into the deep fryer" trick?

Easter...
Have you ever seen the roman candle in the bunny hole display?? Very impactful.

[wiredog]

I once had the fire department come by after a deep fried turkey experience. We didn't have a thermometer for the oil and heated it past the flash point. Lifted the lid and WHOOSH! flame shot 20 feet in the air. Put the lid back on, said "Hey! Watch this!" and did it a few more times.

[MartiniShark]

I don't think I like this new legislation.

They probably won't even let us cook outside now.

Eh, forget it, I'm going out to eat.

[insomniac]

sirens blare, are you listening?
in the house, smells of blistering
our costume's a sight, until it ignites
cooking in a winter trauma-land

fall asleep while you're baking
soon skin grafts they'll be taking
on the ward you will be
where the morphine is free
cooking in a winter trauma-land!

on the front lawn medics doing triage
sorting out what's turkey and what's you
for a small extra added fee-age
an egg-nog flavored i.v'll get you through!

later on at eleven
see who's alive or in heaven
when booze and St. Nick
do their strange little mix
working in a winter trauma-land!

[crossgirl]

buys insom a round of eggnog flavored i.v.s
bravo!!

speaking of cooking w/alcohol.... cj didn't understand why i wasn't more concerned with the burner in flames beneath the tomato sauce. clearly he doesn't understand that you have to very gently turn the meatballs so they won't break and the stupid fire on the neighboring burner can just wait til your done.

[nursecindy]

Wonders if Wiredog's eyebrows ever grew back. Good one insomniac!

[bonmot]

*Buys insom and mtb a sleigh-load full of egg-nogged cheerleaders!*

[NotSherly]

Well done (heh), insom!

[trustf8]

To keep all in the holiday spirit, a toast to insom with this
Flaming Jesus recipe

1 1/2 oz Absolut® vodka
1 splash lime juice
1 splash grenadine syrup
Bacardi® 151 rum

Pour vodka, lime juice, and grenadine into shot glass. Then layer 151 proof rum on top from the back of a spoon. Light the 151 and shoot it while lit if you dare.

[Brian]

Gee insom....
You got me feeling all warm and fuzz.....wait.....(sniff-sniff)....

Ah-ohhhhh......(stop - drop - and roooollllll...)

Very funny.
