"I've got a ten inch frying pan; I use a ten inch frying pan. Some chefs use an eight inch or a seven inch frying pan. I like to use a ten inch pan."

Now you know where those two and a half minutes went.

+chopped garlic and a few dashes of worcesterchire sauce to the meatballs and deglaze your frying pan with port wine before you add your beef stock (real beef stock not that boullione crap) and cream=better swedish meatballs than this.
oh..would you look at me being a little foodie cunt.
sorry =(


Hah no, you're not a cunt, but sometimes the simplest of recipes are surprisingly delicious!

At what point does hitting your child with a frying pan go from child abuse to funny anecdote? After 22.3 years?

Fair point @Hive13. I got a good smacking once or twice and it didn't do me any harm (assuming my occasional murder sprees aren't a symptom of that). There's a general point which is that in an ideal world, you would never have cause to strike a child - but this is not an ideal world.

I'm a little uneasy at hearing about someone hitting their child with a frying pan but I'm not going to condemn the woman from my middle class suburban haven - especially as this is a second hand account about 40 years after the fact!

I'm guessing you don't have kids in a dangerous, ghetto neighborhood. That frying pan to the head is infinitely more valuable to a kid in that situation than ignoring it and burying him with a bullet in his head.

That's not my point. Regardless of whether or not she was right to do this (and there are other ways to get a point across), it strikes me - no pun intended - that we now laugh at what was a really horrible situation that they were in. As it was MCD who originally told the story, evidently he was OK with it being told and no doubt grew to understand why it happened but it's still odd that a funny anecdote can be made out of a child being beaten up by a gang twice and hit by his own mother.
If someone was caught doing today what his mother did then, they'd be charged with child abuse and I very much doubt the reasons given would get them off the hook. I didn't mean to say she was necessarily wrong to do this (although I did rather imply this), just that this wouldn't be acceptable today - were we wrong then, or are we wrong now?


I think your last paragraph is what makes laughing at the shit we used to get from our parents back in the good old days so funny. Anyone over the age of 30 can relate to getting a serious butt whooping. I don't think it is wrong at all, personally, now or then. All parents have their own way of discipline and their own breaking point. I would never hit one of my kids with a frying pan, but then again I have never been confronted with one of them joining a gang either.

Sometimes a frying pan down the pants comes in handy ... any cartoon character would tell you that =oD

Nobody brought eggs and a frying pan?! C'mon... at least test that out!

Let's see if he can do that with Cast Iron.

Anyone can bend aluminum. I have a frying pan that bent in half when I dropped it on the floor.

I actually tried this method once, and wound up accidentally burning the bottom of the crust. I find the most foolproof way to reheat cold pizza is to put it into a toaster oven in a pan, set the oven to toast, and then just keep an eye on it. You end up with the same crisped-up crust, but with less risk of burning.


At home I really like this frying pan method. At work I like the toaster oven, but, nothing is foolproof, foolishness is an unstoppable force.

*edit.. Cold pizza is foolresistant.

Yeah, rorsharch that shit up.

I wanna see the aftermath... but at least he did not reach for the french frying pan and toss that on them, woulda been worse.
