I know Alton says not to buy a gadget that only does one thing. BUT I love cast iron and the concept of cute little corn shaped cornbreads was just too irresistable. SO freaky darlings-- I have this thing. I have used it twice. The first time was a miserable failure. "Self" I said to myself, "Obviously we didn't season this properly." Attempt two went down last night..a little better but the corny muffins still did not just JUMP outta the pan. In an effort to follow my mentor's advice--I preheated the oiled pan in a 425F oven...just like Alton. The results were better but still not camera worthy. Does anybody have one of these things? How do they work? I want to twist it like a ice cube tray, but seems how my femininimum Wonder woman bracelets are at the cleaners--I am kinda at a loss. I need help!

Bonobo's fight back

I am glad that Stopid dawg doesn't have thumbs--she would try to pull the stunt that this Horny lil monkey tried.
I am fond of Bonobo monkeys; as is my sweetie--who, at lunch today pointed out the escape Miss DrillmebecauseI'mstressed Monkey attempted. My dog asks to go out pretty much every two hours because she hopes I will get up from the keyboard and play soccer or tug of war w/her. yyyyeaah. Bonobo Monkeys are cool because rather than bug the shit out of whatever human is in charge of feeding them--they relieve their stress by getting it on. I know this scintillating information not from a book or even a Animal Planet program-- but because several years ago a certain North Dakota-ian family and my family all went to the zoo together..and we SAW the mighty Bonobo Monkeys gettin it on. At first I was appalled--crazy little monkeys gettin jiggy with it... all over! EVERYWHERE just random couplings--they were on the jungle gym, on the floor , hanging from fake vines--crazy monkey orgy--but upon reflection (and giggling like a lunatic)-I had to admit--sex does seem like a pretty good stress reducer, maybe if a few more uptight humanoids swung from the monkey bars we would have less war?

Wings get record-tying win, 3-2

VANCOUVER, British Columbia -- Johan Franzen's tiebreaking short-handed goal helped Detroit beat the Vancouver Canucks 3-2 on Tuesday night, and give the Red Wings a franchise-record matching ninth-straight win.
Franzen was killing off the final seconds of a Canucks power play when he pulled up atop the right faceoff circle and wristed a long shot between the legs of both Vancouver defenseman Patrick Coulombe and goaltender Roberto Luongo with 6:19 left in the third period.

Henrik Zetterberg and Valtteri Filppula also scored for the Wings, who haven t lost since Oct. 21 in Edmonton.

Dominik Hasek, who blanked Edmonton and Nashville in his last two starts, extended his shut out streak to a career-best 181 minutes, 17 seconds before Henrik Sedin scored on a power play 7:49 into the second period.

Detroit was outshooting the Canucks 16-4 and leading 1-0 before being penalized for too many men on the ice. Hasek stopped Naslund's wrist shot from the top of the left circle, but couldn't glove Sedin's sharp-angle shot on the rebound.

It was the first goal given up by Hasek in 10 days. But the 41-year-old made 18 saves to keep another streak alive with his seventh straight win.

After Franzen put the Wings ahead, Hasek got a little help when Alexandre Burrows goal was waved off immediately by referee Bill McCreary, who instead called a goaltender interference penalty on Jan Bulis for bumping Hasek in the crease.

Kevin Bieksa also scored, and Luongo finished with 30 saves as the Canucks lost for the sixth time in the last seven games.

Filppula's shot from the slot ricocheted in off the shoulder of Coulombe at the side of the net 4:36 into the second. Zetterberg put Detroit ahead early in the third when he was left alone behind the Vancouver defense and outwaited Luongo before lifting a backhand over the fallen goalie.

Bieksa tied it 30 seconds later on a one-timer from the slot.
