Question: How do you keep 900 degree heat from escaping your oven? Answer: Wrap it in abrasive fiberglass insulating blankets. Question: How do you keep fiberglass insulation from embedding itself into your forearms? Two words: gloves, long thick gloves. The good news is, the energy from your aged Oak wood will be encased in your oven. So, all that hard work putting on irritating insulation will pay off.
Forget prison. If you want to keep someone contained, wrap them in Stucco Lath screen. Then, give them a pair of tin snips (and no gloves) and tell them they are free to go at any time. Believe me, after and hour of trying to get out, their bloody stumps will be begging for mercy (Hey, Coen Brothers, I have screen play for you).
With the lath screen in place, the stucco will have something to adhere to. It might have stuck to the fluffy, white, abrasive insulating blankets, but why take that chance when cutting one’s self to ribbons is so much fun.

Green Pasta with tomatoes, olives and peas. Why peas? Why not peas. Shave some Parmesan on there just to be safe.
Minced, blanched spinach is what makes this green pasta green. Parsley also works (and tastes less spinachy). Mix the spinach with flour and eggs at the beginning of the pasta making process. It looks cool and freaks out little kids.
The weather isn’t as brutal as it could be, but it’s still hot. One of my favorite Summer dishes is Fried Chicken (eaten cold out of the fridge) and Cole Slaw. Fills you up without heating you up.
In an attempt not to be eaten, chickens employed a smart tactic. They named themselves after human body parts: leg, thigh, breast. Very crafty, chickens. But, I’m not falling for it. Just mention a leg or a thigh and I start salivating. (Thought I was going to make a breast joke, didn’t you?) Coat those parts with flour, salt and pepper and I fry them in a cast iron grill…on my grill! Why heat up the house?!
My standard Cole Slaw is three quarters shaved cabbage, one quarter grated carrot and yellow onion. Sauce it with a heaping spoonful of mayonnaise, splash of apple cider vinegar, drizzle of honey and salt & pepper. If you let it sit for an hour it’s even better.

$2.99, really? A nine month old hog (probably along with other assorted animals) ground up and pumped into a tube, shipped all over creation (bad choice of words) to feed the huddled masses for $2.99? That seems to be less than the process (and the noble animal) should be worth. How about a mystery-free hot dog for a few dollars more? Could Sonic be hiding something else in there? Na, probably just savvy packaging. Touche Sonic, touche.
Hey, do you smell that? It’s the smell of mass food producers grinding out a profit (like a roll of caustic dimes in tube form). I’m embarrassed for the cheese. Can I get a gallon of Coke with that for an extra .99 cents?
Meaty Chili and Melty Cheese, indeed. I hope there is some sort of meat-tube marketing award, because Sonic would be running away with it. Instead of us just posturing militarily towards North Korea, we should send them a few cases of these dirty water hot dogs. They would either nap through this whole crisis or be killed by the additives. Capitalism rules!
