And then … we’ll use the iron to make grilled cheese! It will be so fun.
Since I seem to be falling down a little bit on regular blog posts, I’m grateful to Jane, who e-mailed me today on behalf of “an online retailer of appliance parts,” to let me know “about a fun, cooking video we made that you and the readers of Mama Non Grata may find interesting.”
Intrigued? Read on: “While appliances aren’t usually associated with fun and creativity,” Jane wrote, “we decided to push the envelope and see what crazy concoctions we could cook up with our own household appliances.” The online retailer of appliance parts, says Jane, has managed to do just that with its Dishwasher Lasagna Video.
“That’s right!” says Jane. “We actually cooked lasagna in the dishwasher (and ate it too!). Yes, we’re probably a little crazy and no, there isn’t anything wrong with the oven. We wanted to do it just to see if we could. … Next up… salad spinning in the washing machine?”
Those crazy kids. I admire them, being all crazy with their onlinedly retailed appliance parts. I mean, you can’t have fun at work, after all, then why bother? I hope you enjoyed that, readers of Mama Non Grata. Now go associate your appliances with fun and creativity! Your life will be better. I swear it.

I haven’t tried it but I might! Right now I am cooking my salmon on the grill on a cedar plank but if I run out of propane….
Well. I think now is the time to come out (so to speak) and mention that I once made a fabulous batch of yogurt in the front seat of my car.
…still wondering about the budgie…
we’ve held strong against the budgie. still chez the babysitter. but we did buy it some toys the other day. rachel t., i would be happy to air your “creative cooking with car” video any time you make one. I’m just wondering what exactly the appliance parts people think they stood to gain with this one…
On Thanksgiving, NPR always talks about truckers who cook turkeys on their truck engines as they drive.
p.s. You are totally invited to the evil lez takeover of the internet.
