Very convincing. Makes me completely want to put myself under government control. Please take me to where you can make me unconscious and naked.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

What does the nuke step add that's better than just covering the skillet?

Less time in the skillet, as far as I can tell. The skillet just crisped up the crust, the nuking kept it moist while it melted the cheese.

Punishingly Intricate

Well, I just changed my plan for Bob's power tool present and ordered it from Ace and they will deliver to my local store. So there you go, Lowes!

askye, so glad your little dumbass adventurer came home!

ION, I just brought down the Hammer of Justice on three little boys walking home. One of them was whaling on a bag of leaves my neighbor cleaned up today, strewing them all about the alley. I heard them. "What in the HEY-ELL do you think y'all are doing??!! Where do you live? Y'all are cleaning that shit up RIGHT NOW." And threw down a broom. Two of the boys were very apologetic (it was their little brother, and in their defense, they were telling him to quit it) and waited until I came down with another broom and a scoop so they could put it in the trash cans. The culprit ran as soon as I started down.

They cleaned it up all right. I scared the SHIT out of them, they were practically stumbling over each other, and shaking. One of them earnestly told me he would tell his mom.

They were probably all under 10 or 11.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Sara's a Neighbor Lady! Hee.

Speaking of neighbors, mine is back from 2.5 weeks out of town! So glad. She's my commuting buddy, so it has been bo-ring!

Apparently so. I was all, Brian just cleaned all that up (including in front of my house) OH HELLS NO. Had they been older, I might've called the cops, but they had on a local elem. uniform, so... Just one of those dumbass things little kids do when traveling in packs. Given their demeanor, I don't expect they'll be trying that again soon. "Ma'am, yes, ma'am. I apologize for my brother, ma'am. Ma'am, do you have another broom so I could help, ma'am? Please?"

Good call, Lisa!

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l

My neighborhood is full of satellite trucks now, for Sandusky's hearing tomorrow. A little while ago, I could hear helicopters circling. And, for added ambiance, there was a Christmas thing this past weekend, and Santa's house is still on the courthouse lawn.

I might also be a little whackadoodle.
