Well, possums, we had a feeling there was a problem with those Easy-Bake ovens, and now some of them are being recalled.
The Associated Press begins its report thus: "Lots of young girls have an Easy-Bake Oven, or have a friend who has one. Now, Easy-Bake Ovens that have been sold since last May are being recalled because a girl can burn her hands on them."
Awww. Isn't that cute? Isn't that droll? A girl can certainly make condescending jokes, can't she?
However, when discussing the recall of the toys, which (ding, ding, ding!) "are purple and pink and resemble a kitchen stove with four burners on top and a front-loading oven," the AP changes its tune a little. Now it is not just girls who are in danger of getting burned. Instead, "Hasbro says it has received 29 reports of children getting their fingers or hands caught in the oven's opening. Five children have been burned."
So it's children, is it? Not just girls? We demand to know: Just how many little gay boys have gotten "their fingers or hands caught in the oven's opening"? And how many have been burned? If a whole generation of little homos is dissuaded from cooking by traumatic experiences related to faulty Easy-Bake Ovens, the whole future of Martha Stewart Living Omnimedia could be at risk.

Bravo doesn't explain how to season the popcorn??
Isn't that interesting! Especially considering that we ALL know how to make popcorn and the only other step involved with this recipe would be the addition of seasoning!
Did Padma post that recipe for Sam!?!
yes. evidently the recipe (which my mom printed out and wants to make) says: INgredients: canola oil, popcorn kernels.
that's it.
we may not all be Top Chefs but I don't think anyone watching that show is THAT stupid.......
